How we handle washroom sealing in Newbigging
From one staff toilet in Newbigging to washrooms across a whole estate, the route is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. Photos and a rough count of basins, urinals, showers and cubicles help us give a quick quote, or we can arrange a visit. We work on accessible toilets and changing rooms, showers, trays and wet room floors and urinals and WCs, and what we are called in for most is discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans and mould spotting along silicone joints. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Newbigging, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Around smaller places such as Newbigging, washrooms and kitchens are found in hotels, pubs, schools, care homes and 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.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

On site: what to expect
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work usually takes a morning or so for a small washroom, longer where showers and changing rooms are included, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Where we can, we combine work around Newbigging with other jobs nearby, to make the most of each trip. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- We agree which washrooms close and when.
- Anything behind the joints that needs another trade is flagged.
- Failed sealant and residue are stripped out.
- We reseal with the grade suited to each area.
- We give you a reopening time for every room.
Before we start on site
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Send your site hours and access windows

Advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchens and tea points
Staff kitchens and tea points have joints at worktops, sinks and splashbacks. Sound joints keep those surfaces easy to clean.
IPS and cubicle panels
Swollen or delaminated boards need replacing, and any we come across will be pointed out.
Common problems we fix in Newbigging
Sometimes the sealant fails because something behind it is moving or wet: a loose panel, a leaking waste or water coming through the wall. We look for it before resealing and tell you if another trade is needed.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling
- Failed sealant behind washroom basins
- Sealant stained black around basins and showers
- Split or peeling sealant at shower trays
Welfare facilities in units on estates such as Lochiew Industrial Estate, 2.1 miles to the north-west of Newbigging, have showers, toilets and kitchens with sealant that works hard.
Before you book anyone
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- What site paperwork they can supply
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- How the existing material will be dealt with
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.

Common questions from Newbigging clients
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Victoria Hospital, something you do?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is Newbigging off your patch?
Not at all. Newbigging is within our area. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do you need to see the site first?
It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators.
Is colour matching possible?
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 will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
How long does a typical visit take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
What happens if it’s left?
Running fresh silicone along a failed bead hides the problem briefly. It doesn’t bond, so it peels and traps dirt behind it. Full removal and proper cleaning is what makes the new joint last. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Newbigging. Send photographs and we will quote for everything together.
Pricing washrooms and wet areas depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Ask us for a fixed quote.
