Washroom sealing in Craigiebank
Black spotting along a sealant bead is not a cleaning problem. The mould has rooted into the silicone itself, which is why it comes back however often it is treated. Only replacement gets rid of it for good. We work on vanity units and basins, kitchens and tea points and showers, trays and wet room floors, and what we are called in for most is a new bead over an old one coming away and gaps where vanity tops meet the wall. For commercial sealant work in Craigiebank, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Ground-floor premises below tenements in Scotland’s cities often have small staff toilets and kitchens. Small rooms that don’t dry out are where mould gets into sealant first, so it’s worth resealing before it spreads.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

How the job changes by surface
Changing rooms and gyms
We phase work so not every changing area is closed at once. Phasing follows your site hours and access windows.
Wet-room floors and floor-to-wall joints
Floor edges in wet areas are where water most often escapes. We reseal the floor-to-wall junctions and around drains where sealant is used.
Washroom sealing in Craigiebank: the local picture
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Craigiebank, and seaside hospitality usually has a peak season that works washrooms hard. Showers and en suites in constant use are where silicone moulds and splits first, which is why off-season resealing makes sense. Four care or nursing homes sit less than 2 miles from Craigiebank. In care settings, wet rooms, assisted bathrooms and en suites rely on clean, sound sealant. Rooms are done a few at a time at times agreed with the home.
At a college such as Dundee and Angus College - Gardyne Campus, 0.6 miles east of Craigiebank, washroom and kitchen sealant is best renewed in the holidays or in phases during term. For a campus such as Abertay University, 1.8 miles to the west of Craigiebank, showers in residences and washrooms in teaching blocks can be programmed around term dates.

When it isn’t the sealant

- Leaks through tanking or membranes below the finishes
- Swollen or delaminated boards behind panels or vanity tops
- Fittings that move too much to hold a bead

Joints and surfaces we work on
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- Vanity units and basins
- Kitchens and tea points
- Urinals and WCs
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- IPS panels and cubicles
Our process
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, with the work itself usually taking half a day to a day per washroom, depending on the number of fittings. For premises in Craigiebank, tell us about access times, shared entrances and any building rules, and we’ll plan the work to suit, phased where areas need to stay in use.
- Every washroom is checked joint by joint, with loose panels, leaks or damp noted for the right trade.
- The phasing is agreed so there are always facilities open.
- 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.
Getting the site ready
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

Why deal with it now?
A tired washroom says a lot about how a building is run. Visitors notice black sealant before they notice much else. Fresh sanitary silicone lifts a room with very little disruption. Scottish city buildings take plenty of rain, so a split or hardened joint lets water into the wall. Renewing them early protects the fabric.
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

Other services in Craigiebank
What we are called out for in Craigiebank
Mop buckets, trolleys and knocks from users damage joints near the floor, especially at floor edges and around urinals and WC pans.
Clients normally get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Failed sealant behind washroom basins
- Stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops
- Sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling
- Sealant stained black around basins and showers
At a retail site such as Kingsway East Retail Park, under half a mile to the north of Craigiebank, public and staff toilets see heavy use, so mouldy or split sealant is best replaced in phases.

Questions about Craigiebank
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like Abertay University?
Yes. Education sites usually want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Will our hotel in Craigiebank need to close for the work?
Rarely, if ever. We take a few rooms out at a time. We agree the order of rooms and the timings with you before we start.
What sealant do you use in washrooms?
An anti-mould sanitary silicone for most washroom joints. We use neutral-cure versions on stone, some metals and near mirrors.
How do you choose the sealant?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Will you quote for a small job?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Is it OK to put new silicone on top of the old?
The whole of the old bead is removed and the surfaces cleaned first. It’s the difference between a joint that lasts and one that peels.
What will the job cost?
There isn’t a price list, because every site is different. With photos or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
