Washroom sealing for commercial buildings in Contin
We reseal washrooms and wet areas in offices, hotels, schools, universities, gyms, healthcare buildings 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. If you have open joints along basins and vanity units and split or peeling sealant at shower trays, we can put it right, on urinals and WCs, vanity units and basins and accessible toilets and changing rooms alike. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Contin, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Around smaller places such as Contin, 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.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

What we can’t put right
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint
- Water from plumbing, not from a joint
- Loose panels, vanity units or tiles, which need fixing first
If you are not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will give you a straight answer.

Quoting for work in Contin
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- How much there is to seal
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Sending details for a quote
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Send us:
- When you need the work done
- Specification clauses that apply
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
The quickest route to a quote is a few photographs and the site postcode. Upload them with the quote form, or phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings if you’d rather talk the job through.
Wet areas in Contin’s workplaces
Being in the west of Scotland, Contin gets more rain than eastern areas. Where ventilation is poor, damp washrooms here tend to see black mould in the sealant sooner. A 2-mile radius around Contin takes in several hotels. Each has en suites, back-of-house toilets and kitchens with sealant that moulds and splits. The work can go floor by floor, agreed with housekeeping.
For a hall at a building such as Contin Church Of Scotland Parish Church, resealing the kitchen and toilets can be fitted between bookings. En suites at hotels like Coul House Hotel (0.6 miles south-east of Contin) are cleaned daily, which wears silicone over time.
Contin (Gaelic: Cunndainn) is about 15 miles north-west of Inverness, in Highland. Across the IV14 postcode area, it works the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. We work across 256 places in Highland, large and small.
If you need washroom sealing in IV14, the process matches everywhere else we work: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. We cover commercial and managed buildings on Woodland Park and Craigdarroch Drive. Close to Contin, our area also takes in Strathpeffer (1 mile east), Marybank (3 miles south-east), Blairninich (3 miles north-east), Garve (5 miles north-west) and Maryburgh (5 miles east). Bigger towns within reach include Inverness (15 miles south-east), Merkinch (14 miles south-east), Dingwall (6 miles east), Alness (15 miles north-east), Crown (15 miles south-east) and Millburn (15 miles south-east).

Should maintenance staff do it?
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
Why act early in Contin
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. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, so it’s worth renewing joints around Contin before they leak.
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote.

Common questions from Contin clients
Is a smaller place like Contin outside your area?
Not at all. Contin is within our area. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Will the toilets in our Contin building be out of use?
Rarely all at once: work is phased so some facilities are always available. Each area is handed back once the sealant has cured enough to use.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, and you deal with one contact throughout across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
Do you use special sealant for toilets and showers?
An anti-mould sanitary silicone for most washroom joints. We use neutral-cure versions on stone, some metals and near mirrors.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
Can you reseal washrooms in healthcare buildings?
Yes. Your infection-control rules, estates requirements and permits are followed. The work is phased around patients or residents.
On site: what to expect
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. With the paperwork done, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you.
