What affects the price in Edinburgh
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
Sending details for a quote
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Specification clauses that apply
- The type of building and who uses it
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
A handful of photographs and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Send them through the quote form, or give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form if you’d rather talk the job through.
Washroom sealing in Edinburgh
Facilities managers, contractors and building owners have used us for washroom sealing for over 20 years. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with CSCS-carded applicators. There is public liability insurance behind every job. Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. We work on IPS panels and cubicles, showers, trays and wet room floors and kitchens and tea points, and the failures we are asked to look at most are stained sealant around pans and urinals and sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Edinburgh, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Hospitality businesses in Scotland’s cities rely on washrooms and kitchens that look right and clean easily. We use anti-mould silicone in washrooms and food-safe hygienic sealant at kitchen worktops.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.
Common questions from Edinburgh clients
Can work at a site such as University of Edinburgh - Lauriston Campus fit around teaching?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we’ll plan the work around them. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Will you work in a care home in Edinburgh without moving residents out?
Yes. We work around residents’ routines, a room or two at a time. We follow the home’s own procedures throughout.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, as many construction sites ask for.
How long do sealant joints last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Do you need to remove the old sealant?
The failed bead is always removed. New silicone won’t stick to the old so a bead over the top fails quickly.
Do you do washroom sealing in healthcare settings?
Yes, healthcare and care settings are part of our work. Tell us what records you need and we will confirm with the quote.
What do you charge?
There isn’t a price list, as every site differs. Send photos or drawings and we’ll price it at a fixed figure.
What sealant work can’t fix
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Condensation from failed extract fans
- Fittings that move too much to hold a bead
- Leaking pipes, traps, wastes or cisterns, which need a plumber
If you are not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- Urinals and WCs
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- Vanity units and basins
- Kitchens and tea points
- IPS panels and cubicles
For managing agents and facilities managers
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
Aftercare for building managers
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Mention any site permits or estates rules at quote stage
- Add sealant joints to planned maintenance checks
- Report faulty extraction promptly
- Report split joints at trays and basins early
Ask your cleaning team to use gentle products and soft cloths on sealant. Strong acids, solvents and scourers wear the surface over time.
Boards behind panels and vanity tops can swell when water gets past a failed joint. After that, those parts need replacing rather than resealing.
Washroom sealing in Edinburgh: the local picture
The sea is no more than about 2 miles from Edinburgh, and coastal places often have hotels, guest houses and holiday accommodation with busy seasons. Washrooms used guest after guest wear their sanitary silicone faster, so we plan the work for quieter weeks where possible. There are plenty of hotels within about 2 miles of Edinburgh. En suite bathrooms, staff changing rooms and kitchens all need their sanitary silicone renewed in time. We work a handful of rooms at a time, so the hotel keeps letting the rest.
For centre management at a site such as Waverley Mall, which lies north-east of Edinburgh, washroom work is planned around footfall. On an industrial estate such as Russell Road Industrial Estate (0.8 miles west of Edinburgh), staff toilets, showers and canteens are where sanitary sealant takes the most wear. Colleges such as Royal College of General Practitioners Edinburgh (to the north of Edinburgh) have toilets, changing rooms and catering kitchens that can be resealed around term dates.

Our process
Diagnose, treat, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. For premises in Edinburgh, tell us about access times, shared entrances and any building rules, so the work can be phased and areas kept in use.
- First, the phasing is agreed so facilities stay open.
- 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 confirm reopening times for each washroom.
Getting the site ready
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
Quotes
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with what you know.
