How the job changes by surface
Showers and trays
In staff, hotel and changing-room showers, the tray joint and wall corners take the hardest use. Each bead is stripped, the joint dried and new sealant laid.
Basins and vanity tops
A failed joint along a vanity unit lets water into the carcass. Resealing early protects the unit.
How we handle washroom sealing in Pitcalnie
Accessible toilets, shower rooms and changing rooms have joints that work harder than most: wet-floor edges, tray perimeters, basin tops and the line where flooring meets the wall. Gaps in those places let water get under the floor or behind panels so they get particular attention. We work on IPS panels and cubicles, accessible toilets and changing rooms and showers, trays and wet room floors, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are failed sealant behind washroom basins and open joints at the base of cubicle panels. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Pitcalnie, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
For washroom work around Pitcalnie, we plan so every room on the list is done in one trip where possible. Photos of each washroom and a count of rooms help us quote and plan.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Should maintenance staff do it?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
Washroom sealing in Pitcalnie: the local picture
Pitcalnie is within about 1 mile of the coast, and coastal places often have hotels, guest houses and holiday accommodation with busy seasons. Bathrooms turned round daily in the busy months need sound, cleanable joints, which is why off-season resealing makes sense. Pitcalnie is in the west of Scotland, the wetter side of the country. Washrooms with weak extraction stay damp in this climate, and mould finds the silicone first.
At a hospital like County Community Hospital, 5.6 miles to the west of Pitcalnie, patient and staff washrooms are best done in short phases agreed with the ward.
Pitcalnie is about 11 miles north-west of Nairn, in Highland. Pitcalnie sits inside our coverage, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else.

Questions about Pitcalnie
Is Pitcalnie too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Pitcalnie is within our area. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Will all the washrooms in our Pitcalnie building be closed at once?
Normally only some of them, for a short time. We work in phases so other facilities stay open. We’ll tell you the curing time for the product before we start.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit typically takes a few hours for one toilet block, with bigger buildings phased across a number of visits. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Is there a guarantee on the work?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we carry public liability insurance.
Is old silicone taken out first?
The failed bead is always removed. New silicone won’t stick to the old so a bead over the top fails quickly.
When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Is it possible to just clean mouldy silicone?
Cleaning may lighten it, but the mould returns. New anti-mould sanitary silicone is the treatment and check the ventilation isn’t the cause.
When to call us in Pitcalnie
Much of the failed sealant we remove was applied over old silicone or residue. New silicone won’t grip the old, so it soon lets go.
Things that typically lead to an enquiry:
- Sealant stained black around basins and showers
- Complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms
- Sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling
- Split or peeling sealant at shower trays
Around Pitcalnie, washroom joints are resealed by removing the old silicone completely and laying anti-mould sanitary silicone on dry surfaces.

Maintenance after handover
After handover, these steps help:
- Respect the cure time before reopening each room
- Inspect washroom sealant regularly
- Photograph and log failed joints across the estate
- Clear standing water from shower floors where possible
Ask your cleaning team to use gentle products and soft cloths on sealant. Aggressive descalers, solvents and scouring pads shorten its life over time.
Inspectors look at whether kitchen surfaces can be kept clean. Failed sealant around sinks and worktops is easy to put right in good time.
