How a job runs

Where we can, we combine work around Tarbet with other jobs nearby, to make the most of each trip. Tell us how flexible your dates are.

Advice
Washroom sealing in Tarbet
Black spotting along a sealant bead is not a cleaning problem. The mould has rooted into the silicone itself so it returns whatever the cleaning regime. Only replacement gets rid of it for good. If you have stained sealant around pans and urinals and washrooms that look worn because of the sealant, we can put it right. Most enquiries from Tarbet 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.
For washroom work around Tarbet, we plan so every room on the list is done in one trip where possible. Send photographs and a room list and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

General trades versus a specialist
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.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Washroom sealing around Tarbet: what changes locally
The sea is no more than about 2 miles from Tarbet, and places by the sea often rely on visitors, so their hotels and holiday lets see heavy seasonal use. Washrooms used guest after guest wear their sanitary silicone faster, so we plan the work for quieter weeks where possible. There are a number of hotels within about 2 miles of Tarbet. En suite bathrooms, staff changing rooms and kitchens all need their sanitary silicone renewed in time. The work can go floor by floor, agreed with housekeeping.
En suites at hotels like Tarbet Hotel, less than half a mile east of Tarbet, are cleaned daily, which wears silicone over time.

Questions we’re asked in Tarbet
Will our hotel in Tarbet need to close for the work?
In most cases no closure is needed: we work room by room or floor by floor. Housekeeping and our team agree each day’s rooms.
Is Tarbet too far out for you?
Not at all. Tarbet is within our area. We work across every Scottish council area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, as many construction sites ask for.
How much does the work cost?
We don’t publish prices, because every site is different. Send photographs or drawings and we will price it at a fixed figure.
Can you send site paperwork?
Requirements differ from site to site, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
What sealant work can’t fix
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Mould caused by poor ventilation, which will return until the extract is fixed
- Vanity carcasses that have swollen
- Hollow tiles or loose panels behind the joint
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Kitchens and tea points
- Urinals and WCs
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- Vanity units and basins
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
Signs you need washroom sealing in Tarbet
Warmth, moisture and soap residue are exactly what mould needs, and silicone joints hold onto all three. Even anti-mould grades can be colonised over time where extraction is poor.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen
- Users noticing mouldy joints
- Resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed
- Open joints at the base of cubicle panels
Church halls and community buildings, such as those at Ballyhennan Church, have kitchens and toilets used by many groups, and their sanitary sealant works hard.
Questions to ask before you book
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
Owners, agents and contractors
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. We’re fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
After the work
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Mention any site permits or estates rules at quote stage
- Clear standing water from shower floors where possible
- Keep extract fans working and vents clear
- Keep a record of which washrooms need attention
We hand each area back once the silicone has had the cure time the product needs. You’ll be told when showers and basins can be used again, and it helps if signs stay up until then.
Water getting behind IPS panels and vanity units can swell the boards. After that, those parts need replacing rather than resealing.
