Washroom sealing for commercial buildings in The Barony
Not every silicone belongs in a washroom. Sanitary grades carry anti-mould additives, 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. If you have black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift and resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed, we can help. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in The Barony it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
In smaller Scottish places like The Barony, commercial washrooms are typically in hotels, pubs, schools, care homes and community halls. Black sealant usually can’t be cleaned, so it is removed and replaced with anti-mould sanitary silicone.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

What we’re called out for in The Barony
We often find acrylic caulk or general-purpose sealant in joints that should have sanitary silicone. They aren’t made for constant wetting and they discolour and fail early.
Typical triggers for a call:
- A new bead over an old one coming away
- Gaps where vanity tops meet the wall
- Sealant lifting along a tray edge
- Urinal joints that look unhygienic
Where you’re responsible for a hall attached to a building such as St Magnus' Church, its kitchen and toilets need sealant that stays cleanable.
Before you book anyone
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Who will actually carry out the work

Maintenance after handover
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Inspect washroom sealant regularly
- Squeegee showers and trays after busy periods
- Keep washrooms out of use until we say the sealant has cured
- Make sure washroom ventilation is running
Ask your cleaning team to use gentle products and soft cloths on sealant. Strong acids, solvents and scourers wear the surface and give mould a start.
Inspectors look at whether kitchen surfaces can be kept clean. Failed sealant around sinks and worktops is easy to put right in good time.
Common questions from The Barony clients
Will the toilets in our The Barony building be out of use?
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.
What site paperwork comes with a job in The Barony?
RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details: list what the site needs and we will confirm it with the quote. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with £5m public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, but the work usually takes half a day to a day per washroom, depending on the number of fittings. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
What sealant do you use in washrooms?
Each area gets the grade that suits it. Washrooms and showers take anti-mould sanitary silicone, and food areas take a hygienic, food-safe sealant where food contact is possible.
Will you quote for a small job?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
What affects the price in The Barony
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Working within restricted access windows
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- How much there is to seal
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Details that help us quote
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- The site address and postcode
- Any dates the work must fit around
- The type of building and who uses it
- Access details, including height
A handful of photos and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Send them through the quote form, or call 01277 525 020 or email us if you’d rather talk the job through.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. For a building near The Barony, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- We survey each room, count the joints and note anything behind them that needs another trade.
- The phasing is agreed so there are always facilities open.
- Failed silicone is removed completely and the surfaces cleaned of every trace.
- Each joint is degreased and left dry, because silicone won’t bond to damp or soapy surfaces.
- A bead of anti-mould sanitary silicone goes in and is tooled to a smooth, cleanable profile.
- You get a reopening time for every room, with signage left up until then.
What we need from you
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions

What the job involves on each surface
Changing rooms and gyms
Gym and leisure changing rooms see showers running most of the day so sealant there works very hard. We use anti-mould sanitary silicone throughout.
Kitchens and tea points
Worktop, sink and splashback joints in tea points take water and food. Sealed joints leave no gaps for food and dirt.
Keeping The Barony washrooms open while we work
The Barony sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile, and coastal hotels, guest houses and holiday sites tend to fill up in the busy months. Washrooms used guest after guest wear their sanitary silicone faster, so resealing in the quieter months keeps rooms ready. The east of Scotland, where The Barony is, gets less rain than the west. Mould in sanitary sealant comes down to ventilation and use more than the weather outside.
Around The Barony, washroom joints are resealed by removing the old silicone completely and laying anti-mould sanitary silicone on dry surfaces.
