How we handle washroom sealing in Ratho Station
Since 2005 we have resealed commercial washrooms for facilities teams, contractors and building owners. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with CSCS-carded applicators. We are fully insured. Every resealed washroom carries our 12-month guarantee. If you have urinal joints that look unhygienic and sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling, we can help, whatever the surface. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Ratho Station tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Hospitality around smaller Scottish places like Ratho Station tends to be seasonal, so washroom work is often best planned for quieter months.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Edinburgh. Should something we installed fail, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll come back to it.

General trades versus a specialist
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Keeping the joints sound
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Leave signs up until the cure time is over
- Keep a record of which washrooms need attention
- Brief cleaning staff to treat joints gently
- Report split joints at trays and basins early
Squeegeeing showers and trays after heavy use helps. Standing water on a joint all day shortens its life.
Mouldy sealant only gets harder to ignore, and complaints follow. Replacing it early keeps the job to a reseal.

We work a handful of rooms at a time, so the hotel keeps letting the rest.

Common questions from Ratho Station clients
Is Ratho Station off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like Heriot-Watt University?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, let us know and we’ll send them with the quote.
What guarantee comes with washroom resealing?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship backed by public liability insurance.
What do you charge?
That depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a fixed quote.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it.
What the job involves on each surface
Urinals and WC pans
Urinal backs, troughs and slab joints are resealed with sanitary silicone once the whole of the old bead has gone.
Showers and trays
A tray flexes every time it’s used and is constantly wet. Tray joints are where many washroom leaks start.
How the quote is worked out
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- How much there is to seal
- How accessible the joints are
- Removal of failed or old sealant
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
Sending details for a quote
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- When you need the work done
The quickest route to a quote is a few photographs and the site postcode. Upload them with the quote form, or give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us if you’d rather talk the job through.
