What happens if it’s left?
Washrooms shape how visitors judge a building. Guests, clients, pupils and patients notice stained joints even when the room is otherwise spotless. Fresh sanitary silicone lifts a room with very little disruption. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, giving water time to get in. Resealing early avoids that.
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

Washroom sealing in New Trows
In a busy washroom, the sealant typically gives up long before the tiles or fittings. Basin tops, urinal backs, panel joints and shower trays put it under water, chemicals and daily cleaning and mould that roots into it can’t be cleaned away. We strip it out and lay new anti-mould sanitary silicone. Most enquiries involve stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops and mould spotting along silicone joints, across accessible toilets and changing rooms, IPS panels and cubicles and urinals and WCs. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in New Trows tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
In smaller Scottish places like New Trows, commercial washrooms are typically in hotels, pubs, schools, care homes and community halls. Mould grows into sealant in any wet room that doesn’t dry out, and the answer is removal and a fresh bead of anti-mould silicone.

FAQs: New Trows
Do we have to close all our washrooms in New Trows for resealing?
Not all at once. We take one block of facilities at a time. Sanitary silicone needs time to cure before the area is used, and we will tell you how long for the product used.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Birkwood Castle?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Will all the toilets be closed at once?
We phase it so there are always facilities open. One washroom, one bank of cubicles or one changing room is done at a time around your site hours and access windows.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, which many sites require.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, and you deal with one contact throughout.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so we will ask for the register before work on an older building. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
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.
Honest limits
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Leaking pipes, traps, wastes or cisterns, which need a plumber
- A room that stays damp because ventilation isn’t working
- Panel boards already damaged by water
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Aftercare for building managers
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Don’t leave an open joint at a basin or tray
- Report faulty extraction promptly
- Note failing joints building by building
- Leave signs up until the cure time is over
Squeegeeing showers and trays after heavy use helps. Standing water on a joint all day shortens its life.
A few failed joints can be resealed with hardly any disruption. Left, it tends to become a building-wide job and more closures to manage.
On site: what to expect
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work usually takes a few hours for one toilet block, with bigger buildings phased across a number of visits, and we clear our waste as we work. For a building near New Trows, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- We agree which washrooms close and when.
- Anything behind the joints that needs another trade is flagged.
- Old sealant is stripped and the faces prepared.
- The right sanitary or food-safe sealant is applied.
- We give you a reopening time for every room.
Getting the site ready
- Flag any permit to work we will need

Wet areas in New Trows’s workplaces
New Trows is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Even so, a washroom that doesn’t dry out between uses will see mould get into its sealant.
Pupil toilets at schools like Lesmahagow High School take heavy daily use, and the holidays give the window to reseal. On an industrial estate such as Gateside Industrial Estate, which lies east of New Trows, staff toilets, showers and canteens are where sanitary sealant takes the most wear.

Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Split or peeling sealant at shower trays
- Resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed
- Complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms

For a hall at a building such as Lesmahagow Old Parish Church, resealing the kitchen and toilets can be fitted between bookings.
