A few photos and a count of fittings are enough for a quick quote and a site visit is an option.

What the job involves on each surface
Changing rooms and gyms
Showers, floor edges and vanity units in changing rooms all need sound sealant, and we survey them together.
Basins and vanity tops
A failed joint along a vanity unit lets water into the carcass. Prompt resealing keeps the unit sound.
When something else is needed
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Vanity carcasses that have swollen
- Failed tanking beneath a wet-room floor or behind tiles
- A dripping waste or valve behind a panel
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- Kitchens and tea points
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Vanity units and basins
- Urinals and WCs
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
Maintenance after handover
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Report split joints at trays and basins early
- Leave signs up until the cure time is over
- Mention any site permits or estates rules at quote stage
- Clear standing water from shower floors where possible
We hand each area back once the silicone has had the cure time the product needs. You will be told when showers and basins can be used again, and it helps if signs stay up until then.
Boards behind panels and vanity tops can swell when water gets past a failed joint. Once that happens, a reseal won’t fix them.
From enquiry to sign-off
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself typically takes between a morning and a week or so, set by the number of rooms and the phasing you need, and we clear our waste as we work. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Balfour is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- We inspect each washroom and record the joints to be resealed.
- You get a fixed quote with the phasing plan.
- The whole of the old bead is removed.
- Each joint is cleaned and left dry.
- A sanitary silicone bead is laid and given a smooth tooled finish.
- Rooms reopen after the cure time.
Before we start on site
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

Should maintenance staff do it?
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Common problems we fix in Balfour
Warmth, moisture and soap residue are exactly what mould needs, and sealant joints trap all three. Anti-mould additives help, but in a poorly ventilated room mould can still take hold eventually.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Panel joints letting water behind
- Mould spotting along silicone joints
- Split or peeling sealant at shower trays
- Complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms
Around Balfour, washroom joints are resealed by removing the old silicone completely and laying anti-mould sanitary silicone on dry surfaces.
Questions to ask before you book
- Proof of insurance
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
Questions about Balfour
Will all the washrooms in our Balfour building be closed at once?
Typically 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.
What site paperwork comes with a job in Balfour?
RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details: list what the site needs and we will confirm it with the quote. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with £5m public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators.
Do you work in Balfour?
Yes. We cover Balfour. To discuss a job, phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a visit before quoting.
Do you use special sealant for toilets and showers?
Each area gets the grade that suits it. Washrooms and showers take anti-mould sanitary silicone while kitchens may need a food-safe grade.
Is old silicone taken out first?
We strip every bit of the failed bead and wipe away the residue first. It’s the difference between a joint that lasts and one that peels.
Do you take on small jobs?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
