Surface by surface
Basins and vanity tops
Water getting past a vanity top joint can swell the board beneath. Resealing early protects the unit.
Changing rooms and gyms
Changing rooms in gyms and leisure centres stay wet and warm so sealant there works very hard. Anti-mould sanitary silicone is the standard choice.
Washroom sealing in Bitterne Park, done properly
Facilities managers, contractors and building owners have used us for washroom sealing for over 20 years. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with CSCS-carded applicators. There is public liability insurance behind every job. Every resealed washroom carries our 12-month guarantee. We work on kitchens and tea points, showers, trays and wet room floors and vanity units and basins, and the failures we are asked to look at most are panel joints letting water behind and split or peeling sealant at shower trays. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Bitterne Park, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Jobs in a smaller place such as Bitterne Park are often one building: a school’s toilets, a café kitchen, a surgery’s washrooms. Photos of each area help us plan the visit and bring the right sealant.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

When it isn’t the sealant
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Fittings that move too much to hold a bead
- Leaking pipes, traps, wastes or cisterns, which need a plumber
- Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will say what we think.

What else we do in Bitterne Park
Signs you need washroom sealing in Bitterne Park
Much of the failed sealant we remove was applied over old silicone or residue. Silicone won’t adhere to a silicone bead so it peels away quickly.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Gaps where vanity tops meet the wall
- Sealant lifting along a tray edge
- Resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed
- Failed joints along IPS and cubicle panels
Staff changing rooms and patient toilets at places like Royal South Hants Hospital, 1.4 miles south-west of Bitterne Park, need cleanable, sound silicone.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Proof of insurance
- How they’ll work around occupants
Why it’s worth doing now in Bitterne Park
Washrooms shape how visitors judge a building. Guests, clients, pupils and patients notice stained joints even when the room is otherwise spotless. Resealing is a modest task with a very visible payoff. A failed joint lets water into a building whatever its size. Early resealing avoids the damage that follows a leak.
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote and we will explain how it’s made up.

Commercial washrooms in Bitterne Park
Bitterne Park is within about 3 miles of the coast, and places by the sea often rely on visitors, so their hotels and holiday lets see heavy seasonal use. Bathrooms turned round daily in the busy months need sound, cleanable joints, so resealing in the quieter months keeps rooms ready. Bitterne Park has four care or nursing homes no more than 2 miles away. In care settings, wet rooms, assisted bathrooms and en suites rely on clean, sound sealant. Rooms are done a few at a time at times agreed with the home.
Student showers at universities like University of Southampton (to the west of Bitterne Park) see more use than most, and their silicone shows it. For centre management at a site such as Marlands Shopping Centre (1.9 miles south-west of Bitterne Park), washroom work is planned around footfall.

Common questions from Bitterne Park clients
Does a hotel in Bitterne Park need to shut while its sealant is renewed?
Rarely, if ever. We take a few rooms out at a time. Tell us your quiet periods and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Is a hospital such as Royal South Hants Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, including public liability cover.
Will you quote for a small job?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Will you come and look before quoting?
It depends on the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs normally get a visit.
How long before the toilets can reopen?
Cure times vary by product and temperature. You will get a reopening time for each area before we leave it.
Do you work in hospitals, clinics and care homes?
We work in clinics, hospitals and care homes. Any records you need are confirmed with the quote before we start.
When to bring in a specialist
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, 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.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
