About our washroom sealing in Whitecraig
Our washroom work covers offices, hotels, schools and colleges, leisure centres and gyms, clinics and care homes, plus the kitchens and tea points that go with them. The products and the method are chosen for how heavily each space is used. We work on accessible toilets and changing rooms, vanity units and basins and showers, trays and wet room floors, and what we’re called in for most is sealant lifting along a tray edge and mould spotting along silicone joints. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Whitecraig from the first photographs to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
Hotels and holiday accommodation in rural Scotland have busy and quiet seasons, so washroom work is often best planned for quieter months.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application.

Maintenance after handover
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Avoid scourers and harsh descalers on silicone
- Mention any site permits or estates rules at quote stage
- Report faulty extraction promptly
- Don’t leave trays and floors sitting wet
Each room goes back into use only when the sealant has cured enough. 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.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Whitecraig. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- First, the phasing is agreed so facilities stay open.
- Anything behind the joints that needs another trade is flagged.
- Failed sealant and residue are stripped out.
- We reseal with the grade suited to each area.
- We confirm reopening times for each washroom.
Preparing the site
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Confirm the product named in the specification

When something else is needed
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Leaking pipes, traps, wastes or cisterns, which need a plumber
- Fittings that move too much to hold a bead
- Failed tanking beneath a wet-room floor or behind tiles
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Urinals and WCs
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- Vanity units and basins
- Kitchens and tea points
- IPS panels and cubicles
What affects the price in Whitecraig
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Phasing around occupants
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Location, for remote and island sites
Pricing washrooms and wet areas depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Ask us for a fixed quote.

Busy facilities in and around Whitecraig
With the shore within about 2 miles, Whitecraig counts as a coastal location, and coastal places often have hotels, guest houses and holiday accommodation with busy seasons. 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 east of Scotland, Whitecraig gets less rain than the west coast. Drier weather outside doesn’t help a washroom with poor extraction, where mould gets into silicone fast.
For a college such as Edinburgh College - Milton Road Campus, which lies north-west of Whitecraig, half-term and summer give the windows for washroom work. Units at estates like Inveresk Mills Industrial Park, 1.4 miles to the north-west of Whitecraig, have welfare blocks whose showers and toilets see shift after shift.

What we’re called out for in Whitecraig
Commercial cleaning is harder on sealant than everyday use. Strong chemicals, scourers and jet washing roughen, discolour or lift a bead, and dirt and mould then get a foothold.
Things that usually lead to an enquiry:
- Failed joints along IPS and cubicle panels
- Kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean
- Complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms
- Urinal joints that look unhygienic
On a healthcare site such as Shawfair Park Hospital, which lies west of Whitecraig, washroom work starts with the infection-control team’s sign-off.
Questions to ask before you book
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
FAQs: Whitecraig
Does a hotel in Whitecraig need to shut while its sealant is renewed?
Almost never. The work is phased so most rooms stay available. Housekeeping and our team agree each day’s rooms.
Can work at a site such as Queen Margaret University fit around teaching?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Is any job too small?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Do you phase washroom resealing?
Just the room being resealed is out of use. Rooms go back into use once the sealant has cured, then we move on.
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 take on multi-site work?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, with one point of contact across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
