Commercial washrooms in Erbusaig
Erbusaig lies within about 1 mile of the sea, and coastal places often have hotels, guest houses and holiday accommodation with busy seasons. Heavy seasonal use is hard on shower and basin sealant, so we plan the work for quieter weeks where possible. Erbusaig has a number of hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Each has en suites, back-of-house toilets and kitchens with sealant that moulds and splits. The work can go floor by floor, agreed with housekeeping.
For a hotel such as Tingle Creek Hotel (under half a mile south-west of Erbusaig), resealing en suites a few rooms at a time keeps the rest available.
Erbusaig is in Highland. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Erbusaig use us for work on washrooms and wet areas, as part of our coverage of Highland. Erbusaig is one of 256 places in Highland on our list for washrooms and wet areas.
Commercial sites across IV40 are covered for washrooms and wet areas. If your building is just outside Erbusaig, we cover Drumbuie (1 mile north-east), Kyle of Lochalsh (1 mile south), Kyleakin (2 miles south), Balmacara (3 miles east) and Plockton (4 miles north-east). Remote and island addresses take more planning, from travel and ferries to the weather, so give the site location in your enquiry.

Washroom sealing in Erbusaig, done properly
Since 2005 we have resealed commercial washrooms for facilities teams, contractors and building owners. 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. Site teams most often ask us about mould spotting along silicone joints and failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen, on vanity units and basins, kitchens and tea points and urinals and WCs. Whoever orders the work in Erbusaig, the brief is normally the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Around smaller places such as Erbusaig, washrooms and kitchens are found in hotels, pubs, schools, care homes and halls. Black sealant usually can’t be cleaned, so it is removed and replaced with anti-mould sanitary silicone.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in Erbusaig as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Your questions answered
Is Erbusaig too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do hotels near Erbusaig have to close for sealant work?
Rarely, if ever. We take a few rooms out at a time. Tell us your quiet periods and access windows and we will plan around them.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
When can showers be used after new sealant?
Each sealant has a cure time before it should get wet. Phasing is planned with the cure time in mind so facilities are never short.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
How long do sealant joints last?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Common problems we fix in Erbusaig
Cubicle panels, IPS panels and vanity units flex when people lean on them or doors are slammed, and shower trays shift under foot. A bead that can’t cope with the movement splits along one edge.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Failed sealant behind washroom basins
- Stained sealant around pans and urinals
- Resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed
- Kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean
At a school such as Lochalsh School, changing rooms and kitchens need cleanable joints as much as the toilets.
What to look for in a quote
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
Quoting for work in Erbusaig
To price the job, we consider:
- How much there is to seal
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Phasing around occupants
- Travel to remote or island sites
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
What we need to price the job
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The postcode of the building
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
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 email us to discuss it first.
Leave it or put it right?
Running fresh silicone along a failed bead hides the problem briefly. It doesn’t bond, so it peels and traps dirt behind it. Cutting out completely and cleaning back takes a little longer and lasts. Around smaller places like Erbusaig, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, giving water time to get in. Early resealing prevents it.
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

Related advice
What the job involves on each surface
Urinals and WC pans
We reseal around urinals and pans with a sanitary grade once the whole of the old bead has gone.
Basins and vanity tops
Basin joints get wet every time someone washes their hands, so the wall joint and bowl surrounds tend to fail before anything else. They are resealed with anti-mould sanitary silicone.
General trades versus a specialist
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
