Our process
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked, ready for your sign-off. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. University, hospital and office estates in Scotland’s cities have their own permits, inductions and sign-in rules. Pass on the site’s contractor rules when you get in touch.
- Every washroom is checked joint by joint, with loose panels, leaks or damp noted for the right trade.
- A phasing plan keeps part of the building’s facilities in use at all times.
- 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.
- New sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives goes in and is tooled neat.
- Each room is handed back once the sealant has had its cure time.
Preparing the site
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Warn occupants and staff about the work

Advice
Washroom sealing in Colinton Mains, done properly
You can’t shut every toilet in an office, school or hotel at once. We phase the work one washroom, one bank of cubicles or one changing room at a time, so staff, guests or pupils always have somewhere to go. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them. Site teams most often ask us about sealant stained black around basins and showers and shower tray joints that have opened up, across showers, trays and wet room floors, vanity units and basins and accessible toilets and changing rooms. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Colinton Mains from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Hospitality businesses in Scotland’s cities rely on washrooms and kitchens that look right and clean easily. We use anti-mould silicone in washrooms and food-safe hygienic sealant at kitchen worktops.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Other services in Colinton Mains
When to call us in Colinton Mains
Washrooms are warm, damp and full of organic residue, and sealant joints trap all three. Anti-mould additives help, but in a poorly ventilated room mould can still take hold eventually.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans
- Complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms
- Open joints along basins and vanity units
- Kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean
For a campus such as Edinburgh Napier University, 1.4 miles north-west of Colinton Mains, showers in residences and washrooms in teaching blocks can be programmed around term dates.

Leave it or put it right?
Bleaching black sealant may lighten it for a few days but the growth is inside the bead and returns. A full reseal deals with it and cleaners stop fighting a losing battle. In a Scottish city, access often needs scaffold, permits or factor approval, so deal with all failing joints while access is up.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.
Why us?
- Matching to RAL references, product permitting
- Colours confirmed for the specified product
- Clear, fixed quotes

What the job involves on each surface
IPS and cubicle panels
Swollen or delaminated boards need replacing, and any we come across will be pointed out.
Kitchens and tea points
Worktop, sink and splashback joints in tea points take water and food. Sound joints keep those surfaces easy to clean.
When it isn’t the sealant
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Vanity carcasses that have swollen
- Condensation from failed extract fans
- Leaking pipes, traps, wastes or cisterns, which need a plumber
If you’re not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- Urinals and WCs

Questions we are asked in Colinton Mains
Can you work on a hospital site such as Royal Edinburgh Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Can you work in a care home near Colinton Mains with residents in?
Yes. We work around residents’ routines, a room or two at a time. We follow the home’s own procedures throughout.
Do you take on small jobs?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Photos and a description are enough to start.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, but the work normally takes half a day to a day per washroom, depending on the number of fittings. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
Do you guarantee washroom sealing?
Our workmanship has a 12-month guarantee, and we carry public liability insurance.
How long do sealant joints last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form. Include photos or drawings if you have them.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.

We plan the work with the manager so residents are disturbed as little as possible.
