Keeping the joints sound
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Don’t leave an open joint at a basin or tray
- Clean sealant with gentle products and a soft cloth
- Keep washrooms out of use until we say the sealant has cured
- Photograph and log failed joints across the estate
Ventilation is half the battle. A room that stays damp will grow mould on almost anything so report fans that aren’t working to your building services team.
Mould in a joint spreads along the bead and into nearby grout and users notice. Dealing with it while it’s just the sealant keeps it simple.
About our washroom sealing in Bonaly
Washroom joints need the right sealant, not whatever is to hand. Sanitary silicone contains additives that resist mould, and neutral-cure versions avoid the damage acetoxy types can do to some metals, stone and mirror backings. Where food contact is possible, we use a hygienic, food-safe grade. We work on IPS panels and cubicles, vanity units and basins and accessible toilets and changing rooms, and what we’re called in for most is split or peeling sealant at shower trays and urinal joints that look unhygienic. Most enquiries from Bonaly start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Hotels and holiday accommodation in rural Scotland have busy and quiet seasons, so washroom work is often best planned for quieter months.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Why it’s worth doing now in Bonaly
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 cleaners stop fighting a losing battle. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, giving water time to get in. Resealing early avoids that.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.

When something else is needed
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we are upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Condensation from failed extract fans
- Loose panels, vanity units or tiles, which need fixing first
- Panel boards already damaged by water
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will tell you honestly.

Questions we are asked in Bonaly
Is Bonaly too far out for you?
No. Places such as Bonaly are covered as much as the big towns. We work across every Scottish council area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as Edinburgh Napier University?
Yes. Education sites normally want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, and you deal with one contact throughout across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
Can washrooms stay open while you work?
Only the area we are working in is closed. Rooms go back into use once the sealant has cured, then we move on.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, let us know and we’ll send them with the quote.
Will cleaning remove black mould from sealant?
Cleaning may lighten it, but the mould returns. We replace the sealant with an anti-mould sanitary grade and check the ventilation isn’t the cause.
Is colour matching possible?
That depends on the product specified. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
How the quote is worked out
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- The total length or number of joints
- The size and state of each joint
- Access and working height
Pricing washrooms and wet areas depends on quantities, condition and access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.
Details that help us quote
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- The product your specification calls for
- The site address and postcode
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To start the process, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.

When to call us in Bonaly
Washrooms are warm, damp and full of organic residue, and sealant joints trap all three. Anti-mould additives help, but in a poorly ventilated room mould can still take hold eventually.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Sealant lifting along a tray edge
- Open joints at the base of cubicle panels
- Kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean
- Gaps where vanity tops meet the wall
Halls linked to places like Colinton Parish Church host groups all week, which is hard on kitchen and toilet sealant.

Our process
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Bonaly is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photos, sizes and a full list matter. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- Every washroom is checked joint by joint, with loose panels, leaks or damp noted for the right trade.
- A phasing plan keeps part of the building’s facilities in use at all times.
- We strip out the old bead and clean off the residue left behind.
- Joints are cleaned, degreased and dried before sealing.
- New sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives goes in and is tooled neat.
- Each room is handed back once the sealant has had its cure time.
Before we start on site
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Arrange parking or a loading space
