How we handle washroom sealing in Merkinch
Accessible WCs, showers and changing areas have their own pinch points: shower trays, wet-room floor edges, basins and floor-to-wall junctions. Gaps in those places let water get under the floor or behind panels, so we look at them closely. Site teams most often ask us about black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift and users noticing mouldy joints, on kitchens and tea points, accessible toilets and changing rooms and urinals and WCs. Most enquiries from Merkinch start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.

Questions about Merkinch
Can work in a care setting near Merkinch go ahead while residents are there?
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.
Does a hotel in Merkinch need to shut while its sealant is renewed?
Rarely. Rooms or floors are done in turn, so the rest of the hotel keeps trading. Tell us your quiet periods and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
How do we ask for a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work usually takes a morning or so for a small washroom, longer where showers and changing rooms are included. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, with one point of contact.
Is there a guarantee on the work?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship backed by public liability insurance.
Can you send site paperwork?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Common problems we fix in Merkinch
A lot of failed washroom sealant was laid over an old bead or a dirty surface. Silicone won’t adhere to a silicone bead, so it soon lets go.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Gaps where vanity tops meet the wall
- Open joints at the base of cubicle panels
- Sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling
- Users noticing mouldy joints
For a hotel such as AC Hotel by Marriott Inverness, which lies south-east of Merkinch, resealing en suites a few rooms at a time keeps the rest available.
Before you book anyone
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Proof of insurance

When to bring in a specialist
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
Keeping Merkinch washrooms open while we work
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Merkinch, and coastal places often have hotels, guest houses and holiday accommodation with busy seasons. Bathrooms turned round daily in the busy months need sound, cleanable joints, and the quieter months are the natural time to reseal. Three care or nursing homes sit less than 2 miles from Merkinch. In care settings, wet rooms, assisted bathrooms and en suites rely on clean, sound sealant. Rooms are done a few at a time at times agreed with the home.
Toilets at places like Telford Retail Park, less than half a mile south-west of Merkinch, are cleaned constantly, which is hard on silicone. Student showers at universities like University of the Highlands and Islands (to the south-east of Merkinch) see more use than most, and their silicone shows it.
