How the job changes by surface
Urinals and WC pans
Urinal backs, troughs and slab joints are resealed with sanitary silicone once the whole of the old bead has gone.
Showers and trays
A tray flexes every time it’s used and is constantly wet. Tray perimeters are a frequent source of leaks.
Washroom sealing for commercial buildings in Miabhaig
Not every silicone belongs in a washroom. Sanitary silicone contains additives that resist mould, and neutral-cure types are used where acetoxy silicone could attack some metals, stone or mirror backings. Where food contact is possible, we use a hygienic, food-safe grade. We work on accessible toilets and changing rooms, vanity units and basins and urinals and WCs, and what we are called in for most is complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms and open joints at the base of cubicle panels. Most enquiries from Miabhaig start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Travel to smaller places like Miabhaig is planned so the work is finished on one visit. Send photographs and a room list and we’ll give a fixed quote.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Common questions from Miabhaig clients
What site paperwork comes with a job in Miabhaig?
We will confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details, with the quote. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with £5m public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators.
Will the toilets in our Miabhaig building be out of use?
Rarely all at once: work is phased so some facilities are always available. We’ll tell you the curing time for the product before we start.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
In many cases, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
How long does a typical visit take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
How do you choose the sealant?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, which many sites require.
How do we ask for a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form. Include photographs or drawings if you have them.
Should maintenance staff do it?
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Leave it or put it right?
Leaving the job until a shutdown often means living with it for months. With phasing, the work can go ahead while most facilities stay open. Around smaller places like Miabhaig, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Resealing early avoids that.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.

What sealant work can’t fix
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Loose panels, vanity units or tiles, which need fixing first
- Leaks through tanking or membranes below the finishes
- Panel boards already damaged by water
If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- Urinals and WCs
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Vanity units and basins
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- Kitchens and tea points
Looking after the joints
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Keep extract fans working and vents clear
- Don’t leave trays and floors sitting wet
- Respect the cure time before reopening each room
- Clean sealant with gentle products and a soft cloth
If a joint we sealed fails within 12 months, tell us and we will look at it. After that, a routine look catches failing joints early.
A few failed joints can be resealed with hardly any disruption. Left, it tends to become a building-wide job with more phasing to plan.
From enquiry to sign-off
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 Miabhaig, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. We’ll confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- We inspect each washroom and record the joints to be resealed.
