Washroom sealing in Drumbrae, done properly
Accessible WCs, showers and changing areas have their own pinch points: wet-floor edges, tray perimeters, basin tops and the line where flooring meets the wall. Gaps in those places let water get under the floor or behind panels, so we look at them closely. We work on accessible toilets and changing rooms, showers, trays and wet room floors and urinals and WCs, and the failures we are asked to look at most are failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen and sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling.

Hospitality businesses in Scotland’s cities rely on washrooms and kitchens that look right and clean easily. Washrooms get anti-mould sanitary silicone and kitchens hygienic sealant, food-safe where needed.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Questions we are asked in Drumbrae
Can work in a care setting near Drumbrae go ahead while residents are there?
Yes. We agree rooms and times with the manager and work a few areas at a time. We follow the home’s own procedures throughout.
Could you schedule work at a campus like Edinburgh Napier University - Sighthill Campus for the vacation?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we’ll plan the work around them. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.
Do you guarantee washroom sealing?
Our workmanship has a 12-month guarantee, and we carry public liability insurance.
Will cleaning remove black mould from sealant?
Typically not. Mould grows into the sealant itself so cleaning only lightens it for a while. Replacement is the lasting fix.
How long do sealant joints last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Do you work in hospitals, clinics and care homes?
We do. We work to your estates and infection-control requirements and any site permits, and phase the work so areas keep facilities.
Will you quote for a small job?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Honest limits
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Fittings that move too much to hold a bead
- A dripping waste or valve behind a panel
- Leaks through tanking or membranes below the finishes
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- Vanity units and basins
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Urinals and WCs
- Kitchens and tea points
When to call us in Drumbrae
A lot of failed washroom sealant was laid over an old bead or a dirty surface. New silicone won’t grip the old so it peels away quickly.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen
- Resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed
- Shower tray joints that have opened up
- Washrooms that look worn because of the sealant
For a hotel such as Leonardo Hotel Edinburgh Murrayfield, 0.5 miles east of Drumbrae, resealing en suites a few rooms at a time keeps the rest available.
Questions to ask before you book
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
Why it’s worth doing now in Drumbrae
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. In a Scottish city, access often needs scaffold, permits or factor approval, so deal with all failing joints while access is up.
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote when you are ready.
Why appoint us
- A range of standard colours, depending on the product
- Workmanship guaranteed for 12 months
- Clear, fixed quotes
- Failed material removed, not covered up

Toilets, showers and kitchens around Drumbrae
The sea is no more than about 2 miles from Drumbrae, and seaside hospitality typically has a peak season that works washrooms hard. Showers and en suites in constant use are where silicone moulds and splits first, so we plan the work for quieter weeks where possible. There are four care or nursing homes within about 2 miles of Drumbrae. In a care setting, a mouldy or lifting joint in a wet room is a hygiene issue as much as a cosmetic one. Each room is kept out of use only as long as the sealant needs.
At a college such as Edinburgh College - Sighthill Campus, which lies south of Drumbrae, washroom and kitchen sealant is best renewed in the holidays or in phases during term. At a hospital like Spire Murrayfield Hospital, 1.3 miles south-east of Drumbrae, patient and staff washrooms are best done in short phases agreed with the ward.

Quoting for work in Drumbrae
Before we quote, we look at:
- Access and working height
- Location, for remote and island sites
- The size and state of each joint
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

From enquiry to sign-off
In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed before we move to the next. For premises in Drumbrae, 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.
- We survey each room, count the joints and note anything behind them that needs another trade.
- A phasing plan keeps part of the building’s facilities in use at all times.
- The failed silicone is stripped and every face scraped clean of residue.
- Each joint is degreased and left dry, because silicone won’t bond to damp or soapy surfaces.
- A bead of anti-mould sanitary silicone goes in and is tooled to a smooth, cleanable profile.
- You get a reopening time for every room, with signage left up until then.
What we need from you
