Toilets, showers and kitchens around Shieldaig
Shieldaig is within about 1 mile of the coast, and seaside hospitality normally has a peak season that works washrooms hard. Washrooms used guest after guest wear their sanitary silicone faster, so we plan the work for quieter weeks where possible. Being in the west of Scotland, Shieldaig gets more rain than eastern areas. In a damp climate, washrooms that aren’t well ventilated stay wet for longer, and sealant in a room that never dries out moulds faster.
For a hotel such as Tigh an Eilean Hotel, which lies south-west of Shieldaig, resealing en suites a few rooms at a time keeps the rest available.

Why deal with it now?
Bleaching black sealant may lighten it for a few days, but the mould is rooted in the silicone and comes back. A full reseal deals with it and cleaners stop fighting a losing battle. Around smaller places like Shieldaig, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Early resealing prevents it.
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

Common problems we fix in Shieldaig
A lot of failed washroom sealant was laid over an old bead or a dirty surface. New silicone won’t grip the old, so it soon lets go.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean
- Mould spotting along silicone joints
- Shower tray joints that have opened up
- Failed joints along IPS and cubicle panels
Washrooms near Shieldaig get the old silicone stripped out and a fresh anti-mould bead on dry joints.
Questions to ask before you book
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- What site paperwork they can supply
Common questions from Shieldaig clients
Do we have to close all our washrooms in Shieldaig for resealing?
Rarely all at once: work is phased so some facilities are always available. Sanitary silicone needs time to cure before the area is used, and we will tell you how long for the product used.
Is Shieldaig too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across every Scottish council area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
What guarantee comes with washroom resealing?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship backed by public liability insurance.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work normally takes a morning or so for a small washroom, longer where showers and changing rooms are included. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, as many construction sites ask for.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
On site: what to expect
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we are in, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. For a building near Shieldaig, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. We will confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- 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.
- A sanitary silicone bead is laid and given a smooth tooled finish.
- Each area is handed back when ready.
Getting the site ready
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
Getting a fixed quote
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with what you know.
Advice
After the work
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Act on the first split you see at a shower tray
- Mention any site permits or estates rules at quote stage
- Clear standing water from shower floors where possible
- Keep washrooms out of use until we say the sealant has cured
Mild cleaning products and non-abrasive cloths look after sanitary silicone best. Strong acids, solvents and scourers wear the surface over time.
Boards behind panels and vanity tops can swell when water gets past a failed joint. After that, those parts need replacing rather than resealing.
What sealant work can’t fix
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Condensation from failed extract fans
- A dripping waste or valve behind a panel
- Swollen or delaminated boards behind panels or vanity tops
If you’re not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
