How we handle washroom sealing in Bicknacre
Washroom joints need the right sealant, not whatever is to hand. Sanitary silicone contains additives that resist mould, and neutral-cure types are used where acetoxy silicone could attack some metals, stone or mirror backings. Where food contact is possible, we use a hygienic, food-safe grade. Site teams most often ask us about a new bead over an old one coming away and kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean, on accessible toilets and changing rooms, kitchens and tea points and showers, trays and wet room floors. Searching for sealant specialists in Bicknacre? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Smaller places such as Bicknacre still have commercial washrooms and kitchens: in halls, pubs, schools, care homes and farm-based businesses. Sealant that has gone black with mould normally can’t be cleaned, so it is cut out and replaced.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Surface by surface
Showers and trays
In staff, hotel and changing-room showers, the tray joint and wall corners take the hardest use. Every joint is stripped, degreased, dried and given a new bead.
Wet-room floors and floor-to-wall joints
Changing rooms and accessible showers often have wet floors, so their perimeter joints get close attention.

Common problems we fix in Bicknacre
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 look for it before resealing and say if it needs a plumber or another trade.
Look out for the following:
- Shower tray joints that have opened up
- Open joints at the base of cubicle panels
- A new bead over an old one coming away
- Users noticing mouldy joints
For a school such as Priory Primary School, washroom and kitchen sealant can be renewed around term dates.

Questions about Bicknacre
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Baddow Hospital, something you do?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Will all the washrooms in our Bicknacre building be closed at once?
Not all at once. We take one block of facilities at a time. We’ll tell you the curing time for the product before we start.
Can you reseal washrooms in healthcare buildings?
Yes, healthcare and care settings are part of our work. Any records you need are confirmed with the quote before we start.
What guarantee comes with washroom resealing?
Our workmanship has a 12-month guarantee, and we carry public liability insurance.
Will you quote for a small job?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Photos and a description are enough to start.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit usually takes half a day to a day per washroom, depending on the number of fittings. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
On site: what to expect
Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. For work around Bicknacre, we aim to finish in one visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- We start by inspecting the fittings and joints and flagging problems sealant can’t solve.
- A phasing plan keeps part of the building’s facilities in use at all times.
- Failed silicone is removed completely and the surfaces cleaned of every trace.
- Joints are cleaned, degreased and dried before sealing.
- A bead of anti-mould sanitary silicone goes in and is tooled to a smooth, cleanable profile.
- Each room is handed back once the sealant has had its cure time.

Related advice
For managing agents and facilities managers
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
What happens if it’s left?
A failed joint behind a basin or along a shower tray lets water run where it shouldn’t. In a commercial building that can mean damaged boards, stained ceilings on the floor below and odours, and fixing that takes far more work than resealing. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Bicknacre, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
