How we handle washroom sealing in Gairloch
For clinics, hospitals and care homes, sealed joints matter for infection control as much as appearance. Your estates and infection-control requirements, and any permits the site uses, shape how we work. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote. If you are dealing with washrooms that look worn because of the sealant and sealant lifting along a tray edge, we can help. Most enquiries from Gairloch start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Hotels and holiday accommodation in rural Scotland have busy and quiet seasons, so washroom work is often best planned for quieter months.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

When to call us in Gairloch
Much of the failed sealant we remove was applied over old silicone or residue. New silicone won’t grip the old, so it soon lets go.
Look out for the following:
- Open joints along basins and vanity units
- Mould spotting along silicone joints
- Failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen
- Washrooms that look worn because of the sealant
Pupil toilets at schools like Gairloch High School take heavy daily use, and the holidays give the window to reseal.

Questions we are asked in Gairloch
Does a hotel in Gairloch need to shut while its sealant is renewed?
Rarely, if ever. We take a few rooms out at a time. The plan is built around your bookings.
Will the toilets in our Gairloch building be out of use?
Rarely all at once: work is phased so some facilities are always available. Sanitary silicone needs time to cure before the area is used, and we will tell you how long for the product used.
Do you work in hospitals, clinics and care homes?
We work in clinics, hospitals and care homes. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote before we start.
Will cleaning remove black mould from sealant?
Normally not. Mould grows into the sealant itself so cleaning only lightens it for a while. Replacement is the lasting fix.

Surface by surface
Wet-room floors and floor-to-wall joints
Sealant at a wet-room floor edge is not a substitute for the waterproofing underneath, and we will say if the trouble looks to be beneath the floor.
Basins and vanity tops
Basin joints get wet every time someone washes their hands, so the joint to the wall and around each bowl fails early. We remove the old bead and lay a fresh one of sanitary silicone.
Other services in Gairloch
Washroom sealing in Gairloch: the local picture
Gairloch lies within about 1 mile of the sea, and seaside hospitality usually has a peak season that works washrooms hard. Heavy seasonal use is hard on shower and basin sealant, so resealing in the quieter months keeps rooms ready. Gairloch has a number of hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Behind every hotel door there’s a bathroom whose sealant will need renewing sooner or later. Rooms are done in turn so most stay available.
At a hotel such as Millcroft Hotel (under half a mile west of Gairloch), the quieter weeks are the time to reseal bathrooms.
Gairloch is in Highland. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Gairloch use us for work on washrooms and wet areas. We work across 256 places in Highland.

General trades versus a specialist
Redoing a failed joint typically 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.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
What sealant work can’t fix
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We will tell you if the real problem is one of these:
- Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint
- Panel boards already damaged by water
- A dripping waste or valve behind a panel
If you’re not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will give you a straight answer.

On site: what to expect
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. For a building near Gairloch, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.

- The fixed quote sets out the rooms, the products and the phasing.
- Old sealant is removed completely and the faces cleaned.
- Each joint is cleaned and left dry.
- New anti-mould sealant goes in and is tooled neat.
- Each area is handed back when ready.

Keeping the joints sound
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Clean sealant with gentle products and a soft cloth
- Squeegee showers and trays after busy periods
- Keep washrooms out of use until we say the sealant has cured
- Share your site rules when you send details
We hand each area back once the silicone has had the cure time the product needs. You’ll be told when showers and basins can be used again and signage stays in place until that time.
Leaks through tray and wet-floor joints can go unseen until a ceiling marks below. By then, other trades may be needed as well, so reseal when you first spot a split.
