About our washroom sealing in Livingston
In a busy washroom, the sealant normally 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 once mould grows into it, it can’t be scrubbed out. We strip it out and lay new anti-mould sanitary silicone. Site teams most often ask us about stained sealant around pans and urinals and washrooms that look worn because of the sealant, on IPS panels and cubicles, kitchens and tea points and showers, trays and wet room floors. For commercial sealant work in Livingston, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Towns the size of Livingston usually have schools, leisure centres, care homes and hotels, all with washrooms. Tired sealant comes out and fresh mould-resistant silicone goes in, in phases so facilities stay open.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Toilets, showers and kitchens around Livingston
Five care or nursing homes sit less than 2 miles from Livingston. Assisted bathrooms and wet rooms in care settings need sanitary sealant that stays cleanable. Work is agreed with the manager, around residents’ routines. Several hotels sit less than 2 miles from Livingston. Hotel en suites take daily use, and tired silicone at trays and basins is one of the first things guests notice.
For a college such as West Lothian College, which lies south of Livingston, half-term and summer give the windows for washroom work. Hotels such as Livingston Lodge Hotel (to the north-west of Livingston) have en suite bathrooms where tired silicone at the bath, tray and basin is replaced room by room. Staff changing rooms and patient toilets at places like Saint John's Hospital, under half a mile south-west of Livingston, need cleanable, sound silicone.

Looking after the joints
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Squeegee showers and trays after busy periods
- Act on the first split you see at a shower tray
- Keep washrooms out of use until we say the sealant has cured
- Include joints in routine washroom inspections
Mild cleaning products and non-abrasive cloths look after sanitary silicone best. Strong acids, solvents and scourers wear the surface over time.
Small numbers of failed joints are quick to phase in. Left until every washroom is affected, it becomes a bigger programme with more phasing to plan.
Cost factors for washrooms and wet areas
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- How much there is to seal
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Travel to remote or island sites
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote.
Before you send an enquiry
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Any specification or named product
- Any dates the work must fit around
To get a fixed quote, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos, telling us the site location and the nature of the job. Our quote form is another easy route.
Doing it in-house
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, 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.
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
When it isn’t the sealant
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- A dripping waste or valve behind a panel
- Leaks through tanking or membranes below the finishes
- A room that stays damp because ventilation isn’t working
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Your questions answered
Do you work in occupied care homes around Livingston?
Yes. We agree rooms and times with the manager and work a few areas at a time. Noise and disruption are kept to a minimum.
Is a hospital such as Saint John's Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
How long do sealant joints last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photographs, drawings or a joint schedule. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a visit.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit usually takes a few hours for one toilet block, with bigger buildings phased across a number of visits. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Which silicone is right for commercial washrooms?
An anti-mould sanitary silicone in the majority of cases. Neutral-cure grades are used where acetoxy types could mark metals, stone or mirror backings.
What will the job cost?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. To get one, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over with a description of the work.

Our process
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked, ready for your sign-off. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. If you manage more than one building in Livingston, they can be grouped. Give us access times for each.
- We agree which washrooms close and when.
- Leaks, loose panels or damp are pointed out first.
- Old sealant is stripped and the faces prepared.
- We reseal with the grade suited to each area.
- We give you a reopening time for every room.
Preparing the site
- Move anything stored against the joints
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

What the job involves on each surface
Kitchens and tea points
Worktop, sink and splashback joints in tea points take water and food. Sound joints keep those surfaces easy to clean.
Wet-room floors and floor-to-wall joints
Changing rooms and accessible showers often have wet floors so the edges are checked carefully.
