How we handle washroom sealing in Shotts
Not every silicone belongs in a washroom. Sanitary silicone contains additives that resist mould, and neutral-cure types are used where acetoxy silicone could attack some metals, stone or mirror backings. In food areas, hygienic or food-safe sealants are used where food contact is possible. The enquiries we see most involve stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops and stained sealant around pans and urinals, across kitchens and tea points, accessible toilets and changing rooms and IPS panels and cubicles. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Shotts it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Hotels and holiday accommodation in rural Scotland have busy and quiet seasons, so washroom work is often best planned for quieter months.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in North Lanarkshire. Should something we installed fail, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll come back to it.

What we are called out for in Shotts
Low-level joints get hit by mop buckets, cleaning trolleys and feet at skirting lines, urinal bases and around pans.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Shower tray joints that have opened up
- Resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed
- Urinal joints that look unhygienic
- Stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops
Clinical washrooms at sites like Cleland Hospital (4.5 miles west of Shotts) are scheduled with the ward so the room is out of use for as little time as possible.

Surface by surface
Showers and trays
If a tray moves too much or is cracked, it needs attention first, and we’ll say so before resealing.
Healthcare and care settings
Assisted bathrooms and accessible toilets get heavy use, so their joints often need renewing sooner.
General trades versus a specialist
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Commercial washrooms in Shotts
The east of Scotland, where Shotts is, gets less rain than the west. Even so, a washroom that doesn’t dry out between uses will see mould get into its sealant.
Hotels such as Station Hotel, less than half a mile to the south-west of Shotts, have en suite bathrooms where tired silicone at the bath, tray and basin is replaced room by room. For an occupier at a site such as Glenburn Industrial Estate, which lies north-east of Shotts, the canteen and welfare facilities need cleanable joints as much as any office.
Shotts is about 6 miles north-east of Wishaw, in North Lanarkshire.

Why act early in Shotts
Water gets behind panels and under floors through a failed joint. 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. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, and for a smaller place like Shotts, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a quote once you have the details.

Common questions from Shotts clients
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Cleland Hospital, something you do?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Will all the washrooms in our Shotts building be closed at once?
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’ll tell you how long for the product used.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Is it possible to just clean mouldy silicone?
Not for long. Mould grows into the sealant itself so cleaning only lightens it for a while. Replacement is the lasting fix.
What do you charge?
There isn’t a price list, because every site is different. With photographs or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
In many cases, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Leaking pipes, traps, wastes or cisterns, which need a plumber
- Hollow tiles or loose panels behind the joint
- Leaks through tanking or membranes below the finishes
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll say what we think.
