Common questions from Strathaven clients
Do we have to close all our washrooms in Strathaven for resealing?
Usually only some of them, for a short time. We work in phases so other facilities stay open. We’ll tell you the curing time for the product before we start.
Is a hospital such as Stonehouse Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Do you take on small jobs?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, 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.
Do you guarantee washroom sealing?
Every job carries our 12-month guarantee. It covers our workmanship rather than damage, leaks from plumbing or ventilation problems.
Do you phase washroom resealing?
The work is phased so there are always facilities open. We work through the building a room or section at a time around your site hours and access windows.
What do you charge?
We don’t publish prices, because every site is different. With photographs or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
Washroom sealing in Strathaven
Washroom joints need the right sealant, not whatever is to hand. 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 urinal joints that look unhygienic and gaps where vanity tops meet the wall, on showers, trays and wet room floors, IPS panels and cubicles and urinals and WCs. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Strathaven from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Travel to smaller places like Strathaven is planned so the work is finished on one visit. Send photos and a room list and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

What we are called out for in Strathaven
Mop buckets, trolleys and knocks from users damage joints near the floor, especially at floor edges and around urinals and WC pans.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops
- Shower tray joints that have opened up
- Stained sealant around pans and urinals
- Black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift
En suites at hotels like Strathaven Hotel (less than half a mile north of Strathaven) are cleaned daily, which wears silicone over time.
What to look for in a quote
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
When something else is needed
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Swollen or delaminated boards behind panels or vanity tops
- Hollow tiles or loose panels behind the joint
- Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint
If you’re not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Keeping Strathaven washrooms open while we work
Being in the west of Scotland, Strathaven gets more rain than eastern areas. Washrooms with weak extraction stay damp in this climate, and mould finds the silicone first.
Schools such as Strathaven Academy have toilets, changing rooms and kitchens that are best resealed in the holidays. Healthcare washrooms on sites such as Stonehouse Hospital (to the east of Strathaven) are resealed area by area, under the site’s own infection-control rules.

After the work
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Mention any site permits or estates rules at quote stage
- Report faulty extraction promptly
- Clear standing water from shower floors where possible
- Add sealant joints to planned maintenance checks
We hand each area back once the silicone has had the cure time the product needs. We will tell you when the wet areas can be used, and it helps if signs stay up until then.
In food areas, cleanability is something environmental health officers look at. Resealing sinks, worktops and splashbacks before an inspection is a simple step.
What happens if it’s left?
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. Resealing early avoids that.
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.

What sets the cost
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- How much existing material needs removing
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Access and working height
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Details that help us quote
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Specification clauses that apply
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
