Washroom sealing for commercial buildings in Pathhead
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. An open joint there lets water track under flooring or behind wall panels, so we look at them closely. The enquiries we see most involve failed joints along IPS and cubicle panels and stained sealant around pans and urinals, across accessible toilets and changing rooms, urinals and WCs and kitchens and tea points. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Pathhead, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Around smaller places such as Pathhead, washrooms and kitchens are found in hotels, pubs, schools, care homes and halls. Black sealant usually can’t be cleaned, so it is removed and replaced with anti-mould sanitary silicone.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant.

Why deal with it now?
Washrooms shape how visitors judge a building. Guests, clients, pupils and patients notice stained joints before they notice much else. Fresh sanitary silicone lifts a room with very little disruption. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Pathhead. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.

Toilets, showers and kitchens around Pathhead
Being in the east of Scotland, Pathhead gets less rain than the west coast. Mould in sanitary sealant comes down to ventilation and use more than the weather outside.
Office washrooms on sites such as McSence Business Park (to the west of Pathhead) are in use all working day, so resealing is phased to keep some open. Healthcare washrooms on sites such as Midlothian Community Hospital (to the west of Pathhead) are resealed area by area, under the site’s own infection-control rules.
Pathhead is about 4 miles south-east of Dalkeith, in Midlothian. We send applicators to Pathhead for washrooms and wet areas. Pathhead is one of 34 places in Midlothian on our list. For work in that direction, see our Edinburgh page.

General trades versus a specialist
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Common questions from Pathhead clients
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Midlothian Community Hospital, something you do?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Will the toilets in our Pathhead building be out of use?
Not all at once. We take one block of facilities at a time. We’ll tell you the curing time for the product before we start.
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.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, and you deal with one contact throughout.
Do you work in Pathhead?
Yes. Pathhead falls within our area, and you can ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form to get started.
What do you charge?
There isn’t a price list, because every site is different. With photographs or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
Can you quote from photos?
It depends on the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs normally get a visit.
Other services in Pathhead
Do you need washroom sealing in Pathhead?
A lot of failed washroom sealant was laid over an old bead or a dirty surface. Silicone won’t adhere to a silicone bead so it peels away quickly.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans
- Shower tray joints that have opened up
- Users noticing mouldy joints
- Stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops
At a hotel such as The Stair Arms Hotel, which lies north-west of Pathhead, the quieter weeks are the time to reseal bathrooms.
What to look for in a quote
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Proof of insurance
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
When something else is needed
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Mould caused by poor ventilation, which will return until the extract is fixed
- Failed tanking beneath a wet-room floor or behind tiles
- Water from plumbing, not from a joint
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will tell you honestly before you book.

On site: what to expect
Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them. While we’re working, the area stays contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Pathhead. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- We start by inspecting the fittings and joints and flagging problems sealant can’t solve.
- 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.
- We clean and dry every surface so the new sealant can grip.
- 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.
Before we start on site
