How we handle washroom sealing in Bonkle
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. We work on showers, trays and wet room floors, IPS panels and cubicles and vanity units and basins, and the failures we are asked to look at most are open joints at the base of cubicle panels and failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen. Whoever orders the work in Bonkle, the brief is normally the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
For washroom work around Bonkle, we plan so every room on the list is done in one trip where possible. Photos of each washroom and a count of rooms help us quote and plan.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application.

Doing it in-house
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
What happens if it’s left?
Cleaning mouldy sealant only masks it, but the mould is rooted in the silicone and comes back. Replacement deals with the cause in the joint and your cleaning team stops chasing it. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Bonkle. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.

Washroom sealing in Bonkle: the local picture
Bonkle is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Even so, a washroom that doesn’t dry out between uses will see mould get into its sealant.
Healthcare washrooms on sites such as Cleland Hospital, 2.2 miles west of Bonkle, are resealed area by area, under the site’s own infection-control rules. At a school such as Coltness High School, changing rooms and kitchens need cleanable joints as much as the toilets. Church halls and community buildings, such as those at Bonkle Parish Church, have kitchens and toilets used by many groups, and their sanitary sealant works hard.
Bonkle is about 3 miles east of Wishaw, in North Lanarkshire. Across the ML2 postcode area, it works the same way: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. 100 places across North Lanarkshire fall within our area, including Bonkle.

Your questions answered
Do we have to close all our washrooms in Bonkle for resealing?
Not all at once. We take one block of facilities at a time. Sanitary silicone needs time to cure before the area is used, and we’ll tell you how long for the product used.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Cleland Hospital, something you do?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Is there a guarantee on the work?
Every job carries our 12-month guarantee. It applies to our workmanship, not to plumbing leaks or damp from poor ventilation.
Is it OK to put new silicone on top of the old?
We always remove it. New silicone won’t stick to the old so a bead over the top fails quickly.
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, but the work normally takes a morning or so for a small washroom, longer where showers and changing rooms are included. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
Can you reseal washrooms in healthcare buildings?
We work in clinics, hospitals and care homes. Any records you need are confirmed with the quote before we start.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm them with the quote.
Aftercare for building managers
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Respect the cure time before reopening each room
- Avoid scourers and harsh descalers on silicone
- Include joints in routine washroom inspections
- Make sure washroom ventilation is running
If a joint we sealed fails within 12 months, tell us and we’ll look at it. After that, a routine look catches failing joints early.
Boards behind panels and vanity tops can swell when water gets past a failed joint. Once that happens, a reseal won’t fix them.
