Washroom sealing in Rubha Ban, done properly
When mould has spotted a silicone joint, more cleaning won’t remove it. The mould has rooted into the silicone itself, which is why it comes back however often it is treated. Replacing the bead is the lasting treatment. The enquiries we see most involve sealant lifting along a tray edge and kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean, across accessible toilets and changing rooms, IPS panels and cubicles and vanity units and basins. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Rubha Ban it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Hotels and holiday accommodation in rural Scotland have busy and quiet seasons, so washroom work is often best planned for quieter months.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Owners, agents and contractors
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
When to call us in Rubha Ban
Warmth, moisture and soap residue are exactly what mould needs, and sealant joints trap all three. Anti-mould additives help, but in a poorly ventilated room mould can still take hold eventually.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms
- Open joints at the base of cubicle panels
- Shower tray joints that have opened up
- Resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed
Halls linked to places like St Michael's Church host groups all week, which is hard on kitchen and toilet sealant.
What to look for in a quote
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
General trades versus a specialist
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Honest limits
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Leaks through tanking or membranes below the finishes
- Panel boards already damaged by water
- Fittings that move too much to hold a bead
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will tell you honestly.

Our process
Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Rubha Ban is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- 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.
- Failed silicone is removed completely and the surfaces cleaned of every trace.
- We clean and dry every surface so the new sealant can grip.
- A bead of anti-mould sanitary silicone goes in and is tooled to a smooth, cleanable profile.
- You get a reopening time for every room, with signage left up until then.
Getting the site ready
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

Questions about Rubha Ban
Will you travel to Rubha Ban on the island?
Yes, Rubha Ban is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of Scotland. We group island work where we can and plan around the crossings.
Will the toilets in our Rubha Ban 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.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, which many sites require.
How do I request a quote?
There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
Do you need to remove the old sealant?
We strip every bit of the failed bead and wipe away the residue before resealing. It’s the difference between a joint that lasts and one that peels.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, and you deal with one contact throughout across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
Do you phase washroom resealing?
The work is phased so there are always facilities open. One washroom, one bank of cubicles or one changing room is done at a time around your site hours and access windows.
Busy facilities in and around Rubha Ban
Rubha Ban lies within about 2 miles of the sea, and coastal places often have hotels, guest houses and holiday accommodation with busy seasons. Washrooms used guest after guest wear their sanitary silicone faster, so we plan the work for quieter weeks where possible. Rubha Ban is on Scotland’s wetter western side. Where ventilation is poor, damp washrooms here tend to see black mould in the sealant sooner.
In any commercial washroom in or near Rubha Ban, mouldy sealant is cut out rather than cleaned, and anti-mould sanitary silicone goes on clean, dry joints.

Keeping the joints sound
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Keep extract fans working and vents clear
- Tell us about infection-control or permit rules before we quote
- Add sealant joints to planned maintenance checks
- Act on the first split you see at a shower tray
If a joint we sealed fails within 12 months, tell us and we’ll look at it. After that, a routine look catches failing joints early.
Mouldy sealant only gets harder to ignore, and complaints follow. Replacing it early keeps the job to a reseal.
