Washroom sealing for Granton sites
Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What sealant work can’t fix
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Hollow tiles or loose panels behind the joint
- Failed tanking beneath a wet-room floor or behind tiles
- Water from plumbing, not from a joint

How we handle washroom sealing in Granton
From one staff toilet in Granton to washrooms across a whole estate, the route is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. A few photos and a count of fittings are enough for a quick quote and a site visit is an option. We work on urinals and WCs, IPS panels and cubicles and kitchens and tea points, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are urinal joints that look unhygienic and complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Granton is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
City hotels, restaurants and bars in Scotland need washrooms that look cared for and kitchens that clean easily. We use anti-mould silicone in washrooms and food-safe hygienic sealant at kitchen worktops.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

FAQs: Granton
Do hotels near Granton have to close for sealant work?
Rarely, if ever. We take a few rooms out at a time. Tell us your quiet periods and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Western General Hospital (Edinburgh)?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
What do you charge?
Each job is quoted on its own details. For yours, call 01277 525 020 or email us with a description of the work.
How do I request a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
Do you guarantee washroom sealing?
Every job carries our 12-month guarantee. It covers our workmanship rather than damage, leaks from plumbing or ventilation problems.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
Whether you’re a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
Different surfaces, different methods
Basins and vanity tops
A failed joint along a vanity unit lets water into the carcass. Prompt resealing keeps the unit sound.
Urinals and WC pans
We reseal around urinals and pans with a sanitary grade after the old bead and residue are removed.
Keeping the joints sound
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Don’t leave an open joint at a basin or tray
- Squeegee showers and trays after busy periods
- Clean sealant with gentle products and a soft cloth
- Respect the cure time before reopening each room
If a joint we sealed fails within 12 months, tell us and we’ll look at it. Beyond that, regular checks keep small problems small.
Mould in a joint spreads along the bead and into nearby grout, and complaints follow. Dealing with it while it’s just the sealant keeps it simple.

Toilets, showers and kitchens around Granton
With the shore within about 1 mile, Granton counts as a coastal location, and coastal places often have hotels, guest houses and holiday accommodation with busy seasons. Showers and en suites in constant use are where silicone moulds and splits first, so we plan the work for quieter weeks where possible. Granton is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Even so, a washroom that doesn’t dry out between uses will see mould get into its sealant.
Toilets at colleges like Edinburgh College - Granton Campus (to the west of Granton) take heavy use from students and staff alike. For a campus such as University of Edinburgh - Lauriston Campus (2.4 miles south-east of Granton), showers in residences and washrooms in teaching blocks can be programmed around term dates.

When to call us in Granton
We often find acrylic caulk or general-purpose sealant in joints that should have sanitary silicone. They aren’t made for constant wetting, and they stain, crack or wash out.
Look out for the following:
- Open joints at the base of cubicle panels
- Washrooms that look worn because of the sealant
- Failed sealant behind washroom basins
- A new bead over an old one coming away
At a hotel such as Granton Hotel, less than half a mile north-east of Granton, the quieter weeks are the time to reseal bathrooms.
What to look for in a quote
- Proof of insurance
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
From enquiry to sign-off
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed before we move to the next. Give us the access times and building rules for your premises in Granton, and we’ll plan the work to suit, phased where areas need to stay in use.
- First, the phasing is agreed so facilities stay open.
- Leaks, loose panels or damp are pointed out first.
- Failed sealant and residue are stripped out.
- The right sanitary or food-safe sealant is applied.
- We confirm reopening times for each washroom.
Getting the site ready
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
