How we handle washroom sealing in Ruisgarry
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. Most enquiries involve stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops and shower tray joints that have opened up, across vanity units and basins, urinals and WCs and showers, trays and wet room floors. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Ruisgarry 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 Ruisgarry tends to be seasonal, so washroom work is often best planned for quieter months.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: 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.

Washroom sealing in Ruisgarry: the local picture
With the shore within about 1 mile, Ruisgarry counts as a coastal location, 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, which is why off-season resealing makes sense. Ruisgarry is on Scotland’s wetter western side. Damp air means a poorly ventilated washroom rarely dries out fully, which is when mould gets into the sealant.
For buildings around Ruisgarry, washrooms can be done in phases so some facilities are always open.

Doing it in-house
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Owners, agents and contractors
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. Programme, specification and site rules come first.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Ruisgarry can form part of a wider programme across Na h-Eileanan Siar.

Why act early in Ruisgarry
A failed joint behind a basin or along a shower tray lets water run where it shouldn’t. In a commercial building that can mean damaged boards, stained ceilings on the floor below and odours which costs more to fix than a reseal. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Early resealing prevents it.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

Our process
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work typically takes half a day to a day per washroom, depending on the number of fittings. Jobs near Ruisgarry are often grouped with others in the same area. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- We start by inspecting the fittings and joints and flagging problems sealant can’t solve.
- The phasing is agreed so there are always facilities open.
- We strip out the old bead and clean off the residue left behind.
- Joints are cleaned, degreased and dried before sealing.
- New sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives goes in and is tooled neat.
- Rooms reopen after the product’s cure time, and we move to the next.
Before we start on site
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Let us know about inductions and permits

When to call us in Ruisgarry
Much of the failed sealant we remove was applied over old silicone or residue. New silicone won’t grip the old, so it soon lets go.
Clients usually get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Open joints along basins and vanity units
- Shower tray joints that have opened up
- Resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed
- Complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms
Around Ruisgarry, washroom joints are resealed by removing the old silicone completely and laying anti-mould sanitary silicone on dry surfaces.

Ruisgarry: questions and answers
Will you travel to Ruisgarry on the island?
Yes. Islands are part of our area, Ruisgarry included. We plan island jobs around the ferry and the forecast, and bring everything the job needs on the first crossing.
Must every washroom in our Ruisgarry building shut while you work?
Not all at once. We take one block of facilities at a time. Sanitary silicone needs time to cure before the area is used, and we’ll tell you how long for the product used.
How many days will you need on site?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
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.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
How do you choose the sealant?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
