How we handle washroom sealing in Achintee
Facilities managers, contractors and building owners have used us for washroom sealing for over 20 years. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with CSCS-carded applicators. There is public liability insurance behind every job. Every resealed washroom carries our 12-month guarantee. If you have shower tray joints that have opened up and gaps where vanity tops meet the wall, we can put it right, on accessible toilets and changing rooms, urinals and WCs and IPS panels and cubicles alike. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Achintee, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Hospitality around smaller Scottish places like Achintee tends to be seasonal, so washroom work is often best planned for quieter months.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Wet areas in Achintee’s workplaces
Achintee is within about 1 mile of the coast, and coastal places often have hotels, guest houses and holiday accommodation with busy seasons. Washrooms used guest after guest wear their sanitary silicone faster, so resealing in the quieter months keeps rooms ready. Achintee is on Scotland’s wetter western side. Washrooms with weak extraction stay damp in this climate, and mould finds the silicone first.
For a hotel such as Strathcarron Hotel, which lies north of Achintee, resealing en suites a few rooms at a time keeps the rest available.
Achintee is in Highland. We send applicators to Achintee for washrooms and wet areas. Our Highland coverage takes in 256 places, large and small.
Anyone looking for washroom sealing in IV54 gets the same process as the rest of our area: details, then a fixed price, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Just outside Achintee, we also work in Srath Carran (1 mile north), Lochcarron (2 miles south-west), Balnacra (4 miles north-east), Strome Ferry (6 miles south-west) and Torridon (9 miles north). Remote and island addresses take more planning, from travel and ferries to the weather, so give the site location in your enquiry.

Questions we are asked in Achintee
Is Achintee too far out for you?
No. Places such as Achintee are covered as much as the big towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
What site paperwork comes with a job in Achintee?
Whatever your site asks for, from RAMS to CSCS details, is confirmed when we quote. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with £5m public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators.
Can you clean the mould off instead of resealing?
Not for long. Mould grows into the sealant itself, so it comes back however often it’s cleaned. Replacement is the lasting fix.
How do we ask for a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Can you reseal washrooms in healthcare buildings?
Yes, healthcare and care settings are part of our work. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote before we start.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, let us know and we’ll send them with the quote.
Common problems we fix in Achintee
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.
Look out for the following:
- Gaps where vanity tops meet the wall
- Discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans
- Panel joints letting water behind
- Shower tray joints that have opened up
Pupil toilets at schools like Kirkton in Meikle Strath School take heavy daily use, and the holidays give the window to reseal.

Advice
Building owners, agents and FMs in Achintee
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Different surfaces, different methods
Wet-room floors and floor-to-wall joints
We seal the visible joints; we don’t install or repair waterproofing below, and we’ll say if the trouble looks to be beneath the floor.
Urinals and WC pans
Pan and urinal joints face constant cleaning and splashing. Once they discolour or split, they hold odours and look unhygienic.
Quoting for work in Achintee
To price the job, we consider:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Phasing around occupants
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Sending details for a quote
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- Access details, including height
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Your programme or deadline
For a fixed quote, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over. Our quote form is another easy route.
Honest limits
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Water from plumbing, not from a joint
- Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint
- Hollow tiles or loose panels behind the joint
If you’re not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
