Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
General trades versus a specialist
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.
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
About our washroom sealing in Gorgie
Closing all the facilities in a building isn’t an option. Work is phased by room or by section, so staff, guests or pupils always have somewhere to go. Give us your site hours and access windows and the phasing is planned around them. If you are dealing with black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift and a new bead over an old one coming away, we can help. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Gorgie is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
In Scotland’s cities, university, hospital and office estates have washrooms and wet areas in nearly every building. We reseal them in phases, agreed with the estates or facilities team.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Why deal with it now?
When a washroom looks worn, a refit isn’t the only answer. Where tiles, panels and fittings are sound, new sealant may be enough to put it right for now. In Gorgie, as across Scotland, rain finds any gap, so a split or hardened joint lets water into the wall. Resealing promptly protects the stone and the interior.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.

Commercial clients in Gorgie
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.

What else we do in Gorgie
When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Vanity carcasses that have swollen
- Mould caused by poor ventilation, which will return until the extract is fixed
- Hollow tiles or loose panels behind the joint
If you’re not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- Kitchens and tea points
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- Vanity units and basins
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Urinals and WCs
Your questions answered
Does a hotel in Gorgie 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.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Royal Edinburgh Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Is it possible to just clean mouldy silicone?
Not for long. Mould grows into the sealant itself so cleaning only lightens it for a while. Replacement is the lasting fix.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, with one point of contact across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
Can washrooms stay open while you work?
The work is phased so there are always facilities open. One washroom, one bank of cubicles or one changing room is done at a time. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Can you reseal washrooms in healthcare buildings?
Yes. Your infection-control rules, estates requirements and permits are followed, and phase the work so areas keep facilities.
Which silicone is right for commercial washrooms?
An anti-mould sanitary silicone in most cases. Neutral-cure grades are used where acetoxy types could mark metals, stone or mirror backings.
How a job runs
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work typically takes a few hours for one toilet block, with bigger buildings phased across a number of visits, and we clear our waste as we work. Give us the access times and building rules for your premises in Gorgie, so the work can be phased and areas kept in use.
- We agree which washrooms close and when.
- Anything behind the joints that needs another trade is flagged.
- Failed sealant and residue are stripped out.
- The right sanitary or food-safe sealant is applied.
- We confirm reopening times for each washroom.
Preparing the site
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions

Advice
Quoting for work in Gorgie
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Which sealant the job calls for
- How much there is to seal
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
What to include in your enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The type of building and who uses it
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
To get a fixed quote, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with the site address and an outline of the work. Our quote form is another easy route.
Commercial washrooms in Gorgie
Gorgie lies within about 3 miles of the sea, and coastal hotels, guest houses and holiday sites tend to fill up in the busy months. Heavy seasonal use is hard on shower and basin sealant, which is why off-season resealing makes sense. There are seven care or nursing homes within about 2 miles of Gorgie. Assisted bathrooms and wet rooms in care settings need sanitary sealant that stays cleanable. Each room is kept out of use only as long as the sealant needs.
At a college such as Royal College of General Practitioners Edinburgh, 2 miles to the north-east of Gorgie, washroom and kitchen sealant is best renewed in the holidays or in phases during term. For a hotel such as Tynecastle Park Hotel (less than half a mile north of Gorgie), resealing en suites a few rooms at a time keeps the rest available. Student showers at universities like Edinburgh Napier University - Merchiston Campus, 0.7 miles east of Gorgie, see more use than most, and their silicone shows it.
Gorgie is about 1 mile south-west of Edinburgh, in Edinburgh. Any commercial site in Gorgie is covered, for single jobs and planned programmes alike. Gorgie is one of 174 places in Edinburgh on our list for washrooms and wet areas.
