How we handle washroom sealing in Ganavan
Black spotting along a sealant bead is not a cleaning problem. The mould has rooted into the silicone itself, which is why it comes back however often it is treated. Replacing the bead is the lasting treatment. We work on accessible toilets and changing rooms, vanity units and basins and urinals and WCs, and what we are called in for most is kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean and black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift. Most enquiries from Ganavan 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.
Travel to smaller places like Ganavan is planned so the work is finished on one visit. Photos of each washroom and a count of rooms help us quote and plan.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Argyll and Bute. If an installation problem shows up, phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we will arrange a return visit.

- Site requirements such as inductions and permits

What we need to price the job
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- Specification clauses that apply
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- When you need the work done
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. To get it moving, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
When to call us in Ganavan
Cubicle panels, IPS panels and vanity units flex when people lean on them or doors are slammed and trays shift slightly with each user. If the joint wasn’t laid to take that movement, it tears or peels away.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops
- Shower tray joints that have opened up
- Open joints at the base of cubicle panels
- Mould spotting along silicone joints
Clinical washrooms at sites like Lorn and Islands Hospital (2.5 miles south of Ganavan) are scheduled with the ward so the room is out of use for as little time as possible.
What to look for in a quote
- Their public liability cover
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- How they’ll work around occupants
- What site paperwork they can supply
Aftercare for building managers
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Report split joints at trays and basins early
- Squeegee showers and trays after busy periods
- Note failing joints building by building
- Share your site rules when you send details
Where possible, have shower floors and trays squeegeed after busy periods. Joints that sit wet for hours fail sooner.
Mould in a joint spreads along the bead and into nearby grout and users notice. Replacing it early keeps the job to a reseal.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Jobs near Ganavan are often grouped with others in the same area. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- First, the phasing is agreed so facilities stay open.
- Anything behind the joints that needs another trade is flagged.
- Failed sealant and residue are stripped out.
- We reseal with the grade suited to each area.
- We confirm reopening times for each washroom.
Preparing the site
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Warn occupants and staff about the work

Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Share whatever details you have and we’ll fill any gaps with a visit.
Advice
What we can’t put right
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- A dripping waste or valve behind a panel
- Failed tanking beneath a wet-room floor or behind tiles
- Mould caused by poor ventilation, which will return until the extract is fixed
If you’re not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Busy facilities in and around Ganavan
With the shore within about 1 mile, Ganavan counts as a coastal location, 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 resealing in the quieter months keeps rooms ready. Being in the west of Scotland, Ganavan gets more rain than eastern areas. Washrooms with weak extraction stay damp in this climate, and mould finds the silicone first.
For a school such as Oban High School, washroom and kitchen sealant can be renewed around term dates. At a hotel such as Muthu Queens Oban Hotel (1.2 miles south of Ganavan), the quieter weeks are the time to reseal bathrooms.

Ganavan: questions and answers
Do hotels near Ganavan have to close for sealant work?
Rarely, if ever. We take a few rooms out at a time. Housekeeping and our team agree each day’s rooms.
Is a smaller place like Ganavan outside your area?
Not at all. Ganavan is within our area. 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.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit typically takes a few hours for one toilet block, with bigger buildings phased across a number of visits. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
Can you quote from photos?
It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, and bigger or more complex jobs usually get a visit.

It works in four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
