Looking after the joints
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Add sealant joints to planned maintenance checks
- Report split joints at trays and basins early
- Keep extract fans working and vents clear
- Squeegee showers and trays after busy periods
Ask your cleaning team to use gentle products and soft cloths on sealant. Aggressive descalers, solvents and scouring pads shorten its life over time.
Boards behind panels and vanity tops can swell when water gets past a failed joint. After that, those parts need replacing rather than resealing.

Washroom sealing around Inverleith: what changes locally
Inverleith sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile, and places by the sea often rely on visitors, so their hotels and holiday lets see heavy seasonal use. Bathrooms turned round daily in the busy months need sound, cleanable joints, so resealing in the quieter months keeps rooms ready. The east of Scotland, where Inverleith is, gets less rain than the west. Mould in sanitary sealant comes down to ventilation and use more than the weather outside.
Office toilets at parks like Beaverbank Business Park, 0.8 miles to the east of Inverleith, take steady weekday use, and mouldy silicone soon shows. Customer toilets in retail centres such as Granton Retail Park (1.2 miles north-west of Inverleith) rarely close, so resealing is phased.

FAQs: Inverleith
Do you work in occupied care homes around Inverleith?
Yes, with the manager deciding the order and timing of rooms. Tell us about any infection-control or safeguarding requirements and we’ll work to them.
Would you work within a site like Western General Hospital (Edinburgh)?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
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.
Do you use special sealant for toilets and showers?
Sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives for most washroom joints. Neutral-cure grades are used where acetoxy types could mark metals, stone or mirror backings.
Do you need to remove the old sealant?
The failed bead is always removed. Fresh silicone can’t key to an old bead, so sealing over it soon peels.
How do we ask for a quote?

What sealant work can’t fix
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Swollen or delaminated boards behind panels or vanity tops
- Water from plumbing, not from a joint
- Fittings that move too much to hold a bead
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email us and we will say what we think.

What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.

How the job changes by surface
Kitchens and tea points
In commercial kitchens, smooth, cleanable joints help keep the kitchen hygienic. Where food contact is possible, we use a hygienic, food-safe sealant.
IPS and cubicle panels
IPS panels and cubicle systems have joints at the wall, the floor and the worktop. Those joints protect the boards behind from water.
When to call us in Inverleith
Decorators’ caulk and general sealants sometimes end up where sanitary silicone belongs. They don’t stand up to constant water and they discolour and fail early.
Things that usually lead to an enquiry:
- Stained sealant around pans and urinals
- Shower tray joints that have opened up
- Black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift
- Stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops
On a healthcare site such as Western General Hospital (Edinburgh), 0.9 miles to the west of Inverleith, washroom work starts with the infection-control team’s sign-off.

For premises in Inverleith, tell us about access times, shared entrances and any building rules, 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.
- We reseal with the grade suited to each area.
- We confirm reopening times for each washroom.
