Washroom sealing in Shettleston, done properly
For clinics, hospitals and care homes, sealed joints matter for infection control as much as appearance. We work to your organisation’s estates and infection-control requirements and any site permits. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote. Site teams most often ask us about a new bead over an old one coming away and washrooms that look worn because of the sealant, on showers, trays and wet room floors, kitchens and tea points and IPS panels and cubicles. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Shettleston tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Shops and offices at the foot of tenement blocks in Scottish cities often have compact staff washrooms and tea points. Compact, poorly ventilated rooms are hard on sealant.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in Shettleston as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Questions about Shettleston
Do we have to close all our washrooms in Shettleston for resealing?
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.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Lightburn Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Can you clean the mould off instead of resealing?
Not for long. Mould grows into the sealant itself, so it comes back however often it’s cleaned. Replacing the bead is the lasting answer.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
That depends on the product. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, and you deal with one contact throughout.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Do you work in hospitals, clinics and care homes?
Yes. We work to your estates and infection-control requirements and any site permits, and phase the work so areas keep facilities.
Quoting for work in Shettleston
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Phasing around occupants
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.
Sending details for a quote
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- Your programme or deadline
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The type of building and who uses it
- The postcode of the building
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Why deal with it now?
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, and fixing that takes far more work than resealing. In Shettleston, as across Scotland, rain finds any gap, so a split or hardened joint lets water into the wall. Resealing promptly protects the stone and the interior.
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.

- Fixed quotes based on photos, drawings or a visit

What the job involves on each surface
Healthcare and care settings

Changing rooms and gyms
Shower areas, wet floor edges and vanity areas all have sealant joints, and we survey them together.

What else we do in Shettleston
From enquiry to sign-off
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. In a Scottish city, kerbside space and loading need planning, especially near the centre. Shared closes, stairs and the property factor may need to be part of the plan.
- We inspect each washroom and record the joints to be resealed.
- You get a fixed quote with the phasing plan.
- The whole of the old bead is removed.
- Joints are degreased and dried.
- New anti-mould sealant goes in and is tooled neat.
- Rooms reopen after the cure time.
Preparing the site
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Make sure the joints can be reached

When to call us in Shettleston
Panels and vanity units move slightly in use, and shower trays shift under foot. A bead that can’t cope with the movement splits along one edge.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops
- Black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift
- Shower tray joints that have opened up
- Sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling
Student showers at universities like University of Strathclyde, 2 miles to the north-west of Shettleston, see more use than most, and their silicone shows it.
Questions to ask before you book
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
Building owners, agents and FMs in Shettleston
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.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them with the quote.
Keeping Shettleston washrooms open while we work
Being in the west of Scotland, Shettleston gets more rain than eastern areas. Washrooms with weak extraction stay damp in this climate, and mould finds the silicone first.
