What sets the cost
To price the job, we consider:
- Any access equipment needed
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Removal of failed or old sealant
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a quote once you have the details.

There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:

- Your programme or deadline
- Clear photographs of the problem areas

How we handle washroom sealing in Pitkerro
In healthcare and care settings, sealing is part of keeping surfaces cleanable. Your estates and infection-control requirements, and any permits the site uses, shape how we work. Any records you need are confirmed with the quote. The enquiries we see most involve split or peeling sealant at shower trays and sealant stained black around basins and showers, on accessible toilets and changing rooms, IPS panels and cubicles and showers, trays and wet room floors. Most enquiries from Pitkerro start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Scottish city buildings, from student residences to hospitals and offices, are full of washrooms and wet areas. We reseal them in phases, agreed with the estates or facilities team.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in Pitkerro as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

General trades versus a specialist
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Sanitary sealant for Pitkerro buildings
Pitkerro sits close to the coast, within about 2 miles, and seaside hospitality typically has a peak season that works washrooms hard. Bathrooms turned round daily in the busy months need sound, cleanable joints, so we plan the work for quieter weeks where possible. Four care or nursing homes sit less than 2 miles from Pitkerro. Assisted bathrooms and wet rooms in care settings need sanitary sealant that stays cleanable. We plan the work with the manager so residents are disturbed as little as possible.
At a retail site such as Happyhillock Shopping Centre, under half a mile to the east of Pitkerro, public and staff toilets see heavy use, so mouldy or split sealant is best replaced in phases. Hotels such as Dundee Carlton Hotel (1 mile south of Pitkerro) have en suite bathrooms where tired silicone at the bath, tray and basin is replaced room by room.
Pitkerro is about 2 miles east of Dundee, in Dundee. Across the DD4 postcode area, the process is the same: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Across Dundee, 28 places are covered, Pitkerro among them.
Anyone looking for washroom sealing in DD4 gets the same process as the rest of our area: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. If your site is on Fintry Road, Rennell Road and Midmill Road or close by, send details and we’ll quote for washrooms and wet areas.

Your questions answered
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Kings Cross Hospital, something you do?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Can work at a site such as Abertay University fit around teaching?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
What do you charge?
We don’t publish prices, because every site is different. Send photos or drawings and we will price it at a fixed figure.
How many days will you need on site?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
Can you clean the mould off instead of resealing?
Cleaning may lighten it, but the mould returns. New anti-mould sanitary silicone is the treatment and point out if ventilation is part of the problem.
Will you quote for a small job?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Send details for a fixed quote.
Common problems we fix in Pitkerro
Panels and vanity units move slightly in use, and shower trays shift under foot. If the joint wasn’t laid to take that movement, it tears or peels away.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Failed joints along IPS and cubicle panels
- Open joints along basins and vanity units
- Sealant stained black around basins and showers
- Washrooms that look worn because of the sealant
For a college such as Dundee and Angus College - Gardyne Campus, 1.1 miles to the south-east of Pitkerro, half-term and summer give the windows for washroom work.
What your quote should include
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- How joint depth will be controlled
Looking after the joints
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Mention any site permits or estates rules at quote stage
- Respect the cure time before reopening each room
- Make sure washroom ventilation is running
- Photograph and log failed joints across the estate
If a joint we sealed fails within 12 months, tell us and we’ll look at it. After that, a routine look catches failing joints early.
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 reseal when you first spot a split.

What happens if it’s left?
Gaps and mould in joints give dirt and bacteria somewhere to sit which matters most in healthcare, food and education settings. A smooth, sealed joint can be cleaned properly. Failed sealant in a shared building in Pitkerro can affect more than one owner. Fixing it promptly keeps repairs small.
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote.
