Commercial sealant in Gowkshill
Landlords and agents with several properties can have bathrooms and kitchens resealed between tenancies. We can quote for several properties at once to keep things simple. We work on rental portfolios, office washrooms & kitchens and hotel bathrooms, and the jobs we see most are large numbers of bathrooms needing the same work and split sealant around staff kitchen worktops and sinks.
Commercial work around smaller Scottish places tends to mean hotels, guest houses, schools and halls rather than offices. Each needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints kept in good order.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Gowkshill and across Midlothian.

When to call us in Gowkshill
A hotel shower or office washroom is used many times a day, and they’re cleaned with strong products every day. So the silicone ages faster than it would at home.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Leaking joints in shower rooms and changing areas
- Sealant failing again soon after quick repairs
- Joints that need doing before an inspection or audit
- Whole floors of tired en suites
Community buildings like Newtongrange Parish Church are part of the picture too: its kitchen and washroom sealant needs looking after like anywhere else.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether you can choose the colour
- What product goes in the joint
- Whether VAT is included
- Is the old sealant removed completely?

Welfare facilities
Welfare facilities, shower rooms and changing areas need to stay usable. We can plan the work in sections.
Student & care accommodation
In care settings, we agree the order and timings with staff, and staff are told when each bathroom can be used.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Leave squeegees in busy showers
- Include the silicone on your room checklists
- Book larger programmes for quieter times of year
- Keep strong chemicals and scourers off the joints
Squeegees in guest and staff showers help: less water sits on the joints between uses.
Black sealant in a staff washroom or guest bathroom draws complaints. The longer it’s left, the deeper it grows into the silicone, so the fix is replacement.
Why it’s worth doing now in Gowkshill
Before an inspection, audit or busy season, sealant is easy to overlook. Booking it in good time leaves room for the cure time before the visit. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Combining jobs into one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits. We will give you a clear price for the lot.
Why book with us
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Full insurance on every job
