Washroom sealing for Barnhill sites
Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What sets the cost
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- The site’s rules and procedures
- How much there is to seal
- Whether the work must be split into stages
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
Before you send an enquiry
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. Please tell us:
- The postcode of the building
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The type of building and who uses it
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
Washroom sealing in Barnhill, done properly
Accessible toilets, shower rooms and changing rooms have joints that work harder than most: wet-floor edges, tray perimeters, basin tops and the line where flooring meets the wall. An open joint there lets water track under flooring or behind wall panels so they get particular attention. We work on vanity units and basins, IPS panels and cubicles and showers, trays and wet room floors, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling and complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Barnhill is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Shops and offices at the foot of tenement blocks in Scottish cities often have compact staff washrooms and tea points. Small rooms that don’t dry out are where mould gets into sealant first, so it’s worth resealing before it spreads.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

Your questions answered
Is a hospital such as Ashludie Hospital somewhere you can work?
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.
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as Abertay University?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
When is resealing likely to be due?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Is there a guarantee on the work?
Our workmanship has a 12-month guarantee, and we carry public liability insurance.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Toilets, showers and kitchens around Barnhill
Barnhill is within about 1 mile of the coast, and coastal places often have hotels, guest houses and holiday accommodation with busy seasons. Showers and en suites in constant use are where silicone moulds and splits first, which is why off-season resealing makes sense. The east of Scotland, where Barnhill is, gets less rain than the west. Even so, a washroom that doesn’t dry out between uses will see mould get into its sealant.
On an industrial estate such as West Pitkerro Industrial Estate (1.3 miles north-west of Barnhill), staff toilets, showers and canteens are where sanitary sealant takes the most wear. On a healthcare site such as Ashludie Hospital (1.6 miles north-east of Barnhill), washroom work starts with the infection-control team’s sign-off.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Give us the access times and building rules for your premises in Barnhill, so the work can be phased and areas kept in use.
- We start by inspecting the fittings and joints and flagging problems sealant can’t solve.
- A phasing plan keeps part of the building’s facilities in use at all times.
- 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.
- A bead of anti-mould sanitary silicone goes in and is tooled to a smooth, cleanable profile.
- Each room is handed back once the sealant has had its cure time.
What we need from you
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
Getting a fixed quote
Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
Advice
What the job involves on each surface
Healthcare and care settings
Clinics, hospitals and care homes need joints that can be kept clean. We work to your estates and infection-control requirements and any permits the site uses.
Urinals and WC pans
Urinal backs, troughs and slab joints are resealed with sanitary silicone after the old bead and residue are removed.
Honest limits
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Water from plumbing, not from a joint
- Swollen or delaminated boards behind panels or vanity tops
- Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint

Why deal with it now?
Gaps and mould in joints give dirt and bacteria somewhere to sit which matters most in healthcare, food and education settings. A smooth, sealed joint can be cleaned properly. In a Scottish city, access often needs scaffold, permits or factor approval, so deal with all failing joints while access is up.
A quote for washrooms and wet areas depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you are working to. Ask us for a fixed quote.

Common problems we fix in Barnhill
We often find acrylic caulk or general-purpose sealant in joints that should have sanitary silicone. They don’t stand up to constant water, and they stain, crack or wash out.
Clients normally get in touch after noticing something like this:
- Complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms
- Sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling
- Kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean
- Open joints at the base of cubicle panels
At a college such as Dundee and Angus College - Gardyne Campus, 2.2 miles west of Barnhill, washroom and kitchen sealant is best renewed in the holidays or in phases during term.
