Leave it or put it right?
Bleaching black sealant may lighten it for a few days but the growth is inside the bead and returns. A full reseal deals with it and your cleaning team stops chasing it. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Boarhills. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
What you get with us
- Health and safety: CHAS accredited
- A range of standard colours, depending on the product

About our washroom sealing in Boarhills
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. We work on IPS panels and cubicles, showers, trays and wet room floors and urinals and WCs, and what we’re called in for most is failed sealant behind washroom basins and resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Boarhills tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
In smaller Scottish places like Boarhills, commercial washrooms are typically in hotels, pubs, schools, care homes and community halls. Mould grows into sealant in any wet room that doesn’t dry out, and the answer is removal and a fresh bead of anti-mould silicone.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Cost factors for washrooms and wet areas
What shapes the price:
- The total length or number of joints
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Removal of failed or old sealant
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
Details that help us quote
We can often quote from photos and a few details. It helps to include:
- Your programme or deadline
- Access details, including height
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
The quickest route to a quote is a few photos and the site postcode. Send them through the quote form, or phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over if you’d rather talk the job through.
Keeping the joints sound
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Clear standing water from shower floors where possible
- Don’t leave an open joint at a basin or tray
- Make sure washroom ventilation is running
- Keep washrooms out of use until we say the sealant has cured
We hand each area back once the silicone has had the cure time the product needs. We will tell you when the wet areas can be used and signage stays in place until that time.
Mouldy sealant only gets harder to ignore, and complaints follow. Dealing with it while it’s just the sealant keeps it simple.
Common problems we fix in Boarhills
A lot of failed washroom sealant was laid over an old bead or a dirty surface. New silicone won’t grip the old so it peels away quickly.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms
- A new bead over an old one coming away
- Failed sealant behind washroom basins
- Black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift
For a site such as St Andrews Community Hospital, 3.9 miles to the west of Boarhills, sanitary joints in clinical areas need sound, cleanable sealant and a careful method.
Before you book anyone
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
Diagnose, treat, sign off
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Jobs near Boarhills are often grouped with others in the same area. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- We agree which washrooms close and when.
- Leaks, loose panels or damp are pointed out first.
- Old sealant is stripped and the faces prepared.
- The right sanitary or food-safe sealant is applied.
- We confirm reopening times for each washroom.
What we need from you
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

Washroom sealing in Boarhills: the local picture
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Boarhills, and places by the sea often rely on visitors, so their hotels and holiday lets see heavy seasonal use. Heavy seasonal use is hard on shower and basin sealant, which is why off-season resealing makes sense. The east of Scotland, where Boarhills is, gets less rain than the west. Mould in sanitary sealant comes down to ventilation and use more than the weather outside.
For a campus such as University of St Andrews, 4.1 miles to the west of Boarhills, showers in residences and washrooms in teaching blocks can be programmed around term dates. Where you’re responsible for a hall attached to a building such as Boarhills Parish Church And Churchyard, its kitchen and toilets need sealant that stays cleanable.
Boarhills is about 13 miles south-east of Broughty Ferry, in Fife. Our applicators travel to Boarhills for work on washrooms and wet areas, handled exactly as we handle every other area. Boarhills is one of 132 places we cover in Fife. Sites around Dundee have their own page, about 15 miles away.

General trades versus a specialist
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Boarhills: questions and answers
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as University of St Andrews?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like St Andrews Community Hospital, something you do?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so we will ask for the register before work on an older building. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, which many sites require.
Do you phase washroom resealing?
Only the area we are working in is closed. Each room reopens after the sealant’s cure time, then we move on.
What guarantee comes with washroom resealing?
A 12-month guarantee covers the work. It covers our workmanship rather than damage, leaks from plumbing or ventilation problems.
