How we handle washroom sealing in Old Drumchapel
Not every silicone belongs in a washroom. Sanitary silicone contains additives that resist mould, and neutral-cure types are used where acetoxy silicone could attack some metals, stone or mirror backings. Where food contact is possible, we use a hygienic, food-safe grade. Most enquiries involve shower tray joints that have opened up and sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling, on kitchens and tea points, urinals and WCs and showers, trays and wet room floors. For commercial sealant work in Old Drumchapel, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
In Scotland’s cities, university, hospital and office estates have washrooms and wet areas in nearly every building. Phased resealing, agreed with the estates or facilities team, keeps buildings working.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not 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.

Advice
Should maintenance staff do it?
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Why act early in Old Drumchapel
Running fresh silicone along a failed bead hides the problem briefly. Silicone won’t grip silicone, so it lifts and holds moisture underneath. Full removal and proper cleaning is what makes the new joint last. Scottish city buildings take plenty of rain, and failed external joints let it into stone walls and around frames. Resealing promptly protects the stone and the interior.
The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.

Cost factors for washrooms and wet areas
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Working within restricted access windows
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.
Sending details for a quote
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Any specification or named product
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Your programme or deadline
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
Questions we’re asked in Old Drumchapel
Could you schedule work at a campus like University of Glasgow Garscube Campus for the vacation?
Yes. Education sites normally want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
Do you work in occupied care homes around Old Drumchapel?
Yes. Care settings are planned area by area, at times agreed with the home. Noise and disruption are kept to a minimum.
How do we ask for a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
How soon can the area be used again?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
How long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit usually takes a morning or so for a small washroom, longer where showers and changing rooms are included. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
Is there a guarantee on the work?
A 12-month guarantee covers the work. It covers our workmanship rather than damage, leaks from plumbing or ventilation problems.
How much does the work cost?
Each job is quoted on its own details. For yours, phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with a description of the work.
Maintenance after handover
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Note failing joints building by building
- Clear standing water from shower floors where possible
- Keep extract fans working and vents clear
- Brief cleaning staff to treat joints gently
Keep extract fans working and vents clear. Constant damp lets mould take hold even on anti-mould grades, so get faulty extract looked at.
Inspectors look at whether kitchen surfaces can be kept clean. Failed sealant around sinks and worktops is easy to put right in good time.
