Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Maintenance after handover
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Note failing joints building by building
- Tell us about infection-control or permit rules before we quote
- Include joints in routine washroom inspections
- Report split joints at trays and basins early
Add washroom sealant to routine inspections. Look for black spotting, cracks, peeling edges and gaps at the busiest fittings and photograph anything new.
Inspectors look at whether kitchen surfaces can be kept clean. Failed sealant around sinks and worktops is easy to put right in good time.
About our washroom sealing in Monifieth
Not every silicone belongs in a washroom. Sanitary silicone contains additives that resist mould, and neutral-cure versions avoid the damage acetoxy types can do to some metals, stone and mirror backings. In food areas, hygienic or food-safe sealants are used where food contact is possible. We work on kitchens and tea points, urinals and WCs and vanity units and basins, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are washrooms that look worn because of the sealant and urinal joints that look unhygienic. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Monifieth it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Hospitality around smaller Scottish places like Monifieth tends to be seasonal, so washroom work is often best planned for quieter months.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

FAQs: Monifieth
Is Monifieth too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Ashludie Hospital, something you do?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, which many sites require.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
What affects the price in Monifieth
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Any access equipment needed
- How much existing material needs removing
- Phasing around occupants
- The product specified
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
What to include in your enquiry
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- Any specification or named product
- Access details, including height
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Your programme or deadline
The quickest route to a quote is a few photographs and the site postcode. Upload them with the quote form, or ring 01277 525 020 or email us to discuss it first.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
From enquiry to sign-off
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. For work around Monifieth, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- Every room is surveyed and the failed joints listed.
- You get a fixed quote with the phasing plan.
- The whole of the old bead is removed.
- Each joint is cleaned and left dry.
- New anti-mould sealant goes in and is tooled neat.
- Rooms reopen after the cure time.
Before we start on site

Advice
Surface by surface
IPS and cubicle panels
Panels flex slightly in use so the bead needs to cope with it. Loose panels are flagged before any sealant goes on.
Changing rooms and gyms
Shower areas, wet floor edges and vanity areas all have sealant joints and we look at them as one job.
Sanitary sealant for Monifieth buildings
Monifieth sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile, and places by the sea often rely on visitors, so their hotels and holiday lets see heavy seasonal use. Bathrooms turned round daily in the busy months need sound, cleanable joints, and the quieter months are the natural time to reseal. Monifieth is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Drier weather outside doesn’t help a washroom with poor extraction, where mould gets into silicone fast.
On an industrial estate such as West Pitkerro Industrial Estate, 2.2 miles west of Monifieth, staff toilets, showers and canteens are where sanitary sealant takes the most wear. Staff changing rooms and patient toilets at places like Ashludie Hospital, under half a mile to the north-east of Monifieth, need cleanable, sound silicone.

When to call us in Monifieth
Decorators’ caulk and general sealants sometimes end up where sanitary silicone belongs. They don’t stand up to constant water, and they stain, crack or wash out.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Washrooms that look worn because of the sealant
- A new bead over an old one coming away
- Failed joints along IPS and cubicle panels
- Open joints along basins and vanity units
At a school such as Grange Primary School, changing rooms and kitchens need cleanable joints as much as the toilets.
