Doing it in-house
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Washroom sealing in Bicester
Our washroom work covers offices, hotels, schools and colleges, leisure centres and gyms, clinics and care homes, along with staff kitchens and tea points. The products and the method are chosen for how heavily each space is used. Most enquiries involve shower tray joints that have opened up and gaps where vanity tops meet the wall, across showers, trays and wet room floors, vanity units and basins and accessible toilets and changing rooms.

Common problems we fix in Bicester
A lot of failed washroom sealant was laid over an old bead or a dirty surface. New silicone won’t grip the old so it peels away quickly.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Sealant stained black around basins and showers
- Failed joints along IPS and cubicle panels
- Complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms
- Resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed
Office toilets at parks like Talisman Business Centre, 0.8 miles south of Bicester, take steady weekday use, and mouldy silicone soon shows.
Before you book anyone
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
Looking after the joints
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Keep a record of which washrooms need attention
- Report split joints at trays and basins early
- Share your site rules when you send details
- Add sealant joints to planned maintenance checks
We hand each area back once the silicone has had the cure time the product needs. You’ll be told when showers and basins can be used again and signage stays in place until that time.
Mouldy sealant only gets harder to ignore, and complaints follow. Replacing it early keeps the job to a reseal.
Why it’s worth doing now in Bicester
Bleaching black sealant may lighten it for a few days, but the mould is rooted in the silicone and comes back. Replacement deals with the cause in the joint and cleaners stop fighting a losing battle. Many buildings in towns like Bicester have been extended or altered, and joints where old meets new tend to fail first. Resealing them early protects the building behind.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

Bicester: questions and answers
Must a hotel around Bicester close while you work?
In the majority of cases no closure is needed: we work room by room or floor by floor. The plan is built around your bookings.
Can you work in a care home near Bicester with residents in?
Yes. We work around residents’ routines, a room or two at a time. Noise and disruption are kept to a minimum.
Do you take on small jobs?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Photos and a description are enough to start.
How do you choose the sealant?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
How soon can the area be used again?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day.
How do I request a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, as many construction sites ask for.
