Washroom sealing near Currie

Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.

What sets the cost

Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:

  • How much existing material needs removing
  • The size and state of each joint
  • How accessible the joints are
  • How much there is to seal

The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

Before you send an enquiry

For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:

  • Where the site is, with the postcode
  • Whether the building will be occupied during the work
  • Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
  • How the joints are reached, and at what height

A handful of photographs and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Send them through the quote form, or call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over if you’d rather talk the job through.

Washroom sealing for commercial buildings in Currie

From one staff toilet in Currie to washrooms across a whole estate, the route is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. Photos and a rough count of basins, urinals, showers and cubicles help us give a quick quote and a site visit is an option. Site teams most often ask us about failed sealant behind washroom basins and a new bead over an old one coming away, across kitchens and tea points, showers, trays and wet room floors and IPS panels and cubicles. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Currie? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.

Around smaller places such as Currie, washrooms and kitchens are found in hotels, pubs, schools, care homes and halls. Black sealant usually can’t be cleaned, so it is removed and replaced with anti-mould sanitary silicone.

Every job is signed 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.

FAQs: Currie

Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like Heriot-Watt University?

Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.

Is Currie too small for you to travel to?

Not at all. Currie is within our area. We work across every Scottish council area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.

Do you do washroom sealing in healthcare settings?

Yes. Your infection-control rules, estates requirements and permits are followed, and phase the work so areas keep facilities.

How long does a job like this take?

We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.

Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?

Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, which many sites require.

Which sealant will you use?

If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.

What will the job cost?

Every job gets its own fixed quote. To get one, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.

Signs you need washroom sealing in Currie

Much of the failed sealant we remove was applied over old silicone or residue. New silicone won’t grip the old so it peels away quickly.

Most enquiries start with something like this:

  • Stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops
  • Sealant stained black around basins and showers
  • Gaps where vanity tops meet the wall
  • Shower tray joints that have opened up

Customer toilets and staff facilities at retail sites such as Westside Plaza Shopping Centre, 1.6 miles to the north-east of Currie, need sealant that stays clean under heavy use.

Before you book anyone

  • Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
  • The named product and why it was chosen
  • How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
  • Their plan for phasing and protecting the area

Our contractor checklist

Maintenance after handover

Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:

  • Make sure washroom ventilation is running
  • Add sealant joints to planned maintenance checks
  • Keep a record of which washrooms need attention
  • Tell us about infection-control or permit rules before we quote

Add washroom sealant to routine inspections. Look for black spotting, cracks, peeling edges and gaps at the busiest fittings and photograph anything new.

Water getting behind IPS panels and vanity units can swell the boards. Once that happens, a reseal won’t fix them.

How a job runs

Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Where we can, we combine work around Currie with other jobs nearby. Tell us how flexible your dates are.

  1. We inspect each washroom and record the joints to be resealed.
  2. You get a fixed quote with the phasing plan.
  3. Old sealant is removed completely and the faces cleaned.
  4. Joints are degreased and dried.
  5. New anti-mould sealant goes in and is tooled neat.
  6. Rooms reopen after the cure time.

Getting the site ready

  • Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
  • Send your site hours and access windows
  • Point out parking and an unloading spot

Request a quote

Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.

Keeping Currie washrooms open while we work

The east of Scotland, where Currie is, gets less rain than the west. Even so, a washroom that doesn’t dry out between uses will see mould get into its sealant.

Toilets at colleges like Edinburgh College - Sighthill Campus (to the north of Currie) take heavy use from students and staff alike. Healthcare estates like Craiglockhart Hydropathic (3 miles north-east of Currie) expect contractors to follow their permits and cleaning rules in every washroom.

How the job changes by surface

Basins and vanity tops

Vanity tops and basins are splashed all day, so the wall joint and bowl surrounds tend to fail before anything else. They are resealed with anti-mould sanitary silicone.

Showers and trays

In staff, hotel and changing-room showers, the tray joint and wall corners take the hardest use. Each bead is stripped, the joint dried and new sealant laid.
