Doing it in-house
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, 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.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.

The enquiries we see most involve sealant stained black around basins and showers and washrooms that look worn because of the sealant, across IPS panels and cubicles, vanity units and basins and kitchens and tea points.

Sanitary sealant for Glengarnock buildings
Glengarnock is on Scotland’s wetter western side. Washrooms with weak extraction stay damp in this climate, and mould finds the silicone first.
Washrooms near Glengarnock get the old silicone stripped out and a fresh anti-mould bead on dry joints. Where you’re responsible for a hall attached to a building such as Kilbirnie Auld Kirk, its kitchen and toilets need sealant that stays cleanable.
Glengarnock is about 6 miles north of Kilwinning, in North Ayrshire. Across the KA14 postcode area, the process is the same: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Our North Ayrshire coverage takes in 54 places, from busy centres to rural villages. We also cover Glasgow, some 18 miles away.

Your questions answered
Will all the washrooms in our Glengarnock building be closed at once?
Normally only some of them, for a short time. We work in phases so other facilities stay open. Each area is handed back once the sealant has cured enough to use.
Is Glengarnock too far out for you?
No. Places such as Glengarnock are covered as much as the big towns. We work across every Scottish council area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you need to see the site first?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
Is it possible to just clean mouldy silicone?
Usually not. Mould grows into the sealant itself so cleaning only lightens it for a while. Replacing the bead is the lasting answer.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Each site asks for different documents, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.

Cost factors for washrooms and wet areas
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- Phasing around occupants
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
What to include in your enquiry
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- The product your specification calls for
- Your programme or deadline
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and a fixed quote will follow. To get it moving, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Looking after the joints
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Clean sealant with gentle products and a soft cloth
- Keep a record of which washrooms need attention
- Respect the cure time before reopening each room
- Tell us about infection-control or permit rules before we quote
Include sealant joints in your planned maintenance checks. Look for black spotting, cracks, peeling edges and gaps at the busiest fittings and log what you find.
Leaks through tray and wet-floor joints can go unseen until a ceiling marks below. At that stage, boards or ceilings may need repair so failed joints are worth acting on quickly.
On site: what to expect
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, and the work usually takes between a morning and a week or so, set by the number of rooms and the phasing you need. Where we can, we combine work around Glengarnock with other jobs nearby. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- We survey each room, count the joints and note anything behind them that needs another trade.
- A phasing plan keeps part of the building’s facilities in use at all times.
- Failed silicone is removed completely and the surfaces cleaned of every trace.
- We clean and dry every surface so the new sealant can grip.
- A bead of anti-mould sanitary silicone goes in and is tooled to a smooth, cleanable profile.
- You get a reopening time for every room, with signage left up until then.
What we need from you
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need

Advice
How the job changes by surface
Urinals and WC pans
Pan and urinal joints face constant cleaning and splashing. Stained or split joints here trap smells and look unhygienic.
Changing rooms and gyms
Gym and leisure changing rooms see showers running most of the day, so mould is a constant battle. We use anti-mould sanitary silicone throughout.
Why it’s worth doing now in Glengarnock
A failed joint behind a basin or along a shower tray lets water run where it shouldn’t. In a commercial building that can mean damaged boards, stained ceilings on the floor below and odours, and fixing that takes far more work than resealing. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, and for a smaller place like Glengarnock, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
