Leave it or put it right?
Sealing on top of old silicone saves nothing. Silicone won’t grip silicone, so it lifts and holds moisture underneath. Full removal and proper cleaning is what makes the new joint last. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around East Whitburn before they leak.
Pricing washrooms and wet areas depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you are working to. Call for a quote.

Advice
Washroom sealing around East Whitburn: what changes locally
East Whitburn 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.
Schools such as Whitburn Academy have toilets, changing rooms and kitchens that are best resealed in the holidays. Units at estates like J4M8 Distribution Park (to the north-east of East Whitburn) have welfare blocks whose showers and toilets see shift after shift. For a site such as Tippethill Hospital (1.2 miles north-west of East Whitburn), sanitary joints in clinical areas need sound, cleanable sealant and a careful method.

Your questions answered
Is East Whitburn off your patch?
Not at all. East Whitburn 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.
Will the toilets in our East Whitburn building be out of use?
Not all at once. We take one block of facilities at a time. Each area is handed back once the sealant has cured enough to use.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
Do you take on small jobs?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Can weather delay the job?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
In many cases, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Is it OK to put new silicone on top of the old?
The whole of the old bead is removed and the surfaces cleaned first. That’s what makes the new joint last.
Keeping the joints sound
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Avoid scourers and harsh descalers on silicone
- Don’t leave trays and floors sitting wet
- Mention any site permits or estates rules at quote stage
- Make sure washroom ventilation is running
Mild cleaning products and non-abrasive cloths look after sanitary silicone best. Strong acids, solvents and scourers wear the surface and give mould a start.
Water getting behind IPS panels and vanity units can swell the boards. Once that happens, a reseal won’t fix them.

General trades versus a specialist
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
