Washroom sealing for businesses in Kaimes
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
What the job involves on each surface
Changing rooms and gyms
Showers, floor edges and vanity units in changing rooms all need sound sealant, and we survey them together.
Wet-room floors and floor-to-wall joints
Changing rooms and accessible showers often have wet floors, so their perimeter joints get close attention.
Washroom sealing in Kaimes
For clinics, hospitals and care homes, sealed joints matter for infection control as much as appearance. We work to your organisation’s estates and infection-control requirements and any site permits. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote. If you have split or peeling sealant at shower trays and gaps where vanity tops meet the wall, we can help, on kitchens and tea points, showers, trays and wet room floors and accessible toilets and changing rooms alike. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Kaimes, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Scottish city buildings, from student residences to hospitals and offices, are full of washrooms and wet areas. Phased resealing, agreed with the estates or facilities team, keeps buildings working.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Keeping Kaimes washrooms open while we work
The east of Scotland, where Kaimes is, gets less rain than the west. Even so, a washroom that doesn’t dry out between uses will see mould get into its sealant. Kaimes has a number of hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Hotel en suites take daily use, and tired silicone at trays and basins is one of the first things guests notice. Rooms are done in turn so most stay available.
For an occupier at a site such as Eldin Industrial Estate, which lies south-east of Kaimes, the canteen and welfare facilities need cleanable joints as much as any office. At a university such as University of Edinburgh - Little France Campus (1.8 miles north-east of Kaimes), summer is the usual window for resealing residence bathrooms. Pupil toilets at schools like Gracemount High School take heavy daily use, and the holidays give the window to reseal.
Kaimes is about 3 miles south-east of Edinburgh, in Edinburgh. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Kaimes use us for work on washrooms and wet areas, as part of our coverage of Edinburgh. We work across 174 places in Edinburgh.

Among the streets we cover are Tor Lane, Soutra Road and Mansion Lane, and sites on any of them can send details for a fixed quote. Close to Kaimes, our area also takes in Howden Hall (1 mile north), Alnwickhill (1 mile north), Southhouse (1 mile east), Gracemount (1 mile north-east) and Mortonhall (1 mile west). A short drive away, we cover Edinburgh (3 miles north-west), Leith (5 miles north), Bonnington (5 miles north), Greenside (4 miles north), Broughton (4 miles north) and Bellevue (4 miles north).
Around Kaimes
Around Kaimes, our work takes us to commercial buildings near Liberton Parish Church and Drum Park and the streets around them. For rail, the closest station is Shawfair station, roughly 3.2 miles east. A little further out are Craigmillar Castle (2 miles north-east) and Natural History Collections (1.6 miles north). Green spaces nearby include Blackford Hill and The New Leaf Co-op.
Why act early in Kaimes
Running fresh silicone along a failed bead hides the problem briefly. It doesn’t bond, so it peels and traps dirt behind it. Full removal and proper cleaning is what makes the new joint last. In Kaimes, as across Scotland, rain finds any gap, and failed external joints let it into stone walls and around frames. Renewing them early protects the fabric.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

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.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Commercial clients in Kaimes
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
From enquiry to sign-off
We follow your site rules from the start: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact, and each area is checked before we leave it. In a Scottish city, kerbside space and loading need planning, especially near the centre. Shared closes, stairs and the property factor may need to be part of the plan.
- 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.
- We strip out the old bead and clean off the residue left behind.
- We clean and dry every surface so the new sealant can grip.
- 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
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Send your site hours and access windows
Getting a fixed quote
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.

What we can’t put right
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- A room that stays damp because ventilation isn’t working
- Vanity carcasses that have swollen
- Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Kitchens and tea points
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Urinals and WCs
- Vanity units and basins
Common questions from Kaimes clients
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Ellen's Glen Community Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Does a hotel in Kaimes need to shut while its sealant is renewed?
Rarely, if ever. We take a few rooms out at a time. Tell us your quiet periods and access windows and we will plan around them.
Do you work in Kaimes?
Yes. Kaimes is in our area. To discuss a job, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Do you use special sealant for toilets and showers?
Each area gets the grade that suits it. Most washroom joints take sanitary silicone while kitchens may need a food-safe grade.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
