Washroom sealing across Harray
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Different surfaces, different methods
Showers and trays
If a tray moves too much or is cracked, it needs attention first, and we’ll say so before resealing.
Wet-room floors and floor-to-wall joints
Sealant at a wet-room floor edge is not a substitute for the waterproofing underneath and point it out if water appears to rise from below.
Washroom sealing for commercial buildings in Harray
In a busy washroom, the sealant usually gives up long before the tiles or fittings. Around basins, urinals, cubicles, IPS panels and shower trays it takes water, soap, cleaning chemicals and knocks every day and mould that roots into it can’t be cleaned away. The fix is to remove it completely and reseal with sanitary silicone containing anti-mould additives. We work on urinals and WCs, accessible toilets and changing rooms and kitchens and tea points, and what we’re called in for most is washrooms that look worn because of the sealant and sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling. Most enquiries from Harray start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Around smaller places such as Harray, washrooms and kitchens are found in hotels, pubs, schools, care homes and halls. Mould grows into sealant in any wet room that doesn’t dry out, and the answer is removal and a fresh bead of anti-mould silicone.

Signs you need washroom sealing in Harray
Occasionally a joint keeps failing because of a problem behind it: loose fixings, a dripping trap or damp in the wall. We look for it before resealing and say if it needs a plumber or another trade.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift
- Shower tray joints that have opened up
- Failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen
- Users noticing mouldy joints
In any commercial washroom in or near Harray, mouldy sealant is cut out rather than cleaned, and anti-mould sanitary silicone goes on clean, dry joints.
Before you book anyone
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
Why deal with it now?
Bleaching black sealant may lighten it for a few days but the growth is inside the bead and returns. Replacement deals with the cause in the joint and cleaners stop fighting a losing battle. For buildings near Harray, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.

Washroom sealing in Harray: the local picture
Harray lies within about 2 miles of the sea, and coastal places often have hotels, guest houses and holiday accommodation with busy seasons. Washrooms used guest after guest wear their sanitary silicone faster, which is why off-season resealing makes sense. Being in the east of Scotland, Harray gets less rain than the west coast. Even so, a washroom that doesn’t dry out between uses will see mould get into its sealant.
Church halls and community buildings, such as those at Grimeston Congregational Chapel, have kitchens and toilets used by many groups, and their sanitary sealant works hard.
Harray is about 9 miles north-west of Kirkwall, in the Orkney Islands. Our applicators travel to Harray for work on washrooms and wet areas, handled exactly as we handle every other area. Harray is one of 51 places we cover in the Orkney Islands.
If you need washroom sealing in KW17, the process matches everywhere else we work: details, then a fixed price, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. If your building is just outside Harray, we cover Bimbister (1 mile south), Russland (1 mile west), Grimeston (2 miles south), Hourston (2 miles north-west) and Wasbister (3 miles south-west). Remote and island addresses take more planning, from travel and ferries to the weather, so give the site location in your enquiry.

Questions about Harray
Will you travel to Harray on the island?
Yes, Harray is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of Scotland. We group island work where we can and plan around the crossings.
Do we have to close all our washrooms in Harray for resealing?
Typically only some of them, for a short time. We work in phases so other facilities stay open. Sanitary silicone needs time to cure before the area is used, and we will tell you how long for the product used.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Will cleaning remove black mould from sealant?
Typically not. Mould grows into the sealant itself so cleaning only lightens it for a while. Replacing the bead is the lasting answer.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Is there a guarantee on the work?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship backed by public liability insurance.
How a job runs
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work usually takes half a day to a day per washroom, depending on the number of fittings. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Harray is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- We start by inspecting the fittings and joints and flagging problems sealant can’t solve.
- A phasing plan keeps part of the building’s facilities in use at all times.
- Failed silicone is removed completely and the surfaces cleaned of every trace.
- Joints are cleaned, degreased and dried before sealing.
- New sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives goes in and is tooled neat.
- Each room is handed back once the sealant has had its cure time.
Getting the site ready
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Let us know about inductions and permits

Advice
After the work
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Leave signs up until the cure time is over
- Photograph and log failed joints across the estate
- Don’t leave an open joint at a basin or tray
- Tell us about infection-control or permit rules before we quote
Squeegeeing showers and trays after heavy use helps. Joints that sit wet for hours fail sooner.
A few failed joints can be resealed with hardly any disruption. Left, it tends to become a building-wide job and more closures to manage.
