Washroom sealing in Toogs, done properly
For clinics, hospitals and care homes, sealed joints matter for infection control as much as appearance. We work to your organisation’s estates and infection-control requirements and any site permits. Any records you need are confirmed with the quote. We work on vanity units and basins, accessible toilets and changing rooms and IPS panels and cubicles, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are urinal joints that look unhygienic and failed sealant behind washroom basins. For commercial sealant work in Toogs, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Hospitality around smaller Scottish places like Toogs tends to be seasonal, so washroom work is often best planned for quieter months.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in the Shetland Islands. Should something we installed fail, call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll come back to it.

Honest limits
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Panel boards already damaged by water
- A room that stays damp because ventilation isn’t working
- Leaking pipes, traps, wastes or cisterns, which need a plumber
If you’re not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What else we do in Toogs
Common questions from Toogs clients
Must every washroom in our Toogs building shut while you work?
Rarely all at once: work is phased so some facilities are always available. Each area is handed back once the sealant has cured enough to use.
Is Toogs inside the area you cover, given it’s on an island?
Yes. Islands are part of our area, Toogs included. Island work is planned around ferry crossings and the weather, so photos and a full list before we travel are essential.
Do you take on small jobs?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
What guarantee comes with washroom resealing?
A 12-month guarantee covers the work. It covers our workmanship rather than damage, leaks from plumbing or ventilation problems.
Can washrooms stay open while you work?
Only the area we are working in is closed. Each room reopens after the sealant’s cure time, then we move on.
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 will confirm with the quote.
Do you need to see the site first?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.
Keeping Toogs washrooms open while we work
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Toogs, and coastal places often have hotels, guest houses and holiday accommodation with busy seasons. Showers and en suites in constant use are where silicone moulds and splits first, which is why off-season resealing makes sense. Being in the east of Scotland, Toogs gets less rain than the west coast. Drier weather outside doesn’t help a washroom with poor extraction, where mould gets into silicone fast.
Washrooms near Toogs get the old silicone stripped out and a fresh anti-mould bead on dry joints.
Toogs is in the Shetland Islands. Across the ZE2 postcode area, it works the same way: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. 63 places across the Shetland Islands fall within our area, Toogs among them.
Postcode districts covered here: ZE2 for washrooms and wet areas. Close to Toogs, our area also takes in Hamnavoe (1 mile north), Scalloway (4 miles north-east), Cunningsburgh (4 miles south-east), Bremirehoull (4 miles south-east) and Aithsetter (5 miles south-east). A short drive away, we cover Lerwick (7 miles north-east), Sound (7 miles north-east) and Sandwick (7 miles south-east). Where a site is remote or on an island, travel and materials need planning ahead, so the full address helps from the start.

On site: what to expect
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked, ready for your sign-off. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Toogs. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- We start by inspecting the fittings and joints and flagging problems sealant can’t solve.
- The phasing is agreed so there are always facilities open.
- Failed silicone is removed completely and the surfaces cleaned of every trace.
- We clean and dry every surface so the new sealant can grip.
- We lay a sanitary silicone bead and tool it smooth so it is easy to clean.
- Rooms reopen after the product’s cure time, and we move to the next.
Preparing the site
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Make sure the joints can be reached

Advice
Maintenance after handover
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Act on the first split you see at a shower tray
- Add sealant joints to planned maintenance checks
- Don’t leave trays and floors sitting wet
- Photograph and log failed joints across the estate
Each room goes back into use only when the sealant has cured enough. We’ll tell you when the wet areas can be used and signage stays in place until that time.
In food areas, cleanability is something environmental health officers look at. Failed sealant around sinks and worktops is easy to put right in good time.
For managing agents and facilities managers
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Toogs can form part of a wider programme.
Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios around Toogs. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
What happens if it’s left?
Sealing on top of old silicone saves nothing. Silicone won’t grip silicone, so it lifts and holds moisture underneath. Full removal and proper cleaning is what makes the new joint last. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Toogs. Send photographs and we will quote for everything together.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.

Common problems we fix in Toogs
Much of the failed sealant we remove was applied over old silicone or residue. New silicone won’t grip the old so it peels away quickly.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Panel joints letting water behind
- Stained sealant around pans and urinals
- Resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed
- Complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms
For a hall at a building such as Burra Parish Church, resealing the kitchen and toilets can be fitted between bookings.
