Washroom sealing in Gauldry
We reseal washrooms and wet areas in offices, hotels, schools, universities, gyms, healthcare buildings and care homes, plus the kitchens and tea points that go with them. Product and method follow how hard each area is used and cleaned. If you have discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans and resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed, we can put it right, on kitchens and tea points, showers, trays and wet room floors and urinals and WCs alike. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Gauldry is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Around smaller places such as Gauldry, washrooms and kitchens are found in hotels, pubs, schools, care homes and halls. Mould grows into sealant in any wet room that doesn’t dry out, and the answer is removal and a fresh bead of anti-mould silicone.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

What sealant work can’t fix
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Panel boards already damaged by water
- Loose panels, vanity units or tiles, which need fixing first
- Failed tanking beneath a wet-room floor or behind tiles
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Urinals and WCs
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Vanity units and basins
- Kitchens and tea points
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
Should maintenance staff do it?
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, 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.
Cost factors for washrooms and wet areas
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- How much there is to seal
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- How much existing material needs removing
- Working within restricted access windows
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Details that help us quote
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Clear photos of the problem areas
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
Our process
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we are in, keep walkways clear and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. Jobs near Gauldry are often grouped with others in the same area. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- We survey each room, count the joints and note anything behind them that needs another trade.
- We agree which rooms close and when, so users always have somewhere to go.
- We strip out the old bead and clean off the residue left behind.
- Each joint is degreased and left dry, because silicone won’t bond to damp or soapy surfaces.
- We lay a sanitary silicone bead and tool it smooth so it is easy to clean.
- Each room is handed back once the sealant has had its cure time.
What we need from you
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Confirm the product named in the specification

Your questions answered
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Dundee Dental Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Is a smaller place like Gauldry outside your area?
No. Places such as Gauldry are covered as much as the big towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do you take on small jobs?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
How many days will you need on site?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
What do you charge?
There isn’t a price list, as every site differs. Send photographs or drawings and we’ll price it at a fixed figure.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
How long before the toilets can reopen?
Cure times vary by product and temperature. Each room gets its own reopening time from us before we leave it.
Work for main contractors and building owners
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Gauldry can form part of a wider programme.
Why it’s worth doing now in Gauldry
A failed joint behind a basin or along a shower tray lets water run where it shouldn’t. In a commercial building that can mean damaged boards, stained ceilings on the floor below and odours, and fixing that takes far more work than resealing. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, giving water time to get in. Early resealing prevents it.
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.

Keeping Gauldry washrooms open while we work
Gauldry lies within about 1 mile of the sea, and places by the sea often rely on visitors, so their hotels and holiday lets see heavy seasonal use. Bathrooms turned round daily in the busy months need sound, cleanable joints, so resealing in the quieter months keeps rooms ready. The east of Scotland, where Gauldry is, gets less rain than the west. Mould in sanitary sealant comes down to ventilation and use more than the weather outside.
Where you are responsible for a hall attached to a building such as Gauldry Parish Church, its kitchen and toilets need sealant that stays cleanable. Student showers at universities like University of Dundee, 4 miles to the north of Gauldry, see more use than most, and their silicone shows it. Clinical washrooms at sites like Dundee Dental Hospital, 4.1 miles north of Gauldry, are scheduled with the ward so the room is out of use for as little time as possible.
