Advice
Washroom sealing in Backlands, done properly
Not every silicone belongs in a washroom. Sanitary silicone contains additives that resist mould, and neutral-cure types are used where acetoxy silicone could attack some metals, stone or mirror backings. Where food contact is possible, we use a hygienic, food-safe grade. We work on IPS panels and cubicles, vanity units and basins and accessible toilets and changing rooms, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are sealant lifting along a tray edge and complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms. Most enquiries from Backlands start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
In smaller Scottish places like Backlands, commercial washrooms are typically in hotels, pubs, schools, care homes and community halls. Black sealant typically can’t be cleaned, so it is removed and replaced with anti-mould sanitary silicone.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Common problems we fix in Backlands
Washrooms are warm, damp and full of organic residue, and silicone joints hold onto all three. Even anti-mould grades can be colonised over time where extraction is poor.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- A new bead over an old one coming away
- Discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans
- Mould spotting along silicone joints
- Panel joints letting water behind
Clinical washrooms at sites like Spynie Hospital (to the south-east of Backlands) are scheduled with the ward so the room is out of use for as little time as possible.
Comparing quotes

- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
Maintenance after handover
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Tell us about infection-control or permit rules before we quote
- Note failing joints building by building
- Keep washrooms out of use until we say the sealant has cured
- Make sure washroom ventilation is running
We hand each area back once the silicone has had the cure time the product needs. We will tell you when the wet areas can be used and signage stays in place until that time.
Water getting behind IPS panels and vanity units can swell the boards. After that, those parts need replacing rather than resealing.
FAQs: Backlands
Must every washroom in our Backlands building shut while you work?
Typically only some of them, for a short time. We work in phases so other facilities stay open. Each area is handed back once the sealant has cured enough to use.
Is a smaller place like Backlands outside your area?
Not at all. Backlands is within our area. We cover the whole of Scotland. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.
Do you phase washroom resealing?
Just the room being resealed is out of use. Each room reopens after the sealant’s cure time and we start the next.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Do you work in hospitals, clinics and care homes?
Yes, healthcare and care settings are part of our work. Any records you need are confirmed with the quote.
What will the job cost?
Each job is quoted on its own details. To get one, phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
When something else is needed
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Panel boards already damaged by water
- Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint
- Loose panels, vanity units or tiles, which need fixing first
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Vanity units and basins

Why act early in Backlands
Open or mouldy joints are hard to keep hygienic, and in kitchens, clinics and schools that is a real concern. Sound, smooth joints are much easier to keep clean. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Resealing early avoids that.
Pricing washrooms and wet areas depends on quantities, condition and access. Call for a quote.

Wet areas in Backlands’s workplaces
Backlands sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile, 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, so we plan the work for quieter weeks where possible. Backlands is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Inside, ventilation and use decide how fast washroom sealant moulds, whatever the weather.
Washrooms near Backlands get the old silicone stripped out and a fresh anti-mould bead on dry joints.

When to bring in a 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.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
