Washroom sealing in Gremista, done properly
For clinics, hospitals and care homes, sealed joints matter for infection control as much as appearance. Your estates and infection-control requirements, and any permits the site uses, shape how we work. Tell us what records you need and we will confirm with the quote. We work on vanity units and basins, urinals and WCs and accessible toilets and changing rooms, and what we’re called in for most is stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops and panel joints letting water behind. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Gremista is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Travel to smaller places like Gremista is planned so the work is finished on one visit. Photos of each washroom and a count of rooms help us quote and plan.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant.

Cost factors for washrooms and wet areas
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- The product specified
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
A quote for washrooms and wet areas depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.
What we need to price the job
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to call 01277 525 020 or email us.
What else we do in Gremista
Your questions answered
Would you work within a site like Montfield Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Can you take on a job in Gremista, on the island?
Yes. We cover the whole of Scotland, and that includes island locations such as Gremista. We group island work where we can and plan around the crossings.
Can you clean the mould off instead of resealing?
Not for long. Mould grows into the sealant itself, so it comes back however often it’s cleaned. Replacing the bead is the lasting answer.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Can washrooms stay open while you work?
We phase it 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.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
It depends on the product specified. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Common problems we fix in Gremista
Panels and vanity units move slightly in use, and shower trays shift under foot. A bead that can’t cope with the movement splits along one edge.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen
- Sealant stained black around basins and showers
- Open joints at the base of cubicle panels
- Urinal joints that look unhygienic
Welfare facilities in units on estates such as Lower Black Hill Industrial Estate, less than half a mile south-west of Gremista, have showers, toilets and kitchens with sealant that works hard.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- The named product and why it was chosen
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
Looking after the joints
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Report split joints at trays and basins early
- Inspect washroom sealant regularly
- Photograph and log failed joints across the estate
- Clear standing water from shower floors where possible
Add washroom sealant to routine inspections. Check for mould spots, splits, lifting edges and open joints at trays, basins and urinals and log what you find.
Mould in a joint spreads along the bead and into nearby grout and users notice. Dealing with it while it’s just the sealant keeps it simple.
Owners, agents and contractors
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules.
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.
How a job runs
We follow your site rules from the start: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. Once we are cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Gremista. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- 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.
- We reseal with the grade suited to each area.
- We confirm reopening times for each washroom.
Preparing the site
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need

Honest limits
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Condensation from failed extract fans
- Panel boards already damaged by water
- Failed tanking beneath a wet-room floor or behind tiles
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Vanity units and basins
- Kitchens and tea points
- Urinals and WCs
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
Busy facilities in and around Gremista
With the shore within about 1 mile, Gremista counts as a coastal location, and coastal hotels, guest houses and holiday sites tend to fill up in the busy months. Bathrooms turned round daily in the busy months need sound, cleanable joints, which is why off-season resealing makes sense. Being on an island, Gremista means planning around ferry times as well as the weather. Photos and a room list let us plan the visit around the crossings.
At a hotel such as The Shetland Hotel, 0.6 miles to the south of Gremista, the quieter weeks are the time to reseal bathrooms. Clinical washrooms at sites like Montfield Hospital, 1.2 miles to the south of Gremista, are scheduled with the ward so the room is out of use for as little time as possible.
Gremista is about 1 mile north of Lerwick, in the Shetland Islands. We cover commercial sites throughout Gremista. 63 places across the Shetland Islands fall within our area, Gremista among them.
Postcode districts covered here: ZE1 for washrooms and wet areas. Streets here include Gremista Road, Arlanda Yard and Holmsgarth Brae. Just outside Gremista, we also work in Heogan (1 mile east), Lerwick (1 mile south), Sound (2 miles south), Gunnista (2 miles east) and Veensgarth (2 miles west). Remote and island addresses take more planning, from travel and ferries to the weather, so mention the location when you give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
