Quoting for work in Gourock
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- How much existing material needs removing
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Whether the work must be split into stages
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote.
Before you send an enquiry
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Your programme or deadline
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- The product your specification calls for
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Washroom sealing in Gourock, done properly
From one staff toilet in Gourock to washrooms across a whole estate, we work the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. Photos and a rough count of basins, urinals, showers and cubicles help us give a quick quote and a site visit is an option. Site teams most often ask us about sealant lifting along a tray edge and washrooms that look worn because of the sealant, on urinals and WCs, IPS panels and cubicles and showers, trays and wet room floors.

Common questions from Gourock clients
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Inverclyde Royal Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Can work at a site such as West College Scotland - Greenock Campus fit around teaching?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we will plan the work around them. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
In many cases, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
How long before the toilets can reopen?
That varies with the sealant and the room temperature. Each room gets its own reopening time from us before we leave it.
Can you clean the mould off instead of resealing?
Surface cleaning won’t reach mould that has rooted into the bead. New anti-mould sanitary silicone is the treatment and check the ventilation isn’t the cause.
Which sealant will you use?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Busy facilities in and around Gourock
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Gourock, and coastal places often have hotels, guest houses and holiday accommodation with busy seasons. Washrooms used guest after guest wear their sanitary silicone faster, and the quieter months are the natural time to reseal. Being in the west of Scotland, Gourock gets more rain than eastern areas. Washrooms with weak extraction stay damp in this climate, and mould finds the silicone first.
For a college such as West College Scotland - Greenock Campus, which lies east of Gourock, half-term and summer give the windows for washroom work. For a hotel such as Spinnaker Hotel, which lies west of Gourock, resealing en suites a few rooms at a time keeps the rest available. Healthcare washrooms on sites such as Inverclyde Royal Hospital, 0.8 miles south-east of Gourock, are resealed area by area, under the site’s own infection-control rules.

Doing it in-house
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
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. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.

How the job changes by surface
Healthcare and care settings
Healthcare work is phased so wards, clinics or residents’ areas keep their facilities. Records you need can be confirmed with the quote.
Basins and vanity tops
Vanity tops and basins are splashed all day, so the wall joint and bowl surrounds tend to fail before anything else. We remove the old bead and lay a fresh one of sanitary silicone.
Why act early in Gourock
Leaving the job until a shutdown often means living with it for months. With phasing, the work can go ahead while most facilities stay open. 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.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
Why appoint us
- Constructionline member for supplier checks
- A range of standard colours, depending on the product
- CHAS accredited contractor
- Colours confirmed for the specified product

After the work
For the best life from the joints:
- Report faulty extraction promptly
- Share your site rules when you send details
- Brief cleaning staff to treat joints gently
- Clear standing water from shower floors where possible
Add washroom sealant to routine inspections. Look for black spotting, cracks, peeling edges and gaps at the busiest fittings and log what you find.
Mould in a joint spreads along the bead and into nearby grout, and complaints follow. Replacing it early keeps the job to a reseal.
