Washroom sealing near Athelstaneford
Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.
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 which costs more to fix than a reseal. For buildings near Athelstaneford, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
Why appoint us
- Failed material removed, not covered up
- Work to your specification and the manufacturer’s guidance
- One number for every site we cover
- Workmanship guaranteed for 12 months

Washroom sealing for commercial buildings in Athelstaneford
Washroom joints need the right sealant, not whatever is to hand. Sanitary grades carry anti-mould additives, and neutral-cure types are used where acetoxy silicone could attack some metals, stone or mirror backings. In food areas, hygienic or food-safe sealants are used where food contact is possible. Most enquiries involve gaps where vanity tops meet the wall and split or peeling sealant at shower trays, across urinals and WCs, accessible toilets and changing rooms and vanity units and basins. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Athelstaneford tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Travel to smaller places like Athelstaneford is planned so the work is finished on one visit. Send photos and a room list and we’ll give a fixed quote.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

What we can’t put right
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Failed tanking beneath a wet-room floor or behind tiles
- Swollen or delaminated boards behind panels or vanity tops
- Mould caused by poor ventilation, which will return until the extract is fixed
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Vanity units and basins
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Urinals and WCs
- Kitchens and tea points
FAQs: Athelstaneford
Can you work on a hospital site such as East Lothian Community Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Is Athelstaneford too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do you take on small jobs?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Which sealant will you use?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Will all the toilets be closed at once?
Just the room being resealed is out of use. Each room reopens after the sealant’s cure time, then we move on.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm them with the quote.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to.
Our process
Before we leave any area, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. For a building near Athelstaneford, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- Every room is surveyed and the failed joints listed.
- You get a fixed quote with the phasing plan.
- The whole of the old bead is removed.
- Joints are degreased and dried.
- A sanitary silicone bead is laid and given a smooth tooled finish.
- Each area is handed back when ready.
Preparing the site
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
Getting a fixed quote
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
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.
Maintenance after handover
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Act on the first split you see at a shower tray
- Note failing joints building by building
- Add sealant joints to planned maintenance checks
- Mention any site permits or estates rules at quote stage
Where possible, have shower floors and trays squeegeed after busy periods. Joints that sit wet for hours fail sooner.
A few failed joints can be resealed with hardly any disruption. Left until every washroom is affected, it becomes a bigger programme and more closures to manage.
Owners, agents and contractors
Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them with the quote.
