Washroom sealing in Steelend
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Should maintenance staff do it?
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.

In smaller Scottish places like Steelend, commercial washrooms are typically in hotels, pubs, schools, care homes and community halls. Mould grows into sealant in any wet room that doesn’t dry out, and the answer is removal and a fresh bead of anti-mould silicone.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- A new bead over an old one coming away
- Failed sealant behind washroom basins
- Failed joints along IPS and cubicle panels
- Complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms

Common questions from Steelend clients
Will all the washrooms in our Steelend building be closed at once?
Typically only some of them, for a short time. We work in phases so other facilities stay open. Sanitary silicone needs time to cure before the area is used, and we will tell you how long for the product used.
Would you work within a site like Queen Margaret Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, including public liability cover.
Which silicone is right for commercial washrooms?
Each area gets the grade that suits it. Washrooms and showers take anti-mould sanitary silicone while kitchens may need a food-safe grade.
When can showers be used after new sealant?
Each sealant has a cure time before it should get wet. We plan the phasing around that so facilities are never short.
Do you need to see the site first?
Many jobs can be quoted from photographs, drawings or a joint schedule. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a visit.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Our process
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. For work around Steelend, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- Every room is surveyed and the failed joints listed.
- You get a fixed quote with the phasing plan.
- Old sealant is removed completely and the faces cleaned.
- Joints are degreased and dried.
- New anti-mould sealant goes in and is tooled neat.
- Each area is handed back when ready.
Preparing the site
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Move anything stored against the joints

Advice

What else we do in Steelend
Why act early in Steelend
A tired-looking washroom doesn’t always need a refurbishment. If the finishes are in good order, replacing the sealant may do much of what’s needed while bigger works are planned. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, giving water time to get in. Early resealing prevents it.
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote when you are ready.
Why us?
- Clear, fixed quotes
- 12-month guarantee on workmanship

When it isn’t the sealant
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Panel boards already damaged by water
- Loose panels, vanity units or tiles, which need fixing first
- Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will tell you honestly.
