Washroom sealing across New Aberdeen
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
How the job changes by surface
Basins and vanity tops
Vanity tops and basins are splashed all day, so the joint to the wall and around each bowl fails early. They are resealed with anti-mould sanitary silicone.
Wet-room floors and floor-to-wall joints
Wet floors are common in accessible showers and changing rooms so the edges are checked carefully.
Washroom sealing for commercial buildings in New Aberdeen
For clinics, hospitals and care homes, sealed joints matter for infection control as much as appearance. Your estates and infection-control requirements, and any permits the site uses, shape how we work. Any records you need are confirmed with the quote. Site teams most often ask us about kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean and mould spotting along silicone joints, on showers, trays and wet room floors, urinals and WCs and vanity units and basins. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in New Aberdeen it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Scottish city buildings, from student residences to hospitals and offices, are full of washrooms and wet areas. We reseal them in phases, agreed with the estates or facilities team.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

What happens if it’s left?
Cleaning mouldy sealant only masks it but the growth is inside the bead and returns. Replacement deals with the cause in the joint and cleaners stop fighting a losing battle. In a tenement or shared city building, water from a failed joint can reach other owners’ property. Fixing it promptly keeps repairs small.
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

Washroom sealing in New Aberdeen: the local picture
New Aberdeen 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, so resealing in the quieter months keeps rooms ready. Plenty of hotels sit less than 2 miles from New Aberdeen. 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.
On a healthcare site such as City Hospital, which lies north-east of New Aberdeen, washroom work starts with the infection-control team’s sign-off. Hotels such as Hotel Metro, under half a mile to the south-west of New Aberdeen, have en suite bathrooms where tired silicone at the bath, tray and basin is replaced room by room.

From enquiry to sign-off
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, with the work itself normally taking half a day to a day per washroom, depending on the number of fittings. University, hospital and office estates in Scotland’s cities have their own permits, inductions and sign-in rules. Tell us the rules and we’ll work to them.
- We inspect each washroom and record the joints to be resealed.
- You get a fixed quote with the phasing plan.
- The whole of the old bead is removed.
- Joints are degreased and dried.
- New anti-mould sealant goes in and is tooled neat.
- Each area is handed back when ready.
Preparing the site
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Move anything stored against the joints

Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.

Common problems we fix in New Aberdeen
Occasionally a joint keeps failing because of a problem behind it: a loose panel, a leaking waste or water coming through the wall. We check for that first and tell you if another trade is needed.
Look out for the following:
- Failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen
- Sealant stained black around basins and showers
- Failed sealant behind washroom basins
- Failed joints along IPS and cubicle panels
Customer toilets in retail centres such as Bon Accord Centre, under half a mile west of New Aberdeen, rarely close, so resealing is phased.

Questions about New Aberdeen
Would you work within a site like City Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Can work in a care setting near New Aberdeen 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.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, let us know and we will send them with the quote.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we’ll confirm it when we quote.
Do you use special sealant for toilets and showers?
Each area gets the grade that suits it. Most washroom joints take sanitary silicone, and food areas take a hygienic, food-safe sealant where food contact is possible.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Doing it in-house
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.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
Cost factors for washrooms and wet areas
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Access and working height
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
What to include in your enquiry
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. It helps to include:
- The type of building and who uses it
- Specification clauses that apply
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Your programme or deadline
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us.
