Commercial sealant in South Portobello, done properly
In student and care accommodation, there are often many near-identical bathrooms. We agree a programme and work through them in order, fitting around residents and staff. We work on welfare facilities, rental portfolios and hotel bathrooms, and the jobs we see most are whole floors of tired en suites and sealant failing again soon after quick repairs.
In Scotland, building work comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. For buildings in South Portobello, fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, and washroom and kitchen sealant is chosen for heavy use.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Signs you need commercial sealant in South Portobello
Commercial bathrooms get far more use than domestic ones, and daily cleaning with strong chemicals wears sealant down. That’s why sealant fails sooner.
The most common problems we see are:
- Tired sealant ahead of a health and safety audit
- Large numbers of bathrooms needing the same work
- Washroom sealant that looks dirty however often it’s cleaned
- Failed floor-level joints in accessible wet rooms
If you look after a building such as Portobello High School, sealant in washrooms, kitchens and changing areas can be renewed around term times or opening hours.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which colour the sealant will be
- How long to leave it before use
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
Can I do it myself?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
What happens if it’s left?
Fixing rooms one complaint at a time is the slow way. A planned programme deals with every room in order, keeping disruption down and costs clear. For landlords in South Portobello, damp and leaks can be a Repairing Standard issue, so failed sealant is best replaced before it becomes a complaint.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
What you get with us
- Full insurance on every job
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
