How we handle washroom sealing in Bieldside
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. In food areas, hygienic or food-safe sealants are used where food contact is possible. If you are dealing with sealant stained black around basins and showers and washrooms that look worn because of the sealant, we can help, on urinals and WCs, showers, trays and wet room floors and IPS panels and cubicles alike. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Bieldside first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
In Scotland’s cities, university, hospital and office estates have washrooms and wet areas in nearly every building. We reseal them in phases, agreed with the estates or facilities team.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll arrange a return visit.

Our process
We follow your site rules from the start: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact, and each area is checked before we leave it. In a Scottish city, kerbside space and loading need planning, especially near the centre. Tenement closes, shared stairs and factor approvals may also be involved.
- 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.
- We strip out the old bead and clean off the residue left behind.
- Joints are cleaned, degreased and dried before sealing.
- A bead of anti-mould sanitary silicone goes in and is tooled to a smooth, cleanable profile.
- Rooms reopen after the product’s cure time, and we move to the next.
What we need from you
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in

Should maintenance staff do it?
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Signs you need washroom sealing in Bieldside
Daily commercial cleaning wears sealant faster than people expect. Harsh products, abrasive pads and pressure washing break down a joint’s surface and edges so grime sticks to the damaged surface.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Sealant lifting along a tray edge
- Discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans
- Sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling
- Failed sealant behind washroom basins
Office toilets at parks like Prime Four Business Park, 2.6 miles north of Bieldside, take steady weekday use, and mouldy silicone soon shows.
Questions to ask before you book
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- How they’ll work around occupants
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
Aftercare for building managers
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Make sure washroom ventilation is running
- Mention any site permits or estates rules at quote stage
- Clear standing water from shower floors where possible
- Respect the cure time before reopening each room
Add washroom sealant to routine inspections. Look for black spotting, cracks, peeling edges and gaps at the busiest fittings and log what you find.
A few failed joints can be resealed with hardly any disruption. Left, it tends to become a building-wide job and more closures to manage.
What sets the cost
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Which sealant the job calls for
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.
Sending details for a quote
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- The site address and postcode

Questions we are asked in Bieldside
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Woodend Hospital, something you do?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Could you schedule work at a campus like Robert Gordon University for the vacation?
Yes. Education sites typically want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
What sealant do you use in washrooms?
It depends on the joint. Washrooms and showers take anti-mould sanitary silicone while kitchens may need a food-safe grade.
How long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit typically takes half a day to a day per washroom, depending on the number of fittings. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Can washrooms stay open while you work?
Only the area we are working in is closed. Each room reopens after the sealant’s cure time and we start the next.
Is any job too small?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Is old silicone taken out first?
We strip every bit of the failed bead and wipe away the residue before resealing. It’s the difference between a joint that lasts and one that peels.
How the job changes by surface
Changing rooms and gyms
Changing rooms can be phased so one stays open. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Kitchens and tea points
Worktop, sink and splashback joints in tea points take water and food. Sealed joints leave no gaps for food and dirt.
