Washroom sealing in Lochee, done properly
We reseal washrooms and wet areas in offices, hotels, schools, universities, gyms, healthcare buildings and care homes, plus the kitchens and tea points that go with them. Product and method follow how hard each area is used and cleaned. If you have stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops and split or peeling sealant at shower trays, we can put it right. Searching for sealant specialists in Lochee? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Hospitality businesses in Scotland’s cities rely on washrooms and kitchens that look right and clean easily. Washrooms get anti-mould sanitary silicone and kitchens hygienic sealant, food-safe where needed.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Busy facilities in and around Lochee
With the shore within about 2 miles, Lochee counts as a coastal location, and seaside hospitality typically has a peak season that works washrooms hard. Showers and en suites in constant use are where silicone moulds and splits first, so we plan the work for quieter weeks where possible. There are plenty of hotels within about 2 miles of Lochee. Behind every hotel door there’s a bathroom whose sealant will need renewing sooner or later.
Welfare facilities in units on estates such as Ardyle Industrial Estate (under half a mile west of Lochee) have showers, toilets and kitchens with sealant that works hard. Toilets at colleges like Dundee and Angus College - Kingsway Campus, 1.5 miles north-east of Lochee, take heavy use from students and staff alike.

When to call us in Lochee
Cubicle panels, IPS panels and vanity units flex when people lean on them or doors are slammed, and shower trays shift under foot. A bead that can’t cope with the movement splits along one edge.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed
- Mould spotting along silicone joints
- Stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops
- Failed sealant behind washroom basins
Clinical washrooms at sites like Royal Victoria Hospital (0.8 miles south of Lochee) are scheduled with the ward so the room is out of use for as little time as possible.

How the job changes by surface
Healthcare and care settings
Healthcare work is phased so wards, clinics or residents’ areas keep their facilities. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Basins and vanity tops
Basin joints get wet every time someone washes their hands, so the joint to the wall and around each bowl fails early. We remove the old bead and lay a fresh one of sanitary silicone.

Aftercare for building managers
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Add sealant joints to planned maintenance checks
- Share your site rules when you send details
- Make sure washroom ventilation is running
- Respect the cure time before reopening each room
Keep extract fans working and vents clear. Constant damp lets mould take hold even on anti-mould grades, so get faulty extract looked at.
A few failed joints can be resealed with hardly any disruption. Left, it tends to become a building-wide job with more phasing to plan.
Honest limits
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Leaking pipes, traps, wastes or cisterns, which need a plumber
- Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint
- Fittings that move too much to hold a bead
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Questions about Lochee
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Royal Victoria Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Will you work in a care home in Lochee without moving residents out?
Yes. We work around residents’ routines, a room or two at a time. Any site rules, from signing in to infection control, are agreed before we start.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to.
When can the area be used after sealing?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photographs, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
Is it OK to put new silicone on top of the old?
We always remove it. Fresh silicone can’t key to an old bead, so sealing over it soon peels.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Diagnose, treat, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. University, hospital and office estates in Scotland’s cities have their own permits, inductions and sign-in rules. Pass on the site’s contractor rules when you get in touch.
- We start by inspecting the fittings and joints and flagging problems sealant can’t solve.
- The phasing is agreed so there are always facilities open.
- Failed silicone is removed completely and the surfaces cleaned of every trace.
- Each joint is degreased and left dry, because silicone won’t bond to damp or soapy surfaces.
- We lay a sanitary silicone bead and tool it smooth so it is easy to clean.
- Rooms reopen after the product’s cure time, and we move to the next.
Preparing the site
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
