Toilets, showers and kitchens around Portsoy
With the shore within about 1 mile, Portsoy counts as a coastal location, and coastal hotels, guest houses and holiday sites tend to fill up in the busy months. Showers and en suites in constant use are where silicone moulds and splits first, which is why off-season resealing makes sense. Being in the east of Scotland, Portsoy gets less rain than the west coast. Drier weather outside doesn’t help a washroom with poor extraction, where mould gets into silicone fast.
Church halls and community buildings, such as those at St John's Episcopal Church, have kitchens and toilets used by many groups, and their sanitary sealant works hard. Staff changing rooms and patient toilets at places like Campbell Hospital (less than half a mile west of Portsoy) need cleanable, sound silicone.

What we are called out for in Portsoy
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.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift
- Shower tray joints that have opened up
- Open joints at the base of cubicle panels
- Complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms
Hotels such as The Boyne Hotel (to the north of Portsoy) have en suite bathrooms where tired silicone at the bath, tray and basin is replaced room by room.
Before you book anyone
- Proof of insurance
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
Building owners, agents and FMs in Portsoy
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Portsoy can form part of a wider programme across Aberdeenshire.
Keeping the joints sound
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Keep extract fans working and vents clear
- Squeegee showers and trays after busy periods
- Brief cleaning staff to treat joints gently
- Keep washrooms out of use until we say the sealant has cured
Ask your cleaning team to use gentle products and soft cloths on sealant. Aggressive descalers, solvents and scouring pads shorten its life over time.
Mouldy sealant only gets harder to ignore, and complaints follow. Dealing with it while it’s just the sealant keeps it simple.
Honest limits
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Loose panels, vanity units or tiles, which need fixing first
- Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint
- Mould caused by poor ventilation, which will return until the extract is fixed
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- Urinals and WCs
- Kitchens and tea points
- Vanity units and basins
- IPS panels and cubicles
What happens if it’s left?
Water gets behind panels and under floors through a failed joint. That can lead to swollen boards, marked ceilings below and lingering smells, and fixing that takes far more work than resealing. Around smaller places like Portsoy, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, giving water time to get in. Early resealing prevents it.
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.

Questions about Portsoy
Can you work on a hospital site such as Campbell Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Do hotels near Portsoy have to close for sealant work?
In most cases no closure is needed: we work room by room or floor by floor. Housekeeping and our team agree each day’s rooms.
Do you need to remove the old sealant?
We always remove it. Fresh silicone can’t key to an old bead, so sealing over it soon peels.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
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.
Can you send site paperwork?
Requirements differ from site to site, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
