What sets the cost
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- The total length or number of joints
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Any access equipment needed
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Before you send an enquiry
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- Access details, including height
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- The site address and postcode
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Washroom sealing for commercial buildings in Ochiltree
Accessible toilets, shower rooms and changing rooms have joints that work harder than most: shower trays, wet-room floor edges, basins and floor-to-wall junctions. Gaps in those places let water get under the floor or behind panels so they get particular attention. Most enquiries involve a new bead over an old one coming away and washrooms that look worn because of the sealant, on accessible toilets and changing rooms, IPS panels and cubicles and urinals and WCs. Most enquiries from Ochiltree start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Hospitality around smaller Scottish places like Ochiltree tends to be seasonal, and resealing washrooms in the quieter months keeps rooms available when they’re needed.
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 spell out the cover before we begin.

Keeping Ochiltree washrooms open while we work
Ochiltree is on Scotland’s wetter western side. Washrooms with weak extraction stay damp in this climate, and mould finds the silicone first.
Where you are responsible for a hall attached to a building such as Ochiltree Parish Church, its kitchen and toilets need sealant that stays cleanable. Staff changing rooms and patient toilets at places like Ballochmyle Hospital (to the north of Ochiltree) need cleanable, sound silicone. Hotels such as Head Inn Hotel, under half a mile east of Ochiltree, have en suite bathrooms where tired silicone at the bath, tray and basin is replaced room by room.
Ochiltree is about 10 miles east of Prestwick, in East Ayrshire. We cover Ochiltree, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. Ochiltree is one of 56 places in East Ayrshire on our list. There’s a separate page for Glasgow, roughly 27 miles from Ochiltree.

How a job runs
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked with your site contact. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Ochiltree. We’ll confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- We survey each room, count the joints and note anything behind them that needs another trade.
- A phasing plan keeps part of the building’s facilities in use at all times.
- We strip out the old bead and clean off the residue left behind.
- Each joint is degreased and left dry, because silicone won’t bond to damp or soapy surfaces.
- We lay a sanitary silicone bead and tool it smooth so it is easy to clean.
- Each room is handed back once the sealant has had its cure time.

Questions we’re asked in Ochiltree
Must every washroom in our Ochiltree building shut while you work?
Usually only some of them, for a short time. We work in phases so other facilities stay open. Sanitary silicone needs time to cure before the area is used, and we’ll tell you how long for the product used.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Ballochmyle Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Do you do washroom sealing in healthcare settings?
We do. Your infection-control rules, estates requirements and permits are followed. The work is phased around patients or residents.
Which silicone is right for commercial washrooms?
It depends on the joint. Washrooms and showers take anti-mould sanitary silicone, and food areas take a hygienic, food-safe sealant where food contact is possible.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a visit before quoting.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Maintenance after handover
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Don’t leave an open joint at a basin or tray
- Share your site rules when you send details
- Respect the cure time before reopening each room
- Report faulty extraction promptly
Any failure in our workmanship within the 12-month guarantee is ours to put right. Beyond that, regular checks keep small problems small.
Mould in a joint spreads along the bead and into nearby grout and users notice. Replacing it early keeps the job to a reseal.
Leave it or put it right?
A tired-looking washroom doesn’t always need a refurbishment. Where tiles, panels and fittings are sound, new sealant may be enough to put it right while bigger works are planned. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around Ochiltree before they leak.
Pricing washrooms and wet areas depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you’re working to. Ask us for a fixed quote.
