How we handle washroom sealing in Catrine
Closing all the facilities in a building isn’t an option. Work is phased by room or by section, so staff, guests or pupils always have somewhere to go. Give us your site hours and access windows and the phasing is planned around them. If you’re dealing with failed joints along IPS and cubicle panels and gaps where vanity tops meet the wall, we can help. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Catrine first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Around smaller places such as Catrine, washrooms and kitchens are found in hotels, pubs, schools, care homes and 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.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

General trades versus a specialist
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
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 easy to get wrong without experience.

Why deal with it now?
Gaps and mould in joints give dirt and bacteria somewhere to sit, and in kitchens, clinics and schools that is a real concern. A smooth, sealed joint can be cleaned properly. For buildings near Catrine, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Send photos and we’ll quote for everything together.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
Why us?
- Colour agreed before work starts
- RAL and finish matching where the product range allows
- Failed material removed, not covered up
- Public liability insurance in place

How the quote is worked out
Before we quote, we look at:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Distance, for remote addresses
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote.
What we need to price the job
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- Any specification or named product
- The site address and postcode
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Any dates the work must fit around
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
On site: what to expect
Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact, and each area is checked before we leave it. For a building near Catrine, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. We will confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- We survey each room, count the joints and note anything behind them that needs another trade.
- We agree which rooms close and when, so users always have somewhere to go.
- The failed silicone is stripped and every face scraped clean of residue.
- Each joint is degreased and left dry, because silicone won’t bond to damp or soapy surfaces.
- A bead of anti-mould sanitary silicone goes in and is tooled to a smooth, cleanable profile.
- You get a reopening time for every room, with signage left up until then.
Preparing the site
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Send your site hours and access windows

Common questions from Catrine clients
Would you work within a site like Ballochmyle Hospital?
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.
Will the toilets in our Catrine building be out of use?
Rarely all at once: work is phased so some facilities are always available. Sanitary silicone needs time to cure before the area is used, and we will tell you how long for the product used.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Can you clean the mould off instead of resealing?
Cleaning may lighten it, but the mould returns. New anti-mould sanitary silicone is the treatment and check the ventilation isn’t the cause.
Can you reseal washrooms in healthcare buildings?
Yes. Your infection-control rules, estates requirements and permits are followed, and phase the work so areas keep facilities.
Who decides which product is used?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
What sealant do you use in washrooms?
Sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives for most washroom joints. Neutral-cure grades are used where acetoxy types could mark metals, stone or mirror backings.
When something else is needed
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We will tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Failed tanking beneath a wet-room floor or behind tiles
- Mould caused by poor ventilation, which will return until the extract is fixed
- Hollow tiles or loose panels behind the joint
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Kitchens and tea points
- Urinals and WCs
- Vanity units and basins
After the work
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Avoid scourers and harsh descalers on silicone
- Keep washrooms out of use until we say the sealant has cured
- Keep a record of which washrooms need attention
- Clear standing water from shower floors where possible
Add washroom sealant to routine inspections. Check for mould spots, splits, lifting edges and open joints at trays, basins and urinals and log what you find.
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.
Busy facilities in and around Catrine
Being in the west of Scotland, Catrine gets more rain than eastern areas. Where ventilation is poor, damp washrooms here tend to see black mould in the sealant sooner.
Where you are responsible for a hall attached to a building such as Catrine Parish Church, its kitchen and toilets need sealant that stays cleanable. At a hospital like Ballochmyle Hospital, which lies north-west of Catrine, patient and staff washrooms are best done in short phases agreed with the ward. For an occupier at a site such as Station Road Industrial Estate, 2 miles to the west of Catrine, the canteen and welfare facilities need cleanable joints as much as any office.
Catrine is about 10 miles south-east of Kilmarnock, in East Ayrshire. We send applicators to Catrine for washrooms and wet areas. Across East Ayrshire, 56 places are covered, Catrine among them. Our Glasgow page has more on work in that area.
