Washroom sealing for businesses in Cromarty
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
When to bring in a specialist
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
How we handle washroom sealing in Cromarty
Not every silicone belongs in a washroom. Sanitary silicone contains additives that resist mould, and neutral-cure types are used where acetoxy silicone could attack some metals, stone or mirror backings. In food areas, hygienic or food-safe sealants are used where food contact is possible. If you have panel joints letting water behind and gaps where vanity tops meet the wall, we can put it right, on IPS panels and cubicles, accessible toilets and changing rooms and urinals and WCs alike. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Cromarty, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Travel to smaller places like Cromarty is planned so the work is finished on one visit. Send photos and a room list and we’ll give a fixed quote.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Leave it or put it right?
A failed joint behind a basin or along a shower tray lets water run where it shouldn’t. That can lead to swollen boards, marked ceilings below and lingering smells, and fixing that takes far more work than resealing. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, and for a smaller place like Cromarty, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
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.

Surface by surface
Kitchens and tea points
Worktop, sink and splashback joints in tea points take water and food. Sound joints keep those surfaces easy to clean.
Wet-room floors and floor-to-wall joints
Wet floors are common in accessible showers and changing rooms, so their perimeter joints get close attention.
What affects the price in Cromarty
These are the things that shape the price:
- Working within restricted access windows
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- The total length or number of joints
- How much existing material needs removing
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 will explain how it’s made up.
Sending details for a quote
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Specification clauses that apply
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Your programme or deadline
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with what you know.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Cromarty can form part of a wider programme.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Keeping Cromarty washrooms open while we work
With the shore within about 1 mile, Cromarty counts as a coastal location, and coastal places often have hotels, guest houses and holiday accommodation with busy seasons. Washrooms used guest after guest wear their sanitary silicone faster, so we plan the work for quieter weeks where possible. Being in the west of Scotland, Cromarty gets more rain than eastern areas. Where ventilation is poor, damp washrooms here tend to see black mould in the sealant sooner.
At a hospital like County Community Hospital, 4.4 miles to the west of Cromarty, patient and staff washrooms are best done in short phases agreed with the ward. Hotels such as The Royal Hotel, under half a mile to the north-west of Cromarty, have en suite bathrooms where tired silicone at the bath, tray and basin is replaced room by room.
Cromarty is about 9 miles north-west of Nairn, in Highland. We send applicators to Cromarty for washrooms and wet areas, handled exactly as we handle every other area. Our Highland coverage takes in 256 places, large and small. We also cover Aberdeen, some 80 miles away.
Commercial sites across IV11 are covered. For a building on High Street, Allan Square and Denoon Place or nearby, we can quote for washrooms and wet areas. Main routes into Cromarty include the A832 and B9163, useful when we plan access and materials. We also cover Nigg (3 miles north), Davidston (3 miles south-west), Pitcalnie (3 miles north), Barbaraville (4 miles north-west) and Kilmuir (4 miles north-west) for washrooms and wet areas. Further afield, our area takes in Nairn (9 miles south-east), Cradlehall (14 miles south), Tain (9 miles north), Alness (8 miles west), Dornoch (14 miles north) and Invergordon (5 miles west). Island and remote sites need extra planning, with travel, ferry crossings where needed and weather to allow for, so mention the location when you call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.

FAQs: Cromarty
Is hospital work, at somewhere like County Community Hospital, something you do?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Is Cromarty too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Cromarty is within our area. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
How long before the toilets can reopen?
Cure times vary by product and temperature. Each room gets its own reopening time from us, and signs stay up until then.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
Will all the toilets be closed at once?
We phase it so users always have somewhere to go. We work through the building a room or section at a time around your site hours and access windows.
What will the job cost?
It depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we will price it properly.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, which many sites require.
