What we can’t put right
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Leaking pipes, traps, wastes or cisterns, which need a plumber
- Condensation from failed extract fans
- Loose panels, vanity units or tiles, which need fixing first

Washroom sealing in Charlestown
From one staff toilet in Charlestown to washrooms across a whole estate, we work the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. Photos and a rough count of basins, urinals, showers and cubicles help us give a quick quote, or we can arrange a visit. If you’re dealing with stained sealant around pans and urinals and failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen, we can help, on vanity units and basins, IPS panels and cubicles and urinals and WCs alike. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Charlestown, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Hospitality around smaller Scottish places like Charlestown tends to be seasonal, and resealing washrooms in the quieter months keeps rooms available when they’re needed.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Charlestown: questions and answers
Would you work within a site like New Craigs Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Is Charlestown too far out for you?
No. Places such as Charlestown are covered as much as the big towns. We work across every Scottish council area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
What site paperwork can you supply?
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.
When can showers be used after new sealant?
That varies with the sealant and the room temperature. You will get a reopening time for each area before we leave it.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
In many cases, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
Will you come and look before quoting?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Our process
Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area.

- We agree which washrooms close and when.

Before we start on site
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Agree which areas must stay open
Ask for a quote
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.

Doing it in-house
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. 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.
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. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
What else we do in Charlestown
Keeping the joints sound
For the best life from the joints:
- Inspect washroom sealant regularly
- Clear standing water from shower floors where possible
- Report split joints at trays and basins early
- Avoid scourers and harsh descalers on silicone
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.
In food areas, cleanability is something environmental health officers look at. Resealing sinks, worktops and splashbacks before an inspection is a simple step.
How the job changes by surface
Basins and vanity tops
Basin joints get wet every time someone washes their hands, so the wall joint and bowl surrounds tend to fail before anything else. They are resealed with anti-mould sanitary silicone.
Wet-room floors and floor-to-wall joints
Wet-room floors and the joints where flooring turns up the wall need to stay sound. We reseal the floor-to-wall junctions and around drains where sealant is used.
What sets the cost
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- Phasing around occupants
- How much existing material needs removing
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- The product specified
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
What to include in your enquiry
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Specification clauses that apply
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- The type of building and who uses it
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Sanitary sealant for Charlestown buildings
Charlestown is within about 1 mile of the coast, and places by the sea often rely on visitors, so their hotels and holiday lets see heavy seasonal use. Showers and en suites in constant use are where silicone moulds and splits first, so resealing in the quieter months keeps rooms ready. Charlestown is on Scotland’s wetter western side. In a damp climate, washrooms that aren’t well ventilated stay wet for longer, and sealant in a room that never dries out moulds faster.
For a site such as New Craigs Hospital, which lies south of Charlestown, sanitary joints in clinical areas need sound, cleanable sealant and a careful method. Schools such as Inverness High School have toilets, changing rooms and kitchens that are best resealed in the holidays. At a hotel such as North Kessock Hotel, under half a mile east of Charlestown, the quieter weeks are the time to reseal bathrooms.
