Doing it in-house
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.

Gillock: questions and answers
Which documents can you supply for work in Gillock?
RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details: list what the site needs and we will confirm it with the quote. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we carry £5m public liability insurance.
Is Gillock too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, which many sites require.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
When can showers be used after new sealant?
Each sealant has a cure time before it should get wet. Phasing is planned with the cure time in mind so there are always rooms open.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Cost factors for washrooms and wet areas
To price the job, we consider:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Joint width, depth and condition
- How much existing material needs removing
The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a quote when you’re ready.
What to include in your enquiry
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- Access details, including height
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? We will quote against your scope and drawings that you can work with. For a chat about it beforehand, phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Signs you need washroom sealing in Gillock
Much of the failed sealant we remove was applied over old silicone or residue. New silicone won’t grip the old so it peels away quickly.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling
- Kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean
- Failed sealant behind washroom basins
- Complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms
In any commercial washroom in or near Gillock, mouldy sealant is cut out rather than cleaned, and anti-mould sanitary silicone goes on clean, dry joints.

When something else is needed
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint
- A dripping waste or valve behind a panel
- Vanity carcasses that have swollen
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Vanity units and basins
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- Urinals and WCs
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- Kitchens and tea points
What the job involves on each surface
Changing rooms and gyms
We phase work so not every changing area is closed at once. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
Healthcare and care settings
Healthcare work is phased so wards, clinics or residents’ areas keep their facilities. Records you need can be confirmed with the quote.
