Washroom sealing for commercial buildings in Maxton
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. Most enquiries involve failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen and sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling, on showers, trays and wet room floors, vanity units and basins and accessible toilets and changing rooms. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Maxton is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Hotels and holiday accommodation in rural Scotland have busy and quiet seasons, so washroom work is often best planned for quieter months.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

After the work
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Clean sealant with gentle products and a soft cloth
- Include joints in routine washroom inspections
- Don’t leave trays and floors sitting wet
- Photograph and log failed joints across the estate
Ventilation is half the battle. Constant damp lets mould take hold even on anti-mould grades so report fans that aren’t working to your building services team.
Small numbers of failed joints are quick to phase in. Left, it tends to become a building-wide job with more phasing to plan.
Our process
At the end of each section, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Where we can, we combine work around Maxton with other jobs nearby. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- Every room is surveyed and the failed joints listed.
- You get a fixed quote with the phasing plan.
- The whole of the old bead is removed.
- Joints are degreased and dried.

Advice
What the job involves on each surface
Kitchens and tea points
Staff kitchens and tea points have joints at worktops, sinks and splashbacks. Sealed joints leave no gaps for food and dirt.
Showers and trays
If a tray moves too much or is cracked, it needs attention first, and we will say so before resealing.
What happens if it’s left?
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. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Maxton. Send photos and we’ll quote for everything together.
Pricing washrooms and wet areas depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Call for a quote.

Wet areas in Maxton’s workplaces
The east of Scotland, where Maxton is, gets less rain than the west. Inside, ventilation and use decide how fast washroom sealant moulds, whatever the weather.
Office toilets at parks like Tweed Horizons Business Centre, 1.9 miles north-west of Maxton, take steady weekday use, and mouldy silicone soon shows. For a hall at a building such as Maxton Kirk, resealing the kitchen and toilets can be fitted between bookings. En suites at hotels like Buccleuch Arms Hotel (1.4 miles west of Maxton) are cleaned daily, which wears silicone over time.

Questions about Maxton
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like Borders College - Newtown St Boswells Campus?
Yes. Education sites usually 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.
Is a smaller place like Maxton outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
Do you use special sealant for toilets and showers?
It depends on the joint. Washrooms and showers take anti-mould sanitary silicone while kitchens may need a food-safe grade.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Do you guarantee washroom sealing?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship backed by public liability insurance.
Will you quote for a small job?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Photos and a description are enough to start.
