About our washroom sealing in Colbost
Our washroom work covers offices, hotels, schools and colleges, leisure centres and gyms, clinics and care homes, plus the kitchens and tea points that go with them. The products and the method are chosen for how heavily each space is used. Site teams most often ask us about stained sealant around pans and urinals and sealant lifting along a tray edge, on kitchens and tea points, accessible toilets and changing rooms and vanity units and basins.

Around smaller places such as Colbost, 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.

What else we do in Colbost
Questions we are asked in Colbost
Do we have to close all our washrooms in Colbost for resealing?
Typically only some of them, for a short time. We work in phases so other facilities stay open. We will tell you the curing time for the product before we start.
Is Colbost too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Colbost is within our area. We work across every Scottish council area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
What do you charge?
It depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we will price it properly.
Do you work in hospitals, clinics and care homes?
We work in clinics, hospitals and care homes. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote before we start.
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, including public liability cover.
Why it’s worth doing now in Colbost
Sealing on top of old silicone saves nothing. Silicone won’t grip silicone, so it lifts and holds moisture underneath. Cutting out completely and cleaning back takes a little longer and lasts. For buildings near Colbost, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.
What you get with us
- A range of standard colours, depending on the product
- Colours chosen to suit frames, cladding or finishes where possible
- Colours confirmed for the specified product
- Joints cleaned back to sound surfaces
What we are called out for in Colbost
Cubicle panels, IPS panels and vanity units flex when people lean on them or doors are slammed and trays shift slightly with each user. If the joint wasn’t laid to take that movement, it tears or peels away.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans
- Resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed
- Stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops
- Open joints at the base of cubicle panels
Around Colbost, washroom joints are resealed by removing the old silicone completely and laying anti-mould sanitary silicone on dry surfaces.

Commercial washrooms in Colbost
Colbost lies within about 1 mile of the sea, and seaside hospitality normally has a peak season that works washrooms hard. Showers and en suites in constant use are where silicone moulds and splits first, so resealing in the quieter months keeps rooms ready. Colbost is on Scotland’s wetter western side. Washrooms with weak extraction stay damp in this climate, and mould finds the silicone first.
Phased work lets washrooms in and around Colbost stay partly open while sealant is renewed.
Colbost (Gaelic: Cealabost) is in Highland. Across the IV55 postcode area, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. We work across 256 places in Highland, large and small.
Work on washrooms and wet areas is covered throughout IV55, whatever the building. Main routes into Colbost include the B884, useful when we plan access and materials. Nearby places we also cover include Kilmuir (2 miles east), Dunvegan (3 miles east), Lonmore (3 miles east), An t-Aodann Ban (8 miles east) and Clachamish (11 miles east). Remote and island addresses take more planning, from travel and ferries to the weather, so mention the location when you call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
What’s near Colbost
Nearby you will also find Dunvegan Castle (1.9 miles east) and Colbost Croft Museum (under half a mile north-west). The countryside around Colbost includes Healabhal Mhòr and Loch Druim a' Chaoil.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
What we can’t put right
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint
- Mould caused by poor ventilation, which will return until the extract is fixed
- Leaking pipes, traps, wastes or cisterns, which need a plumber
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Urinals and WCs
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- Vanity units and basins
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- Kitchens and tea points
What affects the price in Colbost
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Location, for remote and island sites
- The total length or number of joints
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.
Details that help us quote
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- The product your specification calls for
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
