Washroom sealing for commercial buildings in Gourdon
In a commercial washroom, sealant is usually the first thing to wear out. Around basins, urinals, cubicles, IPS panels and shower trays it takes water, soap, cleaning chemicals and knocks every day, and once mould grows into it, it can’t be scrubbed out. We strip it out and lay new anti-mould sanitary silicone. We work on showers, trays and wet room floors, kitchens and tea points and vanity units and basins, and what we’re called in for most is sealant stained black around basins and showers and panel joints letting water behind. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Gourdon tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
In smaller Scottish places like Gourdon, commercial washrooms are typically in hotels, pubs, schools, care homes and community halls. Black sealant usually can’t be cleaned, so it is removed and replaced with anti-mould sanitary silicone.

Wet areas in Gourdon’s workplaces
Gourdon sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile, 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. Gourdon is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Even so, a washroom that doesn’t dry out between uses will see mould get into its sealant.
Hotels such as Salutation Hotel, 1.1 miles north of Gourdon, have en suite bathrooms where tired silicone at the bath, tray and basin is replaced room by room. Halls linked to places like Old Parish Church And Churchyard host groups all week, which is hard on kitchen and toilet sealant.
Gourdon is about 10 miles north-east of Montrose, in Aberdeenshire. We cover Gourdon and the rest of Aberdeenshire, and jobs here get the same fixed quote and 12-month guarantee as anywhere else. Gourdon is one of 179 places in Aberdeenshire on our list for washrooms and wet areas. We also cover Aberdeen, around 23 miles from Gourdon.

On site: what to expect
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, and the work typically takes half a day to a day per washroom, depending on the number of fittings. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Gourdon is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photos, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- Every washroom is checked joint by joint, with loose panels, leaks or damp noted for the right trade.
- The phasing is agreed so there are always facilities open.
- Failed silicone is removed completely and the surfaces cleaned of every trace.
- 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.
- Rooms reopen after the product’s cure time, and we move to the next.
Before we start on site
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in

FAQs: Gourdon
Must every washroom in our Gourdon building shut while you work?
Typically only some of them, for a short time. We work in phases so other facilities stay open. We’ll tell you the curing time for the product before we start.
Is Gourdon too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across every Scottish council area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you clean the mould off instead of resealing?
Not for long. The mould is inside the silicone so cleaning only lightens it for a while. Replacing the bead is the lasting answer.
How long before the toilets can reopen?
The silicone needs time to cure before water reaches it. We plan the phasing around that so facilities are never short.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Requirements differ from site to site, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.
Who decides which product is used?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
How long do sealant joints last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
What happens if it’s left?
Bleaching black sealant may lighten it for a few days, but the mould is rooted in the silicone and comes back. Replacement deals with the cause in the joint and your cleaning team stops chasing it. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, so it’s worth renewing joints around Gourdon before they leak.
A quote for washrooms and wet areas depends on quantities, condition and access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.

When to call us in Gourdon
Occasionally a joint keeps failing because of a problem behind it: a loose panel, a leaking waste or water coming through the wall. We look for it before resealing and tell you if another trade is needed.
Clients normally get in touch after noticing something like this:
- Open joints along basins and vanity units
- Users noticing mouldy joints
- Sealant lifting along a tray edge
- Resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed
Office toilets at parks like Linton Business Park (under half a mile north of Gourdon) take steady weekday use, and mouldy silicone soon shows.
Before you book anyone
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
Different surfaces, different methods
IPS and cubicle panels
A panel that has already swollen won’t be fixed by sealant and we will point out any we see.
Kitchens and tea points
Kitchen joints need to be smooth and sealed so they can be cleaned properly. Food-safe sealants are used where food may touch the joint.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
