Washroom sealing in Caddonfoot
You can’t shut every toilet in an office, school or hotel at once. Work is phased by room or by section, so staff, guests or pupils always have somewhere to go. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them. If you have sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling and open joints at the base of cubicle panels, we can put it right, whatever the surface. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Caddonfoot first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Hospitality around smaller Scottish places like Caddonfoot tends to be seasonal, and resealing washrooms in the quieter months keeps rooms available when they’re needed.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- A dripping waste or valve behind a panel
- Leaks through tanking or membranes below the finishes
- Loose panels, vanity units or tiles, which need fixing first
If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- Urinals and WCs
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- Kitchens and tea points
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Vanity units and basins

Advice
Wet areas in Caddonfoot’s workplaces
Caddonfoot is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Inside, ventilation and use decide how fast washroom sealant moulds, whatever the weather.
Healthcare estates like Borders General Hospital (to the east of Caddonfoot) expect contractors to follow their permits and cleaning rules in every washroom. For a campus such as Heriot-Watt University - Scottish Borders Campus, 3.6 miles east of Caddonfoot, showers in residences and washrooms in teaching blocks can be programmed around term dates. For a store at a site such as Comely Bank Mill Retail Park, which lies north-east of Caddonfoot, the staff room and customer toilets can be resealed in quiet periods.
Caddonfoot is about 3 miles west of Galashiels, in the Scottish Borders. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Caddonfoot can call on us for washrooms and wet areas.

Aftercare for building managers
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Don’t leave an open joint at a basin or tray
- Leave signs up until the cure time is over
- Keep extract fans working and vents clear
- Note failing joints building by building
We hand each area back once the silicone has had the cure time the product needs. You will be told when showers and basins can be used again and signage stays in place until that time.
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 failed joints are worth acting on quickly.
When to bring in a specialist
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Redoing a failed joint normally 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.

Changing rooms can be phased so one stays open. Phasing follows your site hours and access windows.
Why it’s worth doing now in Caddonfoot
When a washroom looks worn, a refit isn’t the only answer. Where tiles, panels and fittings are sound, new sealant may be enough to put it right while bigger works are planned. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, and for a smaller place like Caddonfoot, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a quote when you are ready.

Common questions from Caddonfoot clients
Is Caddonfoot off your patch?
Not at all. Caddonfoot is within our area. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Is a hospital such as Borders General Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
How long before the toilets can reopen?
The silicone needs time to cure before water reaches it. We plan the phasing around that so facilities are never short.
Do you need to see the site first?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.
