Our washroom sealing service in Portsmouth
Closing all the facilities in a building isn’t an option. We phase the work one washroom, one bank of cubicles or one changing room at a time, so staff, guests or pupils always have somewhere to go. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them. Most enquiries involve open joints at the base of cubicle panels and discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans, on urinals and WCs, kitchens and tea points and IPS panels and cubicles.
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work usually takes a few hours for one toilet block, with bigger buildings phased across a number of visits, and we clear our waste as we work.
- We agree which washrooms close and when.
- Leaks, loose panels or damp are pointed out first.
- Old sealant is stripped and the faces prepared.
- The right sanitary or food-safe sealant is applied.
- We give you a reopening time for every room.
What affects the price in Portsmouth

Washrooms and wet areas in Portsmouth
Restaurants, cafés and commercial kitchens in places such as Southsea, Milton and Landport need smooth, cleanable joints at worktops, sinks and wall cladding. Sanitary and hygienic sealants go in, food-safe where food could come into contact with it.
All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and much of the South East is within easy reach of the capital, so jobs in Portsmouth are planned with access, loading and parking in mind. Along the coast in Portsmouth, hospitality buildings tend to be busiest in the summer months, which makes the quieter months a good time for sealant work.
Portsmouth: At a hotel such as The Avenue Hotel, which lies north of Portsmouth, the quieter weeks are the time to reseal bathrooms. Staff changing rooms and patient toilets at places like St James Hospital, 1.6 miles to the south-east of Portsmouth, need cleanable, sound silicone.
Why act early?
Washrooms shape how visitors judge a building. Guests, clients, pupils and patients notice stained joints even when the room is otherwise spotless. Fresh sanitary silicone lifts a room with very little disruption.
Questions to ask before you book
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
Surface by surface
IPS and cubicle panels
Panel systems meet walls, floors and vanity tops at sealed joints. Those joints protect the boards behind from water.
Urinals and WC pans
Pan and urinal joints face constant cleaning and splashing. Once they discolour or split, they hold odours and make the room look neglected.
Common problems we fix in Portsmouth
Decorators’ caulk and general sealants sometimes end up where sanitary silicone belongs. They don’t stand up to constant water, and they stain, crack or wash out.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Urinal joints that look unhygienic
- Complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms
- Failed joints along IPS and cubicle panels
- Split or peeling sealant at shower trays
After the work
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Clean sealant with gentle products and a soft cloth
- Note failing joints building by building
- Leave signs up until the cure time is over
- Add sealant joints to planned maintenance checks
If a joint we sealed fails within 12 months, tell us and we’ll look at it. After that, a routine look catches failing joints early.
A few failed joints can be resealed with hardly any disruption. Left until every washroom is affected, it becomes a bigger programme with more phasing to plan.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
FAQs: Portsmouth
Do you guarantee washroom sealing?
A 12-month guarantee covers the work. It covers our workmanship rather than damage, leaks from plumbing or ventilation problems.
What do you charge?
Each job is quoted on its own details. To get one, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us with a description of the work.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us. Include photographs or drawings if you have them.
When can showers be used after new sealant?
The silicone needs time to cure before water reaches it. Phasing is planned with the cure time in mind so there are always rooms open.
Do you work in hospitals, clinics and care homes?
We work in clinics, hospitals and care homes. Any records you need are confirmed with the quote.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, tell us and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
