Washroom sealing in Bapchild
In a busy washroom, the sealant normally gives up long before the tiles or fittings. Basin tops, urinal backs, panel joints and shower trays put it under water, chemicals and daily cleaning, and once mould grows into it, it can’t be scrubbed out. We strip it out and lay new anti-mould sanitary silicone. Most enquiries involve a new bead over an old one coming away and urinal joints that look unhygienic, on kitchens and tea points, urinals and WCs and vanity units and basins. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Bapchild is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Rural businesses near smaller places such as Bapchild, from cafés to event venues, rely on washrooms and kitchens that stay clean. We plan the work around bookings and opening times.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

How the quote is worked out
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- The total length or number of joints
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Phasing around occupants
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
Before you send an enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- The site address and postcode
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Any specification or named product
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
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.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.

What we can’t put right
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Swollen or delaminated boards behind panels or vanity tops
- Water from plumbing, not from a joint
- Leaks through tanking or membranes below the finishes
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll tell you honestly.

Your questions answered
Can work at a site such as KITE College fit around teaching?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we’ll plan the work around them. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Is a smaller place like Bapchild outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Is colour matching possible?
That depends on the product. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
How much does the work cost?
There isn’t a price list, because every site is different. Send photographs or drawings and we’ll price it at a fixed figure.
Is it OK to put new silicone on top of the old?
The failed bead is always removed. New silicone won’t stick to the old so a bead over the top fails quickly.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Will cleaning remove black mould from sealant?
Surface cleaning won’t reach mould that has rooted into the bead. New anti-mould sanitary silicone is the treatment and point out if ventilation is part of the problem.
Looking after the joints
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Share your site rules when you send details
- Respect the cure time before reopening each room
- Make sure washroom ventilation is running
- Photograph and log failed joints across the estate
Add washroom sealant to routine inspections. Look for black spotting, cracks, peeling edges and gaps at the busiest fittings and log what you find.
A few failed joints can be resealed with hardly any disruption. Left, it tends to become a building-wide job and more closures to manage.
Leave it or put it right?
Sealing on top of old silicone saves nothing. It doesn’t bond, so it peels and traps dirt behind it. Cutting out completely and cleaning back takes a little longer and lasts. Older rural buildings around Bapchild move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote.
