About our washroom sealing in Newbridge
Our washroom work covers offices, hotels, schools and colleges, leisure centres and gyms, clinics and care homes, along with staff kitchens and tea points. The products and the method are chosen for how heavily each space is used. We work on showers, trays and wet room floors, IPS panels and cubicles and vanity units and basins, and the failures we are asked to look at most are failed sealant behind washroom basins and resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Newbridge tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Around smaller places such as Newbridge, washrooms and kitchens are found in hotels, pubs, schools, care homes and halls. Black sealant typically can’t be cleaned, so it is removed and replaced with anti-mould sanitary silicone.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

When it isn’t the sealant
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Leaks through tanking or membranes below the finishes
- Loose panels, vanity units or tiles, which need fixing first
- A room that stays damp because ventilation isn’t working
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.

Common questions from Newbridge clients
Can you work on a hospital site such as Linburn Centre?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Is Newbridge too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Newbridge is within our area. We work across every Scottish council area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, let us know and we’ll send them with the quote.
Can you clean the mould off instead of resealing?
Not for long. Mould grows into the sealant itself so cleaning only lightens it for a while. Replacement is the lasting fix.
Is old silicone taken out first?
The whole of the old bead is removed and the surfaces cleaned before resealing. That’s what makes the new joint last.
Can you quote from photographs?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a visit.
Wet areas in Newbridge’s workplaces
The area within 2 miles of Newbridge holds several hotels. Behind every hotel door there’s a bathroom whose sealant will need renewing sooner or later. Rooms are done in turn so most stay available. Newbridge is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Even so, a washroom that doesn’t dry out between uses will see mould get into its sealant.
On a healthcare site such as Linburn Centre, which lies south of Newbridge, washroom work starts with the infection-control team’s sign-off. Hotels such as Norton House Hotel (to the south-east of Newbridge) have en suite bathrooms where tired silicone at the bath, tray and basin is replaced room by room.
Newbridge is about 5 miles north-east of Livingston, in Edinburgh. Newbridge sits inside our coverage and the rest of Edinburgh, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. Newbridge is one of 174 places we cover in Edinburgh. Edinburgh is covered too, some 8 miles away.

What else we do in Newbridge
Doing it in-house
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Our process
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before the next one starts. For a building near Newbridge, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- We start by inspecting the fittings and joints and flagging problems sealant can’t solve.
- The phasing is agreed so there are always facilities open.
- Failed silicone is removed completely and the surfaces cleaned of every trace.
- Joints are cleaned, degreased and dried before sealing.
- A bead of anti-mould sanitary silicone goes in and is tooled to a smooth, cleanable profile.
- You get a reopening time for every room, with signage left up until then.
Preparing the site
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Make sure the joints can be reached

How the job changes by surface
Showers and trays
Shower trays move under foot and are wet all day. Tray joints are where many washroom leaks start.
Healthcare and care settings
We phase washroom sealing so care areas are never left without facilities. Tell us what records you need and we will confirm with the quote.
Signs you need washroom sealing in Newbridge
Mop buckets, trolleys and knocks from users damage joints near the floor, especially at floor edges and around urinals and WC pans.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Panel joints letting water behind
- Black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift
- Gaps where vanity tops meet the wall
- Shower tray joints that have opened up
For a hall at a building such as Kirkliston Parish Church, resealing the kitchen and toilets can be fitted between bookings.
Questions to ask before you book
