Washroom sealing in Wick
Since 2005 we have resealed commercial washrooms for facilities teams, contractors and building owners. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with CSCS-carded applicators. We are fully insured. Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If you have a new bead over an old one coming away and failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen, we can help. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Wick tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Hotels and holiday accommodation in rural Scotland have busy and quiet seasons, and resealing washrooms in the quieter months keeps rooms available when they’re needed.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Wet areas in Wick’s workplaces
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Wick, 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, so resealing in the quieter months keeps rooms ready. Wick is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Inside, ventilation and use decide how fast washroom sealant moulds, whatever the weather.
At a hospital like Caithness General Hospital, less than half a mile to the west of Wick, patient and staff washrooms are best done in short phases agreed with the ward. En suites at hotels like Mackays Hotel, under half a mile to the west of Wick, are cleaned daily, which wears silicone over time.
Wick is in Highland. Across the KW1 postcode area, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Wick is one of 256 places in Highland on our list for washrooms and wet areas.
We take on washrooms and wet areas across the KW1 postcode area. For a building on Market Street, Argyle Square and High Street or nearby, we can quote for washrooms and wet areas. Access to Wick is via the A99 and A882 among other routes. Close to Wick, our area also takes in Whiterow (1 mile south), Staxigoe (1 mile north-east), Ackergillshore (2 miles north), Haster (3 miles west) and Reiss (3 miles north-west). Wick is one of the busier places in Highland, and we take on washrooms and wet areas for its commercial and public buildings. Where a site is remote or on an island, travel and materials need planning ahead, so the full address helps from the start.
Local landmarks in Wick
In Wick, that means premises near The Alexander Bain pub and Bignold Park, among other places. Wick has its own railway station: Wick station. Nearby you’ll also find Wick Heritage Museum (under half a mile south-west) and Castle of Old Wick (1.2 miles south). For a walk, there’s Loch Hempriggs.
Honest limits
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Hollow tiles or loose panels behind the joint
- A dripping waste or valve behind a panel
- Vanity carcasses that have swollen
If you’re not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Urinals and WCs
- Vanity units and basins
- Kitchens and tea points
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
Why it’s worth doing now in Wick
A tired washroom says a lot about how a building is run. Guests, clients, pupils and patients notice stained joints before they notice much else. Fresh sanitary silicone lifts a room with very little disruption. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, and for a smaller place like Wick, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
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.

Advice
Doing it in-house
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Do you need washroom sealing in Wick?
Sometimes the sealant fails because something behind it is moving or wet: loose fixings, a dripping trap or damp in the wall. We check for that first and say if it needs a plumber or another trade.
Things that usually lead to an enquiry:
- Complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms
- Stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops
- Split or peeling sealant at shower trays
- Failed joints along IPS and cubicle panels
Schools such as Wick High School have toilets, changing rooms and kitchens that are best resealed in the holidays.
What to look for in a quote
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
Common questions from Wick clients
Do hotels near Wick have to close for sealant work?
Rarely, if ever. We take a few rooms out at a time. We agree the order of rooms and the timings with you before we start.
Is a hospital such as Caithness General Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
What guarantee comes with washroom resealing?
Every job carries our 12-month guarantee. It applies to our workmanship, not to plumbing leaks or damp from poor ventilation.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Is any job too small?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Which silicone is right for commercial washrooms?
An anti-mould sanitary silicone for most washroom joints. We use neutral-cure versions on stone, some metals and near mirrors.
What else we do in Wick
Keeping the joints sound
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Keep washrooms out of use until we say the sealant has cured
- Don’t leave trays and floors sitting wet
- Share your site rules when you send details
- Keep a record of which washrooms need attention
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.
Small numbers of failed joints are quick to phase in. Left until every washroom is affected, it becomes a bigger programme with more phasing to plan.
