About our washroom sealing in Geirinis
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. We are fully insured. Every resealed washroom carries our 12-month guarantee. Most enquiries involve users noticing mouldy joints and shower tray joints that have opened up, across showers, trays and wet room floors, accessible toilets and changing rooms and kitchens and tea points. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Geirinis it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Travel to smaller places like Geirinis is planned so the work is finished on one visit. Photos of each washroom and a count of rooms help us quote and plan.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Surface by surface
IPS and cubicle panels
Panels flex slightly in use so the bead needs to cope with it. We check fixings before sealing.
Changing rooms and gyms
Changing rooms can be phased so one stays open. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
What we can’t put right
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Failed tanking beneath a wet-room floor or behind tiles
- Condensation from failed extract fans
- Leaking pipes, traps, wastes or cisterns, which need a plumber
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Your questions answered
Do you work on the island where Geirinis is?
Yes. Islands are part of our area, Geirinis included. We plan island jobs around the ferry and the forecast, and bring everything the job needs on the first crossing.
What site paperwork comes with a job in Geirinis?
Whatever your site asks for, from RAMS to CSCS details, is confirmed when we quote. We hold £5m public liability insurance, are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, as many construction sites ask for.
How long does a job like this take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
How do you choose the sealant?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Is any job too small?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.

How a job runs
Before we leave any area, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Geirinis. We will confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- We start by inspecting the fittings and joints and flagging problems sealant can’t solve.
- A phasing plan keeps part of the building’s facilities in use at all times.
- 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.
- You get a reopening time for every room, with signage left up until then.
What we need from you
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Agree which areas must stay open

Commercial washrooms in Geirinis
With the shore within about 1 mile, Geirinis counts as a coastal location, and places by the sea often rely on visitors, so their hotels and holiday lets see heavy seasonal use. Heavy seasonal use is hard on shower and basin sealant, and the quieter months are the natural time to reseal. Being in the west of Scotland, Geirinis gets more rain than eastern areas. Damp air means a poorly ventilated washroom rarely dries out fully, which is when mould gets into the sealant.
In any commercial washroom in or near Geirinis, mouldy sealant is cut out rather than cleaned, and anti-mould sanitary silicone goes on clean, dry joints.
Geirinis (Gaelic: Gerinish) is in Na h-Eileanan Siar. We send applicators to Geirinis for washrooms and wet areas. Geirinis is one of 87 places we cover in Na h-Eileanan Siar.
Work on washrooms and wet areas is covered throughout HS8. We cover commercial and managed buildings on Cille Bha'nain and Dun Mor and the roads nearby. Just outside Geirinis, we also work in Creag Ghoraidh (4 miles north), Grimsay (5 miles north-east), Balivanich (8 miles north), Baile a' Mhanaich (8 miles north) and Dalabrog (13 miles south). Island and remote sites need extra planning, with travel, ferry crossings where needed and weather to allow for, so mention the location when you call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.

Common problems we fix in Geirinis
Mop buckets, trolleys and knocks from users damage joints near the floor, especially at floor edges and around urinals and WC pans.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Users noticing mouldy joints
- Stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops
- Sealant stained black around basins and showers
- A new bead over an old one coming away
For buildings around Geirinis, washrooms can be done in phases so some facilities are always open.
What your quote should include
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Their public liability cover
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
Keeping the joints sound
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Add sealant joints to planned maintenance checks
- Clean sealant with gentle products and a soft cloth
- Report faulty extraction promptly
- Report split joints at trays and basins early
Each room goes back into use only when the sealant has cured enough. You’ll be told when showers and basins can be used again and signage stays in place until that time.
Boards behind panels and vanity tops can swell when water gets past a failed joint. Once that happens, a reseal won’t fix them.
