General trades versus a specialist
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
About our washroom sealing in Lochgilphead
Facilities managers, contractors and building owners have used us for washroom sealing for over 20 years. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with CSCS-carded applicators. There is public liability insurance behind every job. Every resealed washroom carries our 12-month guarantee. If you have stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops and black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift, we can put it right, on kitchens and tea points, showers, trays and wet room floors and urinals and WCs alike. Most enquiries from Lochgilphead start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
In smaller Scottish places like Lochgilphead, commercial washrooms are typically in hotels, pubs, schools, care homes and community halls. Mould grows into sealant in any wet room that doesn’t dry out, and the answer is removal and a fresh bead of anti-mould silicone.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Lochgilphead: questions and answers
Do hotels near Lochgilphead have to close for sealant work?
In most cases no closure is needed: we work room by room or floor by floor. Tell us your quiet periods and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Is Lochgilphead too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Lochgilphead 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.
Can you reseal washrooms in healthcare buildings?
We do. Your infection-control rules, estates requirements and permits are followed, and phase the work so areas keep facilities.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
How do I request a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. The first step only needs photographs and a postcode.
How a job runs
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we are in, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. For a building near Lochgilphead, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- We inspect each washroom and record the joints to be resealed.
- You get a fixed quote with the phasing plan.
- The whole of the old bead is removed.
- Joints are degreased and dried.
- A sanitary silicone bead is laid and given a smooth tooled finish.
- Each area is handed back when ready.
Getting the site ready
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Let building users know which areas are affected

Advice
What we can’t put right
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Loose panels, vanity units or tiles, which need fixing first
- Panel boards already damaged by water
- A dripping waste or valve behind a panel
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- Kitchens and tea points
- Urinals and WCs
- Vanity units and basins
- IPS panels and cubicles
Quoting for work in Lochgilphead
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- How much there is to seal
- Phasing around occupants
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Before you send an enquiry
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- The site address and postcode
To get a fixed quote, call 01277 525 020 or email the details over. Our quote form is another easy route.
Keeping Lochgilphead washrooms open while we work
Lochgilphead lies within about 1 mile of the sea, and coastal hotels, guest houses and holiday sites tend to fill up in the busy months. Bathrooms turned round daily in the busy months need sound, cleanable joints, so we plan the work for quieter weeks where possible. Being in the west of Scotland, Lochgilphead gets more rain than eastern areas. Where ventilation is poor, damp washrooms here tend to see black mould in the sealant sooner.
Hotels such as Stag Hotel (under half a mile south-east of Lochgilphead) have en suite bathrooms where tired silicone at the bath, tray and basin is replaced room by room. Pupil toilets at schools like Lochgilphead High School take heavy daily use, and the holidays give the window to reseal.
Lochgilphead is about 27 miles west of Greenock, in Argyll and Bute. Any commercial site in Lochgilphead is covered. Our Argyll and Bute coverage takes in 124 places, large and small. There’s a separate page for Glasgow, roughly 47 miles from Lochgilphead.
Business premises anywhere in PA31 are within our area for washrooms and wet areas. Among the streets we cover are Oban Road, Wilson Road and Smithy Lane.

Among the larger centres in Argyll and Bute is Lochgilphead, and we take on washrooms and wet areas for its commercial and public buildings.

When to call us in Lochgilphead
A lot of failed washroom sealant was laid over an old bead or a dirty surface. Silicone won’t adhere to a silicone bead, so it soon lets go.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Open joints along basins and vanity units
- Split or peeling sealant at shower trays
- Resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed
- Washrooms that look worn because of the sealant
For a site such as The Argyll and Bute Hospital, 0.9 miles to the east of Lochgilphead, sanitary joints in clinical areas need sound, cleanable sealant and a careful method.
