How we handle washroom sealing in An Tairbeart
Closing all the facilities in a building isn’t an option. We phase the work one washroom, one bank of cubicles or one changing room at a time, so staff, guests or pupils always have somewhere to go. Give us your site hours and access windows and the phasing is planned around them. If you have a new bead over an old one coming away and washrooms that look worn because of the sealant, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Searching for sealant specialists in An Tairbeart? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
In smaller Scottish places like An Tairbeart, commercial washrooms are typically in hotels, pubs, schools, care homes and community halls. Mould grows into sealant in any wet room that doesn’t dry out, and the answer is removal and a fresh bead of anti-mould silicone.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

For managing agents and facilities managers
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. An Tairbeart can form part of a wider programme across Argyll and Bute.
Whether you’re a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
What we can’t put right
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Leaks through tanking or membranes below the finishes
- Swollen or delaminated boards behind panels or vanity tops
- A room that stays damp because ventilation isn’t working
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Where we work in An Tairbeart
- Vanity units and basins
- Urinals and WCs
- Kitchens and tea points
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
Maintenance after handover
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Keep a record of which washrooms need attention
- Keep washrooms out of use until we say the sealant has cured
- Avoid scourers and harsh descalers on silicone
- Act on the first split you see at a shower tray
Include sealant joints in your planned maintenance checks. Look for black spotting, cracks, peeling edges and gaps at the busiest fittings and log what you find.
Inspectors look at whether kitchen surfaces can be kept clean. Failed sealant around sinks and worktops is easy to put right in good time.
Commercial washrooms in An Tairbeart
An Tairbeart is within about 1 mile of the coast, and coastal hotels, guest houses and holiday sites tend to fill up in the busy months. Heavy seasonal use is hard on shower and basin sealant, and the quieter months are the natural time to reseal. The area within 2 miles of An Tairbeart holds plenty of hotels. En suite bathrooms, staff changing rooms and kitchens all need their sanitary silicone renewed in time.
Hotels such as Anchor Hotel, less than half a mile to the north-east of An Tairbeart, have en suite bathrooms where tired silicone at the bath, tray and basin is replaced room by room.

Your questions answered
Will the toilets in our An Tairbeart building be out of use?
Usually only some of them, for a short time. We work in phases so other facilities stay open. We’ll tell you the curing time for the product before we start.
Is An Tairbeart too far out for you?
Not at all. An Tairbeart is within our area. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Will all the toilets be closed at once?
We phase it so users always have somewhere to go. One washroom, one bank of cubicles or one changing room is done at a time around your site hours and access windows.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, let us know and we will send them with the quote.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
What guarantee comes with washroom resealing?
Every job carries our 12-month guarantee. It applies to our workmanship, not to plumbing leaks or damp from poor ventilation.
Our process
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. With the paperwork done, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you. Travel to smaller Scottish places like An Tairbeart is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photos, sizes and a full list matter. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- We agree which washrooms close and when.
- 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 give you a reopening time for every room.
Getting the site ready
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

What we are called out for in An Tairbeart
Commercial cleaning is harder on sealant than everyday use. Strong chemicals, scourers and jet washing roughen, discolour or lift a bead so grime sticks to the damaged surface.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Panel joints letting water behind
- Sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling
- Urinal joints that look unhygienic
- Failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen
In any commercial washroom in or near An Tairbeart, mouldy sealant is cut out rather than cleaned, and anti-mould sanitary silicone goes on clean, dry joints.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- Their public liability cover
- Who will actually carry out the work
