Washroom sealing in Barmulloch, done properly
We reseal washrooms and wet areas in offices, hotels, schools, universities, gyms, healthcare buildings and care homes, along with staff kitchens and tea points. The products and the method are chosen for how heavily each space is used. Most enquiries involve failed sealant behind washroom basins and black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift, across urinals and WCs, accessible toilets and changing rooms and kitchens and tea points. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Barmulloch is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Ground-floor premises below tenements in Scotland’s cities often have small staff toilets and kitchens. Compact, poorly ventilated rooms are hard on sealant, so it’s worth resealing before it spreads.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

From enquiry to sign-off
Before we leave any area, 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. University, hospital and office estates in Scotland’s cities have their own permits, inductions and sign-in rules. Tell us the rules and we’ll work to them.
- Every washroom is checked joint by joint, with loose panels, leaks or damp noted for the right trade.
- The phasing is agreed so there are always facilities open.
- The failed silicone is stripped and every face scraped clean of residue.
- Each joint is degreased and left dry, because silicone won’t bond to damp or soapy surfaces.
- We lay a sanitary silicone bead and tool it smooth so it is easy to clean.
- You get a reopening time for every room, with signage left up until then.
Before we start on site
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Send any specification or drawings in advance

FAQs: Barmulloch
Could you schedule work at a campus like University of Strathclyde for the vacation?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Stobhill Hospital, something you do?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Is Barmulloch in your area?
Yes. Sites across Barmulloch are covered, and the same phone number covers every area.
How long do sealant joints last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Can you reseal washrooms in healthcare buildings?
Yes, healthcare and care settings are part of our work. Any records you need are confirmed with the quote.
General trades versus a specialist
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
How the job changes by surface
Showers and trays
In staff, hotel and changing-room showers, the tray joint and wall corners take the hardest use. Each bead is stripped, the joint dried and new sealant laid.
Urinals and WC pans
Urinal backs, troughs and slab joints are resealed with sanitary silicone after the old bead and residue are removed.

What else we do in Barmulloch
After the work
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Keep extract fans working and vents clear
- Keep a record of which washrooms need attention
- Act on the first split you see at a shower tray
- Clear standing water from shower floors where possible
Squeegeeing showers and trays after heavy use helps. Standing water on a joint all day shortens its life.
A few failed joints can be resealed with hardly any disruption. Left until every washroom is affected, it becomes a bigger programme with more phasing to plan.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
Cost factors for washrooms and wet areas
To price the job, we consider:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- How accessible the joints are
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
Before you send an enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- Your programme or deadline
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
