About our washroom sealing in Duffus
In a busy washroom, the sealant typically gives up long before the tiles or fittings. Around basins, urinals, cubicles, IPS panels and shower trays it takes water, soap, cleaning chemicals and knocks every day and mould that roots into it can’t be cleaned away. We strip it out and lay new anti-mould sanitary silicone. We work on urinals and WCs, vanity units and basins and showers, trays and wet room floors, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are mould spotting along silicone joints and gaps where vanity tops meet the wall. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Duffus it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.

Looking after the joints
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Include joints in routine washroom inspections
- Share your site rules when you send details
- Don’t leave an open joint at a basin or tray
- Squeegee showers and trays after busy periods
Ventilation is half the battle. Constant damp lets mould take hold even on anti-mould grades so report fans that aren’t working to your building services team.
A split joint at a shower tray can leak for a long time before anyone sees it. By then, other trades may be needed as well, so reseal when you first spot a split.
What we are called out for in Duffus
Cubicle panels, IPS panels and vanity units flex when people lean on them or doors are slammed, and shower trays shift under foot. If the joint wasn’t laid to take that movement, it tears or peels away.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling
- Split or peeling sealant at shower trays
- Washrooms that look worn because of the sealant
- Open joints at the base of cubicle panels
Halls linked to places like Parish Church host groups all week, which is hard on kitchen and toilet sealant.

To price the job, we consider:

Questions we’re asked in Duffus
Will the toilets in our Duffus building be out of use?
Rarely all at once: work is phased so some facilities are always available. Each area is handed back once the sealant has cured enough to use.
Would you work within a site like Spynie Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Do you use special sealant for toilets and showers?
An anti-mould sanitary silicone in most cases. Neutral-cure grades are used where acetoxy types could mark metals, stone or mirror backings.
Is it OK to put new silicone on top of the old?
We always remove it. Fresh silicone can’t key to an old bead so a bead over the top fails quickly.
Wet areas in Duffus’s workplaces
With the shore within about 2 miles, Duffus counts as a coastal location, and coastal hotels, guest houses and holiday sites tend to fill up in the busy months. Washrooms used guest after guest wear their sanitary silicone faster, so resealing in the quieter months keeps rooms ready. Duffus is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Even so, a washroom that doesn’t dry out between uses will see mould get into its sealant.
Clinical washrooms at sites like Spynie Hospital, 3.7 miles south-east of Duffus, are scheduled with the ward so the room is out of use for as little time as possible.

From enquiry to sign-off

With the paperwork done, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. For a building near Duffus, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. We will confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- We start by inspecting the fittings and joints and flagging problems sealant can’t solve.
- A phasing plan keeps part of the building’s facilities in use at all times.
- Failed silicone is removed completely and the surfaces cleaned of every trace.
- 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.
- Rooms reopen after the product’s cure time, and we move to the next.
Preparing the site
- Let us know about inductions and permits
