Washroom sealing in Potarch, done properly
When mould has spotted a silicone joint, more cleaning won’t remove it. The growth is inside the sealant, which is why it comes back however often it is treated. Replacing the bead is the lasting treatment. If you’re dealing with sealant lifting along a tray edge and a new bead over an old one coming away, we can put it right, whatever the surface. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Potarch from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Hotels and holiday accommodation in rural Scotland have busy and quiet seasons, and resealing washrooms in the quieter months keeps rooms available when they’re needed.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

When to call us in Potarch
Panels and vanity units move slightly in use and trays shift slightly with each user. If the joint wasn’t laid to take that movement, it tears or peels away.
Look out for the following:
- Panel joints letting water behind
- Failed sealant behind washroom basins
- Mould spotting along silicone joints
- Washrooms that look worn because of the sealant
In any commercial washroom in or near Potarch, mouldy sealant is cut out rather than cleaned, and anti-mould sanitary silicone goes on clean, dry joints.
Questions to ask before you book
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- How joint depth will be controlled
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
Different surfaces, different methods
IPS and cubicle panels
Cubicle and IPS panels move when leaned on or knocked, so the sealant has to take that movement. Loose panels are flagged before any sealant goes on.
Urinals and WC pans
Floor joints around WC pans are often forgotten. We include them in the survey.
Questions about Potarch
Can you work on a hospital site such as Kincardine O'Neil Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Will the toilets in our Potarch building be out of use?
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.
Do you phase washroom resealing?
Just the room being resealed is out of use. Each room reopens after the sealant’s cure time and we start the next.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
How soon can a washroom be used after resealing?
That varies with the sealant and the room temperature. Each room gets its own reopening time from us before we leave it.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
How do we ask for a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.

Cost factors for washrooms and wet areas
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- The total length or number of joints
- The product specified
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
A quote for washrooms and wet areas depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.
What we need to price the job
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- The product your specification calls for
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- What the building is and how it’s used
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
Should maintenance staff do it?
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.

Aftercare for building managers
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Act on the first split you see at a shower tray
- Photograph and log failed joints across the estate
- Squeegee showers and trays after busy periods
- Report faulty extraction promptly
If a joint we sealed fails within 12 months, tell us and we’ll look at it. Beyond that, regular checks keep small problems small.
Small numbers of failed joints are quick to phase in. Left, it tends to become a building-wide job with more phasing to plan.
How a job runs
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we are in, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Potarch. We’ll confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
