Washroom sealing for commercial buildings in Marybank
In a busy washroom, the sealant typically gives up long before the tiles or fittings. Basin tops, urinal backs, panel joints and shower trays put it under water, chemicals and daily cleaning, and once mould grows into it, it can’t be scrubbed out. The fix is to remove it completely and reseal with sanitary silicone containing anti-mould additives. We work on kitchens and tea points, showers, trays and wet room floors and vanity units and basins, 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.

How the quote is worked out
Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:
- How much there is to seal
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Access and working height
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
Details that help us quote
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- The type of building and who uses it
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Any specification or named product
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.
Leave it or put it right?
Open or mouldy joints are hard to keep hygienic, and in kitchens, clinics and schools that is a real concern. A smooth, sealed joint can be cleaned properly. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, and for a smaller place like Marybank, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
There’s no price list, 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.

Sanitary sealant for Marybank buildings
Marybank is within about 1 mile of the coast, and coastal places often have hotels, guest houses and holiday accommodation with busy seasons. Showers and en suites in constant use are where silicone moulds and splits first, and the quieter months are the natural time to reseal. A number of hotels sit less than 2 miles from Marybank. En suite bathrooms, staff changing rooms and kitchens all need their sanitary silicone renewed in time. The work can go floor by floor, agreed with housekeeping.
Units at estates like Marybank Industrial Estate, under half a mile east of Marybank, have welfare blocks whose showers and toilets see shift after shift. En suites at hotels like Royal Hotel, 1.2 miles to the south-east of Marybank, are cleaned daily, which wears silicone over time.
Marybank is about 1 mile west of Stornoway, in Na h-Eileanan Siar. Any commercial site in Marybank is covered, for single jobs and planned programmes alike. Marybank is one of 87 places we cover in Na h-Eileanan Siar for washrooms and wet areas.
Work on washrooms and wet areas is covered throughout HS2 and HS1, for business premises of every kind. For a building on Bennadrove Road, Airidhean Ur and Macgregor Park or nearby, we can quote for washrooms and wet areas. If your building is just outside Marybank, we cover Laxdale (1 mile north-east), Stornoway (1 mile east), Newmarket (1 mile north-east), Plasterfield (2 miles east) and Sandwick (2 miles east). Island and remote sites need extra planning, with travel, ferry crossings where needed and weather to allow for, so give the site location in your enquiry.
Local landmarks in Marybank
Nearby you’ll also find Museum Nan Eilean (1 mile south-east) and Western Isles Hospital (1.3 miles east). Open spaces near Marybank include Loch Àirigh na Lic and Ben Barvas.
General trades versus a specialist
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.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Signs you need washroom sealing in Marybank
Cubicle panels, IPS panels and vanity units flex when people lean on them or doors are slammed, and shower trays shift under foot. A bead that can’t cope with the movement splits along one edge.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed
- Panel joints letting water behind
- Failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen
- Mould spotting along silicone joints
At a hospital like Western Isles Hospital, which lies east of Marybank, patient and staff washrooms are best done in short phases agreed with the ward.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
Your questions answered
Will you travel to Marybank on the island?
Yes. We work across every Scottish council area, and that includes island locations such as Marybank. We group island work where we can and plan around the crossings.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Western Isles Hospital, something you do?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Do you use special sealant for toilets and showers?
Each area gets the grade that suits it. Washrooms and showers take anti-mould sanitary silicone, and food areas take a hygienic, food-safe sealant where food contact is possible.
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.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so we will ask for the register before work on an older building. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
