Quoting for work in Bathgate
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- The size and state of each joint
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- The site’s rules and procedures
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote.
Sending details for a quote
We can often quote from photos and a few details. It helps to include:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- The type of building and who uses it
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.
Washroom sealing in Bathgate, 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. Site teams most often ask us about black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift and discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans, on vanity units and basins, urinals and WCs and accessible toilets and changing rooms. For commercial sealant work in Bathgate, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Council, housing association and care buildings in towns like Bathgate often need washroom work planned around residents and staff. Rooms are tackled in small batches, at times agreed with the manager.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

When it isn’t the sealant
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Mould caused by poor ventilation, which will return until the extract is fixed
- Vanity carcasses that have swollen
- Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- Kitchens and tea points
- Urinals and WCs
- Vanity units and basins
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- IPS panels and cubicles
Common questions from Bathgate clients
Must every washroom in our Bathgate building shut while you work?
Not all at once. We take one block of facilities at a time. Each area is handed back once the sealant has cured enough to use.
Must a hotel around Bathgate close while you work?
In most cases no closure is needed: we work room by room or floor by floor. We agree the order of rooms and the timings with you before we start.
Which silicone is right for commercial washrooms?
Each area gets the grade that suits it. Washrooms and showers take anti-mould sanitary silicone while kitchens may need a food-safe grade.
How do we ask for a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
What will the job cost?
That depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a quote.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, and you deal with one contact throughout.
How a job runs
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. For a unit on an estate in Bathgate, tell us about yard access and site rules. Town-centre premises may need parking planned.
- We inspect each washroom and record the joints to be resealed.
- The fixed quote sets out the rooms, the products and the phasing.
- Old sealant is removed completely and the faces cleaned.
- Each joint is cleaned and left dry.
- New anti-mould sealant goes in and is tooled neat.
- Rooms reopen after the cure time.
Getting the site ready
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
Quotes
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.

After the work
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Squeegee showers and trays after busy periods
- Clean sealant with gentle products and a soft cloth
- Tell us about infection-control or permit rules before we quote
- Act on the first split you see at a shower tray
Ventilation is half the battle. Constant damp lets mould take hold even on anti-mould grades so report fans that aren’t working to your building services team.
In food areas, cleanability is something environmental health officers look at. Failed sealant around sinks and worktops is easy to put right in good time.
Surface by surface
IPS and cubicle panels
IPS panels and cubicle systems have joints at the wall, the floor and the worktop. Those joints protect the boards behind from water.
Basins and vanity tops
Water getting past a vanity top joint can swell the board beneath. Prompt resealing keeps the unit sound.

- Sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling
- Stained sealant around pans and urinals
- Shower tray joints that have opened up
Welfare facilities in units on estates such as Whiteside Industrial Estate, 0.8 miles to the south-west of Bathgate, have showers, toilets and kitchens with sealant that works hard.
Questions to ask before you book
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
