About our washroom sealing in Peel
Not every silicone belongs in a washroom. Sanitary grades carry anti-mould additives, and neutral-cure versions avoid the damage acetoxy types can do to some metals, stone and mirror backings. Where food contact is possible, we use a hygienic, food-safe grade. We work on kitchens and tea points, accessible toilets and changing rooms and IPS panels and cubicles, and what we are called in for most is users noticing mouldy joints and black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Peel, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
In smaller Scottish places like Peel, commercial washrooms are typically in hotels, pubs, schools, care homes and community halls. Black sealant normally can’t be cleaned, so it is removed and replaced with anti-mould sanitary silicone.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Peel is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Even so, a washroom that doesn’t dry out between uses will see mould get into its sealant.

Do you need washroom sealing in Peel?
Sometimes the sealant fails because something behind it is moving or wet: a loose panel, a leaking waste or water coming through the wall. We look for it before resealing and say if it needs a plumber or another trade.
Clients normally get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Washrooms that look worn because of the sealant
- Split or peeling sealant at shower trays
- Failed joints along IPS and cubicle panels
- Open joints along basins and vanity units
For a campus such as Heriot-Watt University - Scottish Borders Campus, 4.5 miles east of Peel, showers in residences and washrooms in teaching blocks can be programmed around term dates.
Questions to ask before you book
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Proof of insurance
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
Peel: questions and answers
Will all the washrooms in our Peel building be closed at once?
Rarely all at once: work is phased so some facilities are always available. Each area is handed back once the sealant has cured enough to use.
Could you schedule work at a campus like Heriot-Watt University - Scottish Borders Campus for the vacation?
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.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work normally takes half a day to a day per washroom, depending on the number of fittings. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it.
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
What will the job cost?
That depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a quote.
Doing it in-house
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
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, which is what makes a joint last.
When something else is needed
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Condensation from failed extract fans
- Hollow tiles or loose panels behind the joint
- Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll say what we think.

Our process
Diagnose, treat, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. For a building near Peel, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- We inspect each washroom and record the joints to be resealed.
- You get a fixed quote with the phasing plan.
- The whole of the old bead is removed.
- Joints are degreased and dried.
- New anti-mould sealant goes in and is tooled neat.
- Rooms reopen after the cure time.
What we need from you
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
Getting a fixed quote

Related advice
What happens if it’s left?
When a washroom looks worn, a refit isn’t the only answer. Where tiles, panels and fittings are sound, new sealant may be enough to put it right while bigger works are planned. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, giving water time to get in. Resealing early avoids that.
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote.

How the job changes by surface
Urinals and WC pans
Pan and urinal joints face constant cleaning and splashing. Once they discolour or split, they hold odours and look unhygienic.
Healthcare and care settings
Assisted bathrooms and accessible toilets get heavy use so their sealant tends to fail sooner.
