Keeping Footdee washrooms open while we work
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Footdee, and places by the sea often rely on visitors, so their hotels and holiday lets see heavy seasonal use. Washrooms used guest after guest wear their sanitary silicone faster, so resealing in the quieter months keeps rooms ready. A good number of hotels sit less than 2 miles from Footdee. En suite bathrooms, staff changing rooms and kitchens all need their sanitary silicone renewed in time. Rooms are done in turn so most stay available.
For a campus such as Robert Gordon University, 1.2 miles west of Footdee, showers in residences and washrooms in teaching blocks can be programmed around term dates. Welfare facilities in units on estates such as Links Street Industrial Estate (0.5 miles north-west of Footdee) have showers, toilets and kitchens with sealant that works hard. For a hall at a building such as St Fittick's Church, resealing the kitchen and toilets can be fitted between bookings.

How the job changes by surface
Changing rooms and gyms
We phase work so not every changing area is closed at once. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Showers and trays
Shower joints in hotels, gyms and workplaces work hard. Each bead is stripped, the joint dried and new sealant laid.
How the quote is worked out
These are the things that shape the price:
- How accessible the joints are
- Location, for remote and island sites
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Whether the work must be split into stages
Pricing washrooms and wet areas depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Call for a quote.
What to include in your enquiry
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Any dates the work must fit around
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- The product your specification calls for

Why act early in Footdee
When a washroom looks worn, a refit isn’t the only answer. If the finishes are in good order, replacing the sealant may do much of what’s needed while bigger works are planned. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, giving water time to get in. Resealing early avoids that.
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.

Keeping the joints sound
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Brief cleaning staff to treat joints gently
- Make sure washroom ventilation is running
- Squeegee showers and trays after busy periods
- Add sealant joints to planned maintenance checks
Keep extract fans working and vents clear. Constant damp lets mould take hold even on anti-mould grades, so get faulty extract looked at.
Water getting behind IPS panels and vanity units can swell the boards. Once that happens, a reseal won’t fix them.
Questions we’re asked in Footdee
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as Robert Gordon University?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.
Is Footdee too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you send site paperwork?
Each site asks for different documents, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Do you work in hospitals, clinics and care homes?
Yes, healthcare and care settings are part of our work. Tell us what records you need and we will confirm with the quote.
Will you come and look before quoting?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Simple work can often be priced from photos, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us. Include photographs or drawings if you have them.
How much does the work cost?
Each job is quoted on its own details. For yours, phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Doing it in-house
Certain joints really need a specialist: 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.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
