Sometimes the sealant fails because something behind it is moving or wet: a loose panel, a leaking waste or water coming through the wall. We check for that first and tell you if another trade is needed.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms
- Panel joints letting water behind
- Open joints along basins and vanity units
- Split or peeling sealant at shower trays
Halls linked to places like Bailiffscourt Chapel host groups all week, which is hard on kitchen and toilet sealant.

- Inspect washroom sealant regularly

Keeping Atherington washrooms open while we work
Atherington lies within about 1 mile of the sea, and places by the sea often rely on visitors, so their hotels and holiday lets see heavy seasonal use. Heavy seasonal use is hard on shower and basin sealant, so resealing in the quieter months keeps rooms ready. Atherington lies roughly 53 miles out from central London, within the office belt around the capital. Washrooms in commuter-belt offices take constant weekday traffic, so we work a block of facilities at a time.
For a campus such as University of Chichester (Bognor Campus), which lies west of Atherington, showers in residences and washrooms in teaching blocks can be programmed around term dates. Staff changing rooms and patient toilets at places like Zachary Merton Hospital (3.4 miles east of Atherington) need cleanable, sound silicone.

What else we do in Atherington
Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchens and tea points
Staff kitchens and tea points have joints at worktops, sinks and splashbacks. Sound joints keep those surfaces easy to clean.
Urinals and WC pans
Joints around urinals and WC pans take splashes, cleaning chemicals and knocks. Once they discolour or split, they hold odours and look unhygienic.
Cost factors for washrooms and wet areas
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Phasing around occupants
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- How much existing material needs removing
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.
