Washroom sealing for commercial buildings in Vidlin
Accessible toilets, shower rooms and changing rooms have joints that work harder than most: wet-floor edges, tray perimeters, basin tops and the line where flooring meets the wall. Gaps in those places let water get under the floor or behind panels, so we look at them closely. We work on showers, trays and wet room floors, urinals and WCs and accessible toilets and changing rooms, and the failures we are asked to look at most are sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling and failed sealant behind washroom basins. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Vidlin, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Hotels and holiday accommodation in rural Scotland have busy and quiet seasons, so washroom work is often best planned for quieter months.
Work we carry out in the Shetland Islands comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will come back to it.

Different surfaces, different methods
Wet-room floors and floor-to-wall joints
Wet-room floors and the joints where flooring turns up the wall need to stay sound. Floor perimeters and sealant joints near drains are resealed.
Urinals and WC pans
Floor joints around WC pans are often forgotten. They are checked with everything else.
What else we do in Vidlin
How a job runs
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. For a building near Vidlin, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- Every room is surveyed and the failed joints listed.
- 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

Advice
What happens if it’s left?
A tired-looking washroom doesn’t always need a refurbishment. Where tiles, panels and fittings are sound, new sealant may be enough to put it right for now. Around smaller places like Vidlin, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, giving water time to get in. Early resealing prevents it.
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 we will put a fixed figure on it.

Washroom sealing in Vidlin: the local picture
Vidlin lies within about 1 mile of the sea, and coastal places often have hotels, guest houses and holiday accommodation with busy seasons. Washrooms used guest after guest wear their sanitary silicone faster, which is why off-season resealing makes sense. Island jobs, Vidlin among them, are planned around the ferry and the forecast. Knowing how many washrooms there are lets us plan the days on the island.
Washrooms near Vidlin get the old silicone stripped out and a fresh anti-mould bead on dry joints. Around Vidlin, we keep some washrooms open while others are resealed.
Vidlin is in the Shetland Islands. Commercial clients in Vidlin can call on us for washrooms and wet areas, as part of our coverage of the Shetland Islands. Our the Shetland Islands coverage takes in 63 places.

Vidlin: questions and answers
Will you travel to Vidlin on the island?
Yes. Every Scottish council area is within our area, and that includes island locations such as Vidlin. We plan island jobs around the ferry and the forecast, and bring everything the job needs on the first crossing.
Do we have to close all our washrooms in Vidlin 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.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit typically takes between a morning and a week or so, set by the number of rooms and the phasing you need. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Which sealant will you use?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Will you quote for a small job?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Send details for a fixed quote.
Do you do washroom sealing in healthcare settings?
We do. Your infection-control rules, estates requirements and permits are followed, and phase the work so areas keep facilities.
How long before the toilets can reopen?
That varies with the sealant and the room temperature. You’ll get a reopening time for each area, and signs stay up until then.
What we can’t put right
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We’ll tell you if the real problem is one of these:
- Mould caused by poor ventilation, which will return until the extract is fixed
- Leaks through tanking or membranes below the finishes
- Vanity carcasses that have swollen
If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Kitchens and tea points
- Urinals and WCs

Should maintenance staff do it?
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
