When to bring in a specialist
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
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.
Washroom sealing for commercial buildings in Mayfield
Our washroom work covers offices, hotels, schools and colleges, leisure centres and gyms, clinics and care homes, along with staff kitchens and tea points. The products and the method are chosen for how heavily each space is used. We work on vanity units and basins, showers, trays and wet room floors and accessible toilets and changing rooms, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are stained sealant around pans and urinals and sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Mayfield it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Hotels and holiday accommodation in rural Scotland have busy and quiet seasons, and resealing washrooms in the quieter months keeps rooms available when they’re needed.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

What we are called out for in Mayfield
Washrooms are warm, damp and full of organic residue, and silicone joints hold onto all three. Anti-mould additives help, but in a poorly ventilated room mould can still take hold eventually.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Urinal joints that look unhygienic
- Kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean
- Gaps where vanity tops meet the wall
- Split or peeling sealant at shower trays
At a university such as Queen Margaret University, 4.4 miles north of Mayfield, summer is the usual window for resealing residence bathrooms.

On site: what to expect
At the end of each section, 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. For a building near Mayfield, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. We will confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- We inspect each washroom and record the joints to be resealed.
- You get a fixed quote with the phasing plan.
- Old sealant is removed completely and the faces cleaned.
- Each joint is cleaned and left dry.
- A sanitary silicone bead is laid and given a smooth tooled finish.
- Rooms reopen after the cure time.
Before we start on site

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
A tired-looking washroom doesn’t always need a refurbishment. Where tiles, panels and fittings are sound, new sealant may be enough to put it right while bigger works are planned. For buildings near Mayfield, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.

Quoting for work in Mayfield
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Distance, for remote addresses
- The product specified
- The total length or number of joints
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
Before you send an enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Specification clauses that apply
- When you need the work done
- The postcode of the building
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
Looking after the joints
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Brief cleaning staff to treat joints gently
- Tell us about infection-control or permit rules before we quote
- Make sure washroom ventilation is running
- Inspect washroom sealant regularly
Mild cleaning products and non-abrasive cloths look after sanitary silicone best. Strong acids, solvents and scourers wear the surface and give mould a start.
In food areas, cleanability is something environmental health officers look at. Failed sealant around sinks and worktops is easy to put right in good time.
Common questions from Mayfield clients
Do you work in occupied care homes around Mayfield?
Yes. We agree rooms and times with the manager and work a few areas at a time. We follow the home’s own procedures throughout.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Midlothian Community Hospital, something you do?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
Often, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
What sealant do you use in washrooms?
Each area gets the grade that suits it. Washrooms and showers take anti-mould sanitary silicone while kitchens may need a food-safe grade.
Will you quote for a small job?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Can you clean the mould off instead of resealing?
Typically not. The mould is inside the silicone so cleaning only lightens it for a while. Replacement is the lasting fix.
Wet areas in Mayfield’s workplaces
Being in the east of Scotland, Mayfield gets less rain than the west coast. Inside, ventilation and use decide how fast washroom sealant moulds, whatever the weather. There are two care or nursing homes within about 2 miles of Mayfield. In a care setting, a mouldy or lifting joint in a wet room is a hygiene issue as much as a cosmetic one. Work is agreed with the manager, around residents’ routines.
Healthcare washrooms on sites such as Midlothian Community Hospital, 2.1 miles west of Mayfield, are resealed area by area, under the site’s own infection-control rules. If you manage an office at a site such as McSence Business Park, which lies west of Mayfield, the washrooms and tea points can be done a floor at a time.
