Washroom sealing for commercial buildings in Trinity
We reseal washrooms and wet areas in offices, hotels, schools, universities, gyms, healthcare buildings and care homes, along with staff kitchens and tea points. Product and method follow how hard each area is used and cleaned. We work on kitchens and tea points, IPS panels and cubicles and showers, trays and wet room floors, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are split or peeling sealant at shower trays and urinal joints that look unhygienic. For commercial sealant work in Trinity, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
In Scotland’s cities, university, hospital and office estates have washrooms and wet areas in nearly every building. Phased resealing, agreed with the estates or facilities team, keeps buildings working.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Cost factors for washrooms and wet areas

- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- The size and state of each joint
- Removal of failed or old sealant
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

Questions we’re asked in Trinity
Do hotels near Trinity have to close for sealant work?
Rarely, if ever. We take a few rooms out at a time. The plan is built around your bookings.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Western General Hospital (Edinburgh)?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, including public liability cover.
Is old silicone taken out first?
We always remove it. New silicone won’t stick to the old so a bead over the top fails quickly.
How soon can a washroom be used after resealing?
The silicone needs time to cure before water reaches it. Phasing is planned with the cure time in mind so there are always rooms open.
Can you clean the mould off instead of resealing?
Not for long. The mould is inside the silicone, so it comes back however often it’s cleaned. Replacement is the lasting fix.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
Maintenance after handover
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Clean sealant with gentle products and a soft cloth
- Include joints in routine washroom inspections
- Note failing joints building by building
- Make sure washroom ventilation is running
If a joint we sealed fails within 12 months, tell us and we’ll look at it. Beyond that, regular checks keep small problems small.
Boards behind panels and vanity tops can swell when water gets past a failed joint. After that, those parts need replacing rather than resealing.
Toilets, showers and kitchens around Trinity
Trinity is within about 1 mile of the coast, and seaside hospitality typically has a peak season that works washrooms hard. Washrooms used guest after guest wear their sanitary silicone faster, so resealing in the quieter months keeps rooms ready. Trinity has a good number of hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Behind every hotel door there’s a bathroom whose sealant will need renewing sooner or later. The work can go floor by floor, agreed with housekeeping.
Toilets at colleges like Royal College of General Practitioners Edinburgh, 1.6 miles to the south of Trinity, take heavy use from students and staff alike. In a centre such as Granton Retail Park, which lies west of Trinity, public washrooms are resealed a block of facilities at a time.
Trinity is about 2 miles north of Edinburgh, in Edinburgh. Any commercial site in Trinity is covered. We work across 174 places in Edinburgh.

Common problems we fix in Trinity
Sometimes the sealant fails because something behind it is moving or wet: loose fixings, a dripping trap or damp in the wall. We look for it before resealing and say if it needs a plumber or another trade.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Sealant stained black around basins and showers
- Failed sealant behind washroom basins
- Shower tray joints that have opened up
- Urinal joints that look unhygienic
Welfare facilities in units on estates such as North Leith Sands Industrial Estate (to the east of Trinity) have showers, toilets and kitchens with sealant that works hard.

Related advice
What the job involves on each surface
Urinals and WC pans
Pan and urinal joints face constant cleaning and splashing. Once they discolour or split, they hold odours and look unhygienic.
Healthcare and care settings
Accessible and assisted washrooms are used and cleaned intensively, so their joints often need renewing sooner.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
