Common problems we fix in Comrie
A lot of failed washroom sealant was laid over an old bead or a dirty surface. Silicone won’t adhere to a silicone bead so it peels away quickly.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Open joints along basins and vanity units
- Open joints at the base of cubicle panels
- Washrooms that look worn because of the sealant
- Failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen
On an industrial estate such as Oakley Industrial Estate (0.5 miles east of Comrie), staff toilets, showers and canteens are where sanitary sealant takes the most wear.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- How they’ll work around occupants
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long

On site: what to expect
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. For work around Comrie, we aim for one trip, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- We survey each room, count the joints and note anything behind them that needs another trade.
- A phasing plan keeps part of the building’s facilities in use at all times.
- Failed silicone is removed completely and the surfaces cleaned of every trace.
- We clean and dry every surface so the new sealant can grip.
- We lay a sanitary silicone bead and tool it smooth so it is easy to clean.
- You get a reopening time for every room, with signage left up until then.
Preparing the site
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
Quotes
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
Advice
What happens if it’s left?
Waiting for a holiday closure can leave failing joints in place for a long time. With phasing, the work can go ahead while most facilities stay open. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, and for a smaller place like Comrie, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.

Questions about Comrie
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Bo'ness Hospital, something you do?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Do we have to close all our washrooms in Comrie for resealing?
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.
How do you choose the sealant?
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.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
How long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, but the work normally takes a morning or so for a small washroom, longer where showers and changing rooms are included. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
What sealant do you use in washrooms?
Sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives in the majority of cases. Neutral-cure grades are used where acetoxy types could mark metals, stone or mirror backings.
Quoting for work in Comrie
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- The size and state of each joint
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
What to include in your enquiry
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Where the site is, with the postcode
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
Commercial washrooms in Comrie
With the shore within about 3 miles, Comrie counts as a coastal location, and seaside hospitality normally has a peak season that works washrooms hard. Heavy seasonal use is hard on shower and basin sealant, and the quieter months are the natural time to reseal. The east of Scotland, where Comrie is, gets less rain than the west. Inside, ventilation and use decide how fast washroom sealant moulds, whatever the weather.
Where you’re responsible for a hall attached to a building such as Church of The Most Holy Name, its kitchen and toilets need sealant that stays cleanable. At a hospital like Bo'ness Hospital, 5.3 miles south of Comrie, patient and staff washrooms are best done in short phases agreed with the ward.
Comrie is about 5 miles north of Bo'ness, in Fife. We cover commercial sites throughout Comrie, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme. We work across 132 places in Fife, from busy centres to rural villages. Edinburgh is covered too, around 17 miles from Comrie.
We take on washrooms and wet areas across the KY12 postcode area, for business premises of every kind. For a building on Main Street, Porterfield and Parkland Grove or nearby, send details and we will quote for washrooms and wet areas. Close to Comrie, our area also takes in Oakley (1 mile east), Carnock (1 mile east), Newmills (2 miles south), Low Torry (2 miles south) and Torryburn (2 miles south). Bigger towns within reach include Dunfermline (6 miles east), Cowdenbeath (9 miles east), Dalgety Bay (9 miles east), Rosyth (7 miles south-east), Abbeyview (6 miles east) and Lochgelly (11 miles east).

When it isn’t the sealant
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- A room that stays damp because ventilation isn’t working
- Swollen or delaminated boards behind panels or vanity tops
- Fittings that move too much to hold a bead
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- Kitchens and tea points
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Urinals and WCs
- Vanity units and basins
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
How the job changes by surface
Urinals and WC pans
The joint between a pan and the floor is easy to overlook. They are checked with everything else.
Showers and trays
Shower trays move under foot and are wet all day. Tray joints are where many washroom leaks start.
