Washroom sealing for commercial buildings in Gorthleck
Not every silicone belongs in a washroom. Sanitary silicone contains additives that resist mould, and neutral-cure types are used where acetoxy silicone could attack some metals, stone or mirror backings. Where food contact is possible, we use a hygienic, food-safe grade. The enquiries we see most involve stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops and open joints at the base of cubicle panels, on kitchens and tea points, IPS panels and cubicles and vanity units and basins. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Gorthleck, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
In smaller Scottish places like Gorthleck, commercial washrooms are typically in hotels, pubs, schools, care homes and community halls. Black sealant typically can’t be cleaned, so it is removed and replaced with anti-mould sanitary silicone.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Why it’s worth doing now in Gorthleck
Running fresh silicone along a failed bead hides the problem briefly. It doesn’t bond, so it peels and traps dirt behind it. Full removal and proper cleaning is what makes the new joint last. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, giving water time to get in. Resealing early avoids that.
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote.

When to bring in a specialist
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Redoing a failed joint normally 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.
Cost factors for washrooms and wet areas
What shapes the price:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- How much existing material needs removing
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 we need to price the job
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Send us:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.

- Sealant stained black around basins and showers
- Urinal joints that look unhygienic
- Failed sealant behind washroom basins
- Failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen
Around Gorthleck, washroom joints are resealed by removing the old silicone completely and laying anti-mould sanitary silicone on dry surfaces.
