How we handle washroom sealing in Davidson's Mains
In a commercial washroom, sealant is typically the first thing to wear out. Around basins, urinals, cubicles, IPS panels and shower trays it takes water, soap, cleaning chemicals and knocks every day, and once mould grows into it, it can’t be scrubbed out. We strip it out and lay new anti-mould sanitary silicone. If you are dealing with discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans and washrooms that look worn because of the sealant, we can put it right. Searching for sealant specialists in Davidson's Mains? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
Scottish city buildings, from student residences to hospitals and offices, are full of washrooms and wet areas. We reseal them in phases, agreed with the estates or facilities team.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchens and tea points
Kitchen joints need to be smooth and sealed so they can be cleaned properly. Where food contact is possible, we use a hygienic, food-safe sealant.
IPS and cubicle panels
Cubicle and IPS panels move when leaned on or knocked so the bead needs to cope with it. We check fixings before sealing.
When something else is needed
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Leaking pipes, traps, wastes or cisterns, which need a plumber
- Condensation from failed extract fans
- Panel boards already damaged by water
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Urinals and WCs
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- Vanity units and basins
- Kitchens and tea points
Diagnose, treat, sign off
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work usually takes half a day to a day per washroom, depending on the number of fittings. Give us the access times and building rules for your premises in Davidson's Mains, so the work can be phased and areas kept in use.
- We agree which washrooms close and when.
- Anything behind the joints that needs another trade is flagged.
- Old sealant is stripped and the faces prepared.
- The right sanitary or food-safe sealant is applied.
- We confirm reopening times for each washroom.
Preparing the site
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

Why act early in Davidson's Mains
Open or mouldy joints are hard to keep hygienic which matters most in healthcare, food and education settings. Sound, smooth joints are much easier to keep clean. In a tenement or shared city building, water from a failed joint can reach other owners’ property. Fixing it promptly keeps repairs small.
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.

Keeping the joints sound
For the best life from the joints:
- Report split joints at trays and basins early
- Note failing joints building by building
- Clear standing water from shower floors where possible
- Keep washrooms out of use until we say the sealant has cured
Where possible, have shower floors and trays squeegeed after busy periods. Joints that sit wet for hours fail sooner.
Inspectors look at whether kitchen surfaces can be kept clean. Failed sealant around sinks and worktops is easy to put right in good time.
