Doing it in-house
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
About our washroom sealing in Marchmont
Our washroom work covers offices, hotels, schools and colleges, leisure centres and gyms, clinics and care homes, along with staff kitchens and tea points. Product and method follow how hard each area is used and cleaned. If you’re dealing with failed joints along IPS and cubicle panels and split or peeling sealant at shower trays, we can put it right, whatever the surface. For commercial sealant work in Marchmont, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Hospitality businesses in Scotland’s cities rely on washrooms and kitchens that look right and clean easily. We use anti-mould silicone in washrooms and food-safe hygienic sealant at kitchen worktops.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Leave it or put it right?
Water gets behind panels and under floors through a failed joint. 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. In a tenement or shared city building, water from a failed joint can reach other owners’ property. Acting early avoids disputes and bigger repairs.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.

What we can’t put right
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Mould caused by poor ventilation, which will return until the extract is fixed
- Vanity carcasses that have swollen
- Fittings that move too much to hold a bead
If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Urinals and WCs
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- Vanity units and basins
- Kitchens and tea points
- IPS panels and cubicles
What the job involves on each surface
Urinals and WC pans
We reseal around urinals and pans with a sanitary grade once the whole of the old bead has gone.
Showers and trays
In staff, hotel and changing-room showers, the tray joint and wall corners take the hardest use. Each bead is stripped, the joint dried and new sealant laid.
Commercial washrooms in Marchmont
Marchmont sits close to the coast, within about 3 miles, and coastal hotels, guest houses and holiday sites tend to fill up in the busy months. Showers and en suites in constant use are where silicone moulds and splits first, so we plan the work for quieter weeks where possible. Plenty of hotels sit less than 2 miles from Marchmont. Hotel en suites take daily use, and tired silicone at trays and basins is one of the first things guests notice.
Toilets at colleges like Royal College of General Practitioners Edinburgh, 1.2 miles north of Marchmont, take heavy use from students and staff alike. For a site such as Astley Ainslie Hospital (0.7 miles south of Marchmont), sanitary joints in clinical areas need sound, cleanable sealant and a careful method. Office toilets at parks like Blackford Business Park (to the south of Marchmont) take steady weekday use, and mouldy silicone soon shows.

Questions about Marchmont
Can you work in a care home near Marchmont with residents in?
Yes. We work around residents’ routines, a room or two at a time. We follow the home’s own procedures throughout.
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as University of Edinburgh?
Yes. Education sites typically want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, let us know and we’ll send them with the quote.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
How long does a typical visit take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
How do we ask for a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.
Keeping the joints sound
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Brief cleaning staff to treat joints gently
- Keep a record of which washrooms need attention
- Keep washrooms out of use until we say the sealant has cured
- Report split joints at trays and basins early
Any failure in our workmanship within the 12-month guarantee is ours to put right. Beyond that, regular checks keep small problems small.
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.
How a job runs
In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed before we move to the next. Give us the access times and building rules for your premises in Marchmont, so the work can be phased and areas kept in use.
