How we handle washroom sealing in Arundel
In a busy washroom, the sealant usually gives up long before the tiles or fittings. Around basins, urinals, cubicles, IPS panels and shower trays it takes water, soap, cleaning chemicals and knocks every day, and once mould grows into it, it can’t be scrubbed out. We strip it out and lay new anti-mould sanitary silicone. We work on accessible toilets and changing rooms, showers, trays and wet room floors and kitchens and tea points, and what we are called in for most is split or peeling sealant at shower trays and open joints along basins and vanity units.

Jobs in a smaller place such as Arundel are often one building: a school’s toilets, a café kitchen, a surgery’s washrooms. A list and photos let us quote and plan so it’s done in one visit where possible.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Signs you need washroom sealing in Arundel
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 tell you if another trade is needed.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Sealant stained black around basins and showers
- Shower tray joints that have opened up
- Kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean
- Washrooms that look worn because of the sealant
For a hall at a building such as Trinity Congregational Church, resealing the kitchen and toilets can be fitted between bookings.

We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Access and working height
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.

Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- The type of building and who uses it
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available

Toilets, showers and kitchens around Arundel
A number of hotels sit less than 2 miles from Arundel. Behind every hotel door there’s a bathroom whose sealant will need renewing sooner or later. Arundel lies roughly 49 miles out from central London, in a commuter belt where offices and business parks are common. Office washrooms on business parks see heavy weekday use, and resealing in phases keeps facilities available.
For a school such as St Philip's Catholic Primary School, washroom and kitchen sealant can be renewed around term dates. At a hotel such as The Norfolk Hotel (under half a mile east of Arundel), the quieter weeks are the time to reseal bathrooms.

Questions about Arundel
Do hotels near Arundel have to close for sealant work?
Rarely, if ever. We take a few rooms out at a time. Housekeeping and our team agree each day’s rooms.
Is a hospital such as Arundel & District Community Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
What will the job cost?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. For yours, call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Is it OK to put new silicone on top of the old?
We always remove it. Fresh silicone can’t key to an old bead, so sealing over it soon peels.
How many days will you need on site?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
From enquiry to sign-off
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. What matters most for a job in Arundel is a clear list of what needs doing. A fixed quote follows.
- Every washroom is checked joint by joint, with loose panels, leaks or damp noted for the right trade.
- The phasing is agreed so there are always facilities open.
- Failed silicone is removed completely and the surfaces cleaned of every trace.
- We clean and dry every surface so the new sealant can grip.
- We lay a sanitary silicone bead and tool it smooth so it is easy to clean.
- You get a reopening time for every room, with signage left up until then.
Before we start on site
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Make sure the joints can be reached

Leave it or put it right?
Washrooms shape how visitors judge a building. Guests, clients, pupils and patients notice stained joints before they notice much else. Resealing is a modest task with a very visible payoff. Small buildings around Arundel suffer from failed joints as much as large ones. Catching it early means a reseal rather than repairs.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

Should maintenance staff do it?
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Keeping the joints sound
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Respect the cure time before reopening each room
- Include joints in routine washroom inspections
- Report faulty extraction promptly
- Act on the first split you see at a shower tray
Ventilation is half the battle. Constant damp lets mould take hold even on anti-mould grades so report fans that aren’t working to your building services team.
A split joint at a shower tray can leak for a long time before anyone sees it. By then, other trades may be needed as well so failed joints are worth acting on quickly.
