Washroom sealing across Midlothian: what to expect

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. The enquiries we see most involve resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed and gaps where vanity tops meet the wall, on vanity units and basins, kitchens and tea points and showers, trays and wet room floors.

When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself typically taking a few hours for one toilet block, with bigger buildings phased across a number of visits.

We agree which washrooms close and when.
Leaks, loose panels or damp are pointed out first.
Old sealant is stripped and the faces prepared.
We reseal with the grade suited to each area.
We confirm reopening times for each washroom.

What you’ll pay

Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.

Why appoint us

Joints cleaned back to sound surfaces
Coloured sealants to suit the setting, where available
Colours chosen to suit frames, cladding or finishes where possible
A fixed quote before work starts

Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.

Washrooms and wet areas in Midlothian

Across Midlothian, hospitality kitchens and toilets need sealed joints that clean easily. Sanitary and hygienic sealants go in, food-safe where food could come into contact with it.

Tenements in Scotland’s cities are often managed by property factors, with shared repairs agreed by the owners, so the factor is often the first contact for work on shared parts. Coastal places in Midlothian often have hotels, guest houses and holiday accommodation with busy seasons, which makes the quieter months a good time for sealant work.

Bonnyrigg: For a campus such as University of Edinburgh Bioquarter, which lies north of Bonnyrigg, showers in residences and washrooms in teaching blocks can be programmed around term dates. Office toilets at parks like Dalhousie Business Park (to the south-east of Bonnyrigg) take steady weekday use, and mouldy silicone soon shows.

How the job changes by surface

Showers and trays

If a tray moves too much or is cracked, it needs attention first and we flag that beforehand.

Kitchens and tea points

Kitchen joints need to be smooth and sealed so they can be cleaned properly. Food-safe sealants are used where food may touch the joint.

Why deal with it now?

Sealing on top of old silicone saves nothing. Silicone won’t grip silicone, so it lifts and holds moisture underneath. Full removal and proper cleaning is what makes the new joint last.

What your quote should include

The terms of the workmanship guarantee
Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards

Looking after the joints

Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:

Clean sealant with gentle products and a soft cloth
Add sealant joints to planned maintenance checks
Tell us about infection-control or permit rules before we quote
Squeegee showers and trays after busy periods

Ask your cleaning team to use gentle products and soft cloths on sealant. Strong acids, solvents and scourers wear the surface over time.

Inspectors look at whether kitchen surfaces can be kept clean. Resealing sinks, worktops and splashbacks before an inspection is a simple step.

When it isn’t the sealant

A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:

Leaking pipes, traps, wastes or cisterns, which need a plumber
Loose panels, vanity units or tiles, which need fixing first
Condensation from failed extract fans

When to bring in a specialist

There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.

What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.

FAQs: Midlothian

How long before the toilets can reopen?

Each sealant has a cure time before it should get wet. Phasing is planned with the cure time in mind so there are always rooms open.

How do I request a quote?

There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.

Will you quote for a small job?

Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Photos and a description are enough to start.

How long will the new sealant last?

There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.

What do you charge?

Every job gets its own fixed quote. For yours, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us with a description of the work.

Do you use special sealant for toilets and showers?

Sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives for most washroom joints. We use neutral-cure versions on stone, some metals and near mirrors.

Can you work to our specification?

Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
