Washroom sealing in Rigside
We reseal washrooms and wet areas in offices, hotels, schools, universities, gyms, healthcare buildings and care homes, plus the kitchens and tea points that go with them. Product and method follow how hard each area is used and cleaned. The enquiries we see most involve discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans and open joints at the base of cubicle panels, across showers, trays and wet room floors, IPS panels and cubicles and urinals and WCs. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Rigside is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Around smaller places such as Rigside, washrooms and kitchens are found in hotels, pubs, schools, care homes and halls. Black sealant usually can’t be cleaned, so it is removed and replaced with anti-mould sanitary silicone.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

Keeping the joints sound
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Note failing joints building by building
- Make sure washroom ventilation is running
- Mention any site permits or estates rules at quote stage
- Leave signs up until the cure time is over
Where possible, have shower floors and trays squeegeed after busy periods. Joints that sit wet for hours fail sooner.
Water getting behind IPS panels and vanity units can swell the boards. After that, those parts need replacing rather than resealing.
Washroom sealing around Rigside: how the place shapes the job
Being in the east of Scotland, Rigside gets less rain than the west coast. Even so, a washroom that doesn’t dry out between uses will see mould get into its sealant.
For a site such as Lady Home Hospital (3.5 miles south-west of Rigside), sanitary joints in clinical areas need sound, cleanable sealant and a careful method. Around Rigside, washroom joints are resealed by removing the old silicone completely and laying anti-mould sanitary silicone on dry surfaces.

Your questions answered
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Lady Home Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Must every washroom in our Rigside building shut while you work?
Usually only some of them, for a short time. We work in phases so other facilities stay open. Each area is handed back once the sealant has cured enough to use.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
Which silicone is right for commercial washrooms?
An anti-mould sanitary silicone in most cases. Neutral-cure grades are used where acetoxy types could mark metals, stone or mirror backings.
Do you phase washroom resealing?
We phase it so users always have somewhere to go. One washroom, one bank of cubicles or one changing room is done at a time. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
How soon can a washroom be used after resealing?
Cure times vary by product and temperature. You’ll get a reopening time for each area before we leave it.
Why act early in Rigside
Bleaching black sealant may lighten it for a few days but the growth is inside the bead and returns. A full reseal deals with it and cleaners stop fighting a losing battle. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, so it’s worth renewing joints around Rigside before they leak.
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

When to bring in a specialist
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. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
What sets the cost
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How much there is to seal
- How much existing material needs removing
- Access and working height
- Joint width, depth and condition
Pricing washrooms and wet areas depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.
Before you send an enquiry
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. Please tell us:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Your programme or deadline
- Access details, including height
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.
Our process
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Jobs near Rigside are often grouped with others in the same area, to make the most of each trip. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- Every washroom is checked joint by joint, with loose panels, leaks or damp noted for the right trade.
- We agree which rooms close and when, so users always have somewhere to go.
- We strip out the old bead and clean off the residue left behind.
- Each joint is degreased and left dry, because silicone won’t bond to damp or soapy surfaces.
- We lay a sanitary silicone bead and tool it smooth so it is easy to clean.
- Rooms reopen after the product’s cure time, and we move to the next.
What we need from you
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Move anything stored against the joints

Advice
How the job changes by surface
Wet-room floors and floor-to-wall joints
We seal the visible joints; we don’t install or repair waterproofing below and point it out if water appears to rise from below.
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.
