Washroom sealing for Comiston sites
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
What affects the price in Comiston
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- How accessible the joints are
- How much existing material needs removing
- The size and state of each joint
- The total length or number of joints
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Before you send an enquiry
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- Access details, including height
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Any dates the work must fit around
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.
Washroom sealing in Comiston
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 there are always facilities in use. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them. If you are dealing with split or peeling sealant at shower trays and stained sealant around pans and urinals, we can put it right, on urinals and WCs, showers, trays and wet room floors and IPS panels and cubicles alike.

Commercial washrooms in Comiston
Comiston has six care or nursing homes no more than 2 miles away. Care home wet rooms and en suites are used every day and cleaned hard, which tells on the silicone. Each room is kept out of use only as long as the sealant needs. A 2-mile radius around Comiston takes in a good number of hotels. Each has en suites, back-of-house toilets and kitchens with sealant that moulds and splits. Rooms are done in turn so most stay available.
At a school such as Firrhill High School, changing rooms and kitchens need cleanable joints as much as the toilets. For a hotel such as Braid Hills Hotel, 0.5 miles to the north of Comiston, resealing en suites a few rooms at a time keeps the rest available. For a site such as Royal Edinburgh Hospital (1.2 miles north of Comiston), sanitary joints in clinical areas need sound, cleanable sealant and a careful method.

Other services in Comiston
When something else is needed
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Fittings that move too much to hold a bead
- A dripping waste or valve behind a panel
- Panel boards already damaged by water
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll tell you honestly.
Where we work in Comiston
- Kitchens and tea points
- Vanity units and basins
- Urinals and WCs
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
Maintenance after handover
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Don’t leave an open joint at a basin or tray
- Respect the cure time before reopening each room
- Make sure washroom ventilation is running
- Brief cleaning staff to treat joints gently
Ask your cleaning team to use gentle products and soft cloths on sealant. Strong acids, solvents and scourers wear the surface and give mould a start.
Small numbers of failed joints are quick to phase in. Left, it tends to become a building-wide job and more closures to manage.
Comiston: questions and answers
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Royal Edinburgh Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like Edinburgh Napier University - Merchiston Campus?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we will plan the work around them. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
What guarantee comes with washroom resealing?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship backed by public liability insurance.
When can showers be used after new sealant?
The silicone needs time to cure before water reaches it. Phasing is planned with the cure time in mind so there are always rooms open.
Can washrooms stay open while you work?
Just the room being resealed is out of use. Each room reopens after the sealant’s cure time, then we move on.
Will cleaning remove black mould from sealant?
Surface cleaning won’t reach mould that has rooted into the bead. New anti-mould sanitary silicone is the treatment and point out if ventilation is part of the problem.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photographs, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
How the job changes by surface
Basins and vanity tops
Stone and some composite tops need a neutral-cure sealant, so the product is chosen to suit.
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.
Our process
Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll 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. City jobs in Comiston typically need parking and loading planned. Tenement closes, shared stairs and factor approvals may also be involved.
- 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.
- We strip out the old bead and clean off the residue left behind.
- We clean and dry every surface so the new sealant can grip.
- A bead of anti-mould sanitary silicone goes in and is tooled to a smooth, cleanable profile.
- Rooms reopen after the product’s cure time, and we move to the next.
What we need from you
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in

Advice
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
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.
