When to call us in Old Balornock
Decorators’ caulk and general sealants sometimes end up where sanitary silicone belongs. They aren’t made for constant wetting and they discolour and fail early.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Washrooms that look worn because of the sealant
- A new bead over an old one coming away
- Gaps where vanity tops meet the wall
- Panel joints letting water behind
Units at estates like Blochairn Industrial Estate, less than half a mile north-east of Old Balornock, have welfare blocks whose showers and toilets see shift after shift.
What your quote should include
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- How joint depth will be controlled
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
Washroom sealing for commercial buildings in Old Balornock
We reseal washrooms and wet areas in offices, hotels, schools, universities, gyms, healthcare buildings and care homes, along with staff kitchens and tea points. Product and method follow how hard each area is used and cleaned. We work on IPS panels and cubicles, accessible toilets and changing rooms and urinals and WCs, and the failures we are asked to look at most are stained sealant around pans and urinals and resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Old Balornock, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
In Scotland’s cities, university, hospital and office estates have washrooms and wet areas in nearly every building. We reseal them in phases, agreed with the estates or facilities team.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Our process
At the end of each section, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint with your site contact. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. University, hospital and office estates in Scotland’s cities have their own permits, inductions and sign-in rules. Tell us the rules and we will work to them.
- We inspect each washroom and record the joints to be resealed.
- The fixed quote sets out the rooms, the products and the phasing.
- The whole of the old bead is removed.
- Each joint is cleaned and left dry.
- A sanitary silicone bead is laid and given a smooth tooled finish.
- Rooms reopen after the cure time.
Preparing the site
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Point out any areas we must not close
Getting a fixed quote
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
Related advice
Aftercare for building managers
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Inspect washroom sealant regularly
- Make sure washroom ventilation is running
- Don’t leave an open joint at a basin or tray
- Respect the cure time before reopening each room
Squeegeeing showers and trays after heavy use helps. Standing water on a joint all day shortens its life.
Water getting behind IPS panels and vanity units can swell the boards. After that, those parts need replacing rather than resealing.
Commercial clients in Old Balornock
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
What we can’t put right
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Swollen or delaminated boards behind panels or vanity tops
- Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint
- Leaking pipes, traps, wastes or cisterns, which need a plumber
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Kitchens and tea points

Your questions answered
Must a hotel around Old Balornock close while you work?
Rarely, if ever. We take a few rooms out at a time. The plan is built around your bookings.
Can work at a site such as University of Strathclyde fit around teaching?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
How do we ask for a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings. Include photos or drawings if you have them.
What sealant do you use in washrooms?
It depends on the joint. Most washroom joints take sanitary silicone while kitchens may need a food-safe grade.
Do you take on small jobs?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Photos and a description are enough to start.
