Leave it or put it right?
Washrooms shape how visitors judge a building. Guests, clients, pupils and patients notice stained joints even when the room is otherwise spotless. Fresh sanitary silicone lifts a room with very little disruption. In Broomhouse, as across Scotland, rain finds any gap, and failed external joints let it into stone walls and around frames. Resealing promptly protects the stone and the interior.
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Why us?
- Colour options checked against the specified product
- Work carried out by CSCS-carded applicators
- Workmanship guaranteed for 12 months
- Fully insured
Washroom sealing in Broomhouse, done properly
Not every silicone belongs in a washroom. Sanitary grades carry anti-mould additives, 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 showers, trays and wet room floors, kitchens and tea points and vanity units and basins, and the failures we are asked to look at most are a new bead over an old one coming away and gaps where vanity tops meet the wall. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Broomhouse it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Shops and offices at the foot of tenement blocks in Scottish cities often have compact staff washrooms and tea points. Small rooms that don’t dry out are where mould gets into sealant first.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant.

Aftercare for building managers
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Note failing joints building by building
- Squeegee showers and trays after busy periods
- Share your site rules when you send details
- Brief cleaning staff to treat joints gently
Any failure in our workmanship within the 12-month guarantee is ours to put right. Beyond that, regular checks keep small problems small.
Leaks through tray and wet-floor joints can go unseen until a ceiling marks below. At that stage, boards or ceilings may need repair, so reseal when you first spot a split.
Signs you need washroom sealing in Broomhouse
Commercial cleaning is harder on sealant than everyday use. Harsh products, abrasive pads and pressure washing break down a joint’s surface and edges, and dirt and mould then get a foothold.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Panel joints letting water behind
- Shower tray joints that have opened up
- Stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops
- Mould spotting along silicone joints
At a hotel such as Corstorphine Lodge Hotel, which lies north of Broomhouse, the quieter weeks are the time to reseal bathrooms.
Questions to ask before you book

When to bring in a specialist
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. 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.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Your questions answered
Does a hotel in Broomhouse need to shut while its sealant is renewed?
Rarely. Rooms or floors are done in turn, so the rest of the hotel keeps trading. Housekeeping and our team agree each day’s rooms.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Spire Murrayfield Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
What do you charge?
We don’t publish prices, as every site differs. Send photographs or drawings and we will price it at a fixed figure.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a visit.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
It depends on the product specified. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
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.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
