Leave it or put it right?
Sealing on top of old silicone saves nothing. Silicone won’t grip silicone, so it lifts and holds moisture underneath. Cutting out completely and cleaning back takes a little longer and lasts. Around smaller places like Murthly, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Early resealing prevents it.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.

Washroom sealing in Murthly, done properly
Accessible WCs, showers and changing areas have their own pinch points: wet-floor edges, tray perimeters, basin tops and the line where flooring meets the wall. An open joint there lets water track under flooring or behind wall panels, so we look at them closely. Site teams most often ask us about panel joints letting water behind and a new bead over an old one coming away, on kitchens and tea points, IPS panels and cubicles and vanity units and basins. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Murthly is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Hotels and holiday accommodation in rural Scotland have busy and quiet seasons, and resealing washrooms in the quieter months keeps rooms available when they’re needed.
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.

What affects the price in Murthly
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It allows for:
- Any access equipment needed
- Location, for remote and island sites
- The product specified
- The size and state of each joint
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Sending details for a quote
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Your programme or deadline
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- The postcode of the building
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over with what you know.
Looking after the joints
For the best life from the joints:
- Note failing joints building by building
- Report split joints at trays and basins early
- Avoid scourers and harsh descalers on silicone
- Mention any site permits or estates rules at quote stage
Ventilation is half the battle. A room that stays damp will grow mould on almost anything so report fans that aren’t working to your building services team.
Small numbers of failed joints are quick to phase in. Left, it tends to become a building-wide job and more closures to manage.
Signs you need washroom sealing in Murthly
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.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift
- A new bead over an old one coming away
- Stained sealant around pans and urinals
- Stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops
At a hospital like Blairgowrie Community Hospital, which lies north-east of Murthly, patient and staff washrooms are best done in short phases agreed with the ward.
What to look for in a quote
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
Diagnose, treat, sign off
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. For work around Murthly, we aim for one trip, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- First, the phasing is agreed so facilities stay open.
- Leaks, loose panels or damp are pointed out first.
- Failed sealant and residue are stripped out.
- The right sanitary or food-safe sealant is applied.
- We give you a reopening time for every room.
What we need from you
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Agree which areas must stay open

Advice
Your questions answered
Is Murthly too far out for you?
No. Places such as Murthly are covered as much as the big towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Must every washroom in our Murthly building shut while you work?
Rarely all at once: work is phased so some facilities are always available. Sanitary silicone needs time to cure before the area is used, and we’ll tell you how long for the product used.
Do you use special sealant for toilets and showers?
Each area gets the grade that suits it. Washrooms and showers take anti-mould sanitary silicone, and food areas take a hygienic, food-safe sealant where food contact is possible.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
Can you handle several sites?
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.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Doing it in-house
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
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. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Washroom sealing around Murthly: how the place shapes the job
Being in the east of Scotland, Murthly gets less rain than the west coast. Inside, ventilation and use decide how fast washroom sealant moulds, whatever the weather.
Where you’re responsible for a hall attached to a building such as United Presbyterian Church, its kitchen and toilets need sealant that stays cleanable.
