About our washroom sealing in Rubislaw
You can’t shut every toilet in an office, school or hotel at once. We phase the work one washroom, one bank of cubicles or one changing room at a time, so there are always facilities in use. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them. Site teams most often ask us about black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift and open joints along basins and vanity units, on IPS panels and cubicles, accessible toilets and changing rooms and vanity units and basins. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Rubislaw tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Scottish city buildings, from student residences to hospitals and offices, are full of washrooms and wet areas. Phased resealing, agreed with the estates or facilities team, keeps buildings working.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Surface by surface
Wet-room floors and floor-to-wall joints
Changing rooms and accessible showers often have wet floors, so their perimeter joints get close attention.
Kitchens and tea points
In commercial kitchens, smooth, cleanable joints help keep the kitchen hygienic. Food-safe sealants are used where food may touch the joint.

General trades versus a specialist
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
After the work
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Keep a record of which washrooms need attention
- Inspect washroom sealant regularly
- Share your site rules when you send details
- Don’t leave an open joint at a basin or tray
Where possible, have shower floors and trays squeegeed after busy periods. Joints that sit wet for hours fail sooner.
A few failed joints can be resealed with hardly any disruption. Left, it tends to become a building-wide job with more phasing to plan.
Work for main contractors and building owners
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Whether you’re a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
When it isn’t the sealant
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We’ll tell you if the real problem is one of these:
- Loose panels, vanity units or tiles, which need fixing first
- Water from plumbing, not from a joint
- Failed tanking beneath a wet-room floor or behind tiles
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Kitchens and tea points
- Vanity units and basins
- Urinals and WCs
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
Diagnose, treat, sign off
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Work on a big city site in Scotland usually involves inductions and permits. Pass on the site’s contractor rules when you get in touch.
- We inspect each washroom and record the joints to be resealed.
- You get a fixed quote with the phasing plan.
- Old sealant is removed completely and the faces cleaned.
- Each joint is cleaned and left dry.
- New anti-mould sealant goes in and is tooled neat.
- Each area is handed back when ready.
What we need from you
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Let us know about inductions and permits
Ask for a quote
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
Advice
Common questions from Rubislaw clients
Can work in a care setting near Rubislaw go ahead while residents are there?
Yes. We work around residents’ routines, a room or two at a time. We follow the home’s own procedures throughout.
Is a hospital such as Albyn Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
How long do sealant joints last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
When can the area be used after sealing?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
Do you need to see the site first?
It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, and bigger or more complex jobs normally get a visit.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Commercial washrooms in Rubislaw
Rubislaw is within about 3 miles of the coast, and coastal hotels, guest houses and holiday sites tend to fill up in the busy months. Heavy seasonal use is hard on shower and basin sealant, and the quieter months are the natural time to reseal. Rubislaw is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Inside, ventilation and use decide how fast washroom sealant moulds, whatever the weather.
Church halls and community buildings, such as those at Rubislaw Church, have kitchens and toilets used by many groups, and their sanitary sealant works hard. Healthcare estates like Albyn Hospital, 0.8 miles to the east of Rubislaw, expect contractors to follow their permits and cleaning rules in every washroom. Office washrooms on sites such as Whitemyres Business Centre (0.9 miles north-west of Rubislaw) are in use all working day, so resealing is phased to keep some open.
