How we handle washroom sealing in Wester Broom
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. An open joint there lets water track under flooring or behind wall panels so they get particular attention. We work on showers, trays and wet room floors, vanity units and basins and urinals and WCs, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are washrooms that look worn because of the sealant and split or peeling sealant at shower trays. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Wester Broom, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
City hotels, restaurants and bars in Scotland need washrooms that look cared for and kitchens that clean easily. Washrooms get anti-mould sanitary silicone and kitchens hygienic sealant, food-safe where needed.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

Washroom sealing around Wester Broom: what changes locally
Wester Broom lies within about 3 miles of the sea, and coastal hotels, guest houses and holiday sites tend to fill up in the busy months. Heavy seasonal use is hard on shower and basin sealant, which is why off-season resealing makes sense. Wester Broom is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Even so, a washroom that doesn’t dry out between uses will see mould get into its sealant.
Staff changing rooms and patient toilets at places like Spire Murrayfield Hospital (to the east of Wester Broom) need cleanable, sound silicone. At a hotel such as Corstorphine Lodge Hotel, which lies north of Wester Broom, the quieter weeks are the time to reseal bathrooms.
Wester Broom is about 3 miles west of Edinburgh, in Edinburgh. Wester Broom sits inside our coverage and the rest of Edinburgh, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. Wester Broom is one of 174 places in Edinburgh on our list.

Common problems we fix in Wester Broom
Daily commercial cleaning wears sealant faster than people expect. Strong chemicals, scourers and jet washing roughen, discolour or lift a bead so grime sticks to the damaged surface.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops
- Complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms
- Discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans
- Resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed
At a retail site such as Corstorphine Retail Park (less than half a mile north of Wester Broom), public and staff toilets see heavy use, so mouldy or split sealant is best replaced in phases.
Before you book anyone
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
Should maintenance staff do it?
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.

What we can’t put right
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Leaking pipes, traps, wastes or cisterns, which need a plumber
- Hollow tiles or loose panels behind the joint
- A room that stays damp because ventilation isn’t working
If you are not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Urinals and WCs
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- Vanity units and basins
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- Kitchens and tea points
Maintenance after handover
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Report faulty extraction promptly
- Avoid scourers and harsh descalers on silicone
- Mention any site permits or estates rules at quote stage
- Inspect washroom sealant regularly
Include sealant joints in your planned maintenance checks. Check for mould spots, splits, lifting edges and open joints at trays, basins and urinals and log what you find.
Water getting behind IPS panels and vanity units can swell the boards. Once that happens, a reseal won’t fix them.
From enquiry to sign-off
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work normally takes half a day to a day per washroom, depending on the number of fittings, and we clear our waste as we work. Work on a big city site in Scotland usually involves inductions and permits. Pass on the site’s contractor rules when you get in touch.
- 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.
- The failed silicone is stripped and every face scraped clean of residue.
- We clean and dry every surface so the new sealant can grip.
- New sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives goes in and is tooled neat.
- Each room is handed back once the sealant has had its cure time.
What we need from you
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Arrange parking or a loading space

Common questions from Wester Broom clients
Must a hotel around Wester Broom close while you work?
Rarely, if ever. We take a few rooms out at a time. Tell us your quiet periods and access windows and we will plan around them.
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as Edinburgh Napier University - Sighthill Campus?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.
Who decides which product is used?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
How much does the work cost?

Is it possible to just clean mouldy silicone?
Not for long. The mould is inside the silicone so cleaning only lightens it for a while. Replacement is the lasting fix.
