About our washroom sealing in Thurso
In a busy washroom, the sealant usually gives up long before the tiles or fittings. Around basins, urinals, cubicles, IPS panels and shower trays it takes water, soap, cleaning chemicals and knocks every day, and once mould grows into it, it can’t be scrubbed out. We strip it out and lay new anti-mould sanitary silicone. We work on showers, trays and wet room floors, urinals and WCs and vanity units and basins, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are urinal joints that look unhygienic and sealant stained black around basins and showers. Searching for sealant specialists in Thurso? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Changing rooms and showers in Scottish town leisure buildings see heavy, wet use. Joints at trays, wet floors and wall panels need sanitary silicone laid on clean, dry surfaces, so areas are closed in turn while it cures.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

Aftercare for building managers
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Inspect washroom sealant regularly
- Don’t leave an open joint at a basin or tray
- Mention any site permits or estates rules at quote stage
- Photograph and log failed joints across the estate
Each room goes back into use only when the sealant has cured enough. We will tell you when the wet areas can be used, and it helps if signs stay up until then.
Boards behind panels and vanity tops can swell when water gets past a failed joint. Once that happens, a reseal won’t fix them.
What else we do in Thurso
When something else is needed
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Mould caused by poor ventilation, which will return until the extract is fixed
- Loose panels, vanity units or tiles, which need fixing first
- Panel boards already damaged by water
If you are not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- Showers, trays and wet room floors

- Kitchens and tea points
- IPS panels and cubicles

How the job changes by surface
Kitchens and tea points
We plan kitchen sealing around when the kitchen is in use. Your site hours and access windows set the timing.
Basins and vanity tops
A failed joint along a vanity unit lets water into the carcass. Prompt resealing keeps the unit sound.
Cost factors for washrooms and wet areas
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- How accessible the joints are
- Location, for remote and island sites
- The product specified
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Details that help us quote
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Specification clauses that apply
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? We’ll quote against your scope and drawings you can plan around. For a chat about it beforehand, phone 01277 525 020 or email us.
Questions we’re asked in Thurso
Must every washroom in our Thurso building shut while you work?
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.
Do hotels near Thurso have to close for sealant work?
Almost never. The work is phased so most rooms stay available. The plan is built around your bookings.
Do you guarantee washroom sealing?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we carry public liability insurance.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Can you quote from photographs?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs usually get a visit.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Each site asks for different documents, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Do you phase washroom resealing?
Just the room being resealed is out of use. Each room reopens after the sealant’s cure time and we start the next.
On site: what to expect
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, and the work typically takes a morning or so for a small washroom, longer where showers and changing rooms are included. In a Scottish town such as Thurso, outside work is planned around the weather and inside work around the occupants. Photos or drawings let us give a fixed quote and a realistic plan.
- 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.
- Rooms reopen after the cure time.
Before we start on site
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

Washroom sealing in Thurso: the local picture
Thurso sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile, and seaside hospitality typically has a peak season that works washrooms hard. Bathrooms turned round daily in the busy months need sound, cleanable joints, so we plan the work for quieter weeks where possible. There are plenty of hotels within about 2 miles of Thurso. Each has en suites, back-of-house toilets and kitchens with sealant that moulds and splits. The work can go floor by floor, agreed with housekeeping.
Clinical washrooms at sites like Dunbar Hospital (to the south-west of Thurso) are scheduled with the ward so the room is out of use for as little time as possible. Hotels such as Station Hotel (to the south-east of Thurso) have en suite bathrooms where tired silicone at the bath, tray and basin is replaced room by room. At a school such as Thurso High School, changing rooms and kitchens need cleanable joints as much as the toilets.
