Our washroom sealing service in East Lothian
In a busy washroom, the sealant usually gives up long before the tiles or fittings. Around basins, urinals, cubicles, IPS panels and shower trays it takes water, soap, cleaning chemicals and knocks every day and mould that roots into it can’t be cleaned away. We strip it out and lay new anti-mould sanitary silicone. We work on urinals and WCs, vanity units and basins and showers, trays and wet room floors, and the failures we are asked to look at most are sealant lifting along a tray edge and resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed.
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked, ready for your sign-off. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out.
- Every room is surveyed and the failed joints listed.
- You get a fixed quote with the phasing plan.
- Old sealant is removed completely and the faces cleaned.
- Each joint is cleaned and left dry.
- New anti-mould sealant goes in and is tooled neat.
- Each area is handed back when ready.

Commercial washrooms across East Lothian
Schools, colleges and healthcare sites across East Lothian each have their own timing and rules. Let us know the building’s hours and rules and we’ll set the plan around them.
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004, with building warrants from the local authority verifier. Our part is sealing to the specification, whatever the building. Parts of East Lothian lie on or near the coast, where wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. We take that exposure into account when choosing the product.
Musselburgh: Halls of residence and teaching buildings at universities such as Queen Margaret University (1 mile south-west of Musselburgh) are easiest to reseal during vacations. En suites at hotels like Musselburgh Arms Hotel (to the north-east of Musselburgh) are cleaned daily, which wears silicone over time.
Common problems we fix in East Lothian
Cubicle panels, IPS panels and vanity units flex when people lean on them or doors are slammed, and shower trays shift under foot. If the joint wasn’t laid to take that movement, it tears or peels away.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Gaps where vanity tops meet the wall
- Urinal joints that look unhygienic
- Kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean
- Split or peeling sealant at shower trays
Aftercare for building managers
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Avoid scourers and harsh descalers on silicone
- Note failing joints building by building
- Report split joints at trays and basins early
- Squeegee showers and trays after busy periods
Squeegeeing showers and trays after heavy use helps. Joints that sit wet for hours fail sooner.
Boards behind panels and vanity tops can swell when water gets past a failed joint. Once that happens, a reseal won’t fix them.
Different surfaces, different methods
Healthcare and care settings
Accessible and assisted washrooms are used and cleaned intensively, so their joints often need renewing sooner.
Wet-room floors and floor-to-wall joints
We seal the visible joints; we don’t install or repair waterproofing below and point it out if water appears to rise from below.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
What happens if it’s left?
A failed joint behind a basin or along a shower tray lets water run where it shouldn’t. That can lead to swollen boards, marked ceilings below and lingering smells, and fixing that takes far more work than resealing.
What your quote should include
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
FAQs: East Lothian
What guarantee comes with washroom resealing?
Every job carries our 12-month guarantee. It covers our workmanship rather than damage, leaks from plumbing or ventilation problems.
Can you send site paperwork?
Requirements differ from site to site, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
How do I request a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.
Is any job too small?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it.
Is it possible to just clean mouldy silicone?
Cleaning may lighten it, but the mould returns. New anti-mould sanitary silicone is the treatment and check the ventilation isn’t the cause.
