How we handle washroom sealing in Lathones
Washroom joints need the right sealant, not whatever is to hand. Sanitary grades carry anti-mould additives, and neutral-cure versions avoid the damage acetoxy types can do to some metals, stone and mirror backings. Where food contact is possible, we use a hygienic, food-safe grade. We work on IPS panels and cubicles, vanity units and basins and showers, trays and wet room floors, and what we are called in for most is sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling and sealant stained black around basins and showers. Whoever orders the work in Lathones, the brief is normally the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Around smaller places such as Lathones, washrooms and kitchens are found in hotels, pubs, schools, care homes and halls. Black sealant usually can’t be cleaned, so it is removed and replaced with anti-mould sanitary silicone.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

For managing agents and facilities managers
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. Programme, specification and site rules come first, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
Wet areas in Lathones’s workplaces
Being in the east of Scotland, Lathones gets less rain than the west coast. Inside, ventilation and use decide how fast washroom sealant moulds, whatever the weather.
Church halls and community buildings, such as those at Largoward Parish Church, have kitchens and toilets used by many groups, and their sanitary sealant works hard. Healthcare estates like St Andrews Community Hospital (5.1 miles north of Lathones) expect contractors to follow their permits and cleaning rules in every washroom.
Lathones is about 5 miles south of St Andrews, in Fife. Lathones sits inside our coverage, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. Our Fife coverage takes in 132 places. Sites around Dundee have their own page, about 16 miles away.

What happens if it’s left?
A failed joint behind a basin or along a shower tray lets water run where it shouldn’t. In a commercial building that can mean damaged boards, stained ceilings on the floor below and odours, and fixing that takes far more work than resealing. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Lathones. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

Different surfaces, different methods
Changing rooms and gyms
Showers, floor edges and vanity units in changing rooms all need sound sealant and we look at them as one job.
Wet-room floors and floor-to-wall joints
Sealant at a wet-room floor edge is not a substitute for the waterproofing underneath, and we’ll say if the trouble looks to be beneath the floor.
What affects the price in Lathones
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- How much there is to seal
- Access and working height
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
Sending details for a quote
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Any dates the work must fit around
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- The type of building and who uses it
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. The first step is to phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with what you know.

Doing it in-house
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Common questions from Lathones clients
Will all the washrooms in our Lathones building be closed at once?
Not all at once. We take one block of facilities at a time. We will tell you the curing time for the product before we start.
Is Lathones too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Lathones is within our area. We cover the whole of Scotland. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we’ll confirm it when we quote.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
That depends on the product specified. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
How long will the new sealant last?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Can washrooms stay open while you work?
Just the room being resealed is out of use. Rooms go back into use once the sealant has cured and we start the next.
