How we handle washroom sealing in Dunbar
Since 2005 we have resealed commercial washrooms for facilities teams, contractors and building owners. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member. We are fully insured. Every resealed washroom carries our 12-month guarantee. We work on kitchens and tea points, showers, trays and wet room floors and IPS panels and cubicles, and what we’re called in for most is shower tray joints that have opened up and kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean. For commercial sealant work in Dunbar, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Hotels and holiday accommodation in rural Scotland have busy and quiet seasons, and resealing washrooms in the quieter months keeps rooms available when they’re needed.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will arrange a return visit.

What the job involves on each surface
IPS and cubicle panels
A panel that has already swollen won’t be fixed by sealant and we will point out any we see.
Kitchens and tea points
Kitchen joints need to be smooth and sealed so they can be cleaned properly. Food-safe sealants are used where food may touch the joint.
How a job runs
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. For a building near Dunbar, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- We agree which washrooms close and when.
- Leaks, loose panels or damp are pointed out first.
- Old sealant is stripped and the faces prepared.
- We reseal with the grade suited to each area.
- We give you a reopening time for every room.
What we need from you
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

Toilets, showers and kitchens around Dunbar
Dunbar lies within about 1 mile of the sea, and coastal hotels, guest houses and holiday sites tend to fill up in the busy months. Heavy seasonal use is hard on shower and basin sealant, so we plan the work for quieter weeks where possible. There are plenty of hotels within about 2 miles of Dunbar. En suite bathrooms, staff changing rooms and kitchens all need their sanitary silicone renewed in time.
For a hotel such as Eden Hotel, which lies north of Dunbar, resealing en suites a few rooms at a time keeps the rest available. At a hospital like Belhaven Hospital, 0.7 miles to the west of Dunbar, patient and staff washrooms are best done in short phases agreed with the ward.

Near you in Dunbar

Maintenance after handover
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Act on the first split you see at a shower tray
- Report faulty extraction promptly
- Mention any site permits or estates rules at quote stage
- Clear standing water from shower floors where possible
Include sealant joints in your planned maintenance checks. Check for mould spots, splits, lifting edges and open joints at trays, basins and urinals and photograph anything new.
In food areas, cleanability is something environmental health officers look at. Resealing sinks, worktops and splashbacks before an inspection is a simple step.
What we’re called out for in Dunbar
Panels and vanity units move slightly in use, and shower trays shift under foot. A bead that can’t cope with the movement splits along one edge.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans
- Gaps where vanity tops meet the wall
- Resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed
- Open joints at the base of cubicle panels
Welfare facilities in units on estates such as Spott Road Industrial Estate (to the south-east of Dunbar) have showers, toilets and kitchens with sealant that works hard.
Questions to ask before you book
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
What else we do in Dunbar
General trades versus a specialist
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Dunbar: questions and answers
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Belhaven Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Is Dunbar too far out for you?
No. Places such as Dunbar are covered as much as the big towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we’ll price the work to it.
When can showers be used after new sealant?
That varies with the sealant and the room temperature. Each room gets its own reopening time from us, and signs stay up until then.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so we will ask for the register before work on an older building. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Is any job too small?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Are you insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
When it isn’t the sealant
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Swollen or delaminated boards behind panels or vanity tops
- Condensation from failed extract fans
- Leaking pipes, traps, wastes or cisterns, which need a plumber
If you are not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
