Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Honest limits
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Swollen or delaminated boards behind panels or vanity tops
- A room that stays damp because ventilation isn’t working
- Fittings that move too much to hold a bead
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Washroom sealing in Bow Common
You can’t shut every toilet in an office, school or hotel at once. We phase the work one washroom, one bank of cubicles or one changing room at a time, so staff, guests or pupils always have somewhere to go. Give us your site hours and access windows and the phasing is planned around them. We work on showers, trays and wet room floors, vanity units and basins and accessible toilets and changing rooms, and what we are called in for most is failed sealant behind washroom basins and split or peeling sealant at shower trays. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Bow Common, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Building managers in Bow Common typically need some facilities open throughout. Washrooms are done core by core or floor by floor, with signage and a plan agreed beforehand.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

Our process
We follow your site rules from the start: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. Once we’re cleared to begin, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact, and each area is checked before we leave it. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, and parking near a job is rarely simple. If there’s a loading bay, a car park or a permit we can use, tell us when you send details.
- First, the phasing is agreed so facilities stay open.
- Leaks, loose panels or damp are pointed out first.
- Old sealant is stripped and the faces prepared.
- The right sanitary or food-safe sealant is applied.
- We give you a reopening time for every room.
Getting the site ready
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

What sets the cost
These are the things that shape the price:
- Phasing around occupants
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- The size and state of each joint
- Travel to remote or island sites
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
Sending details for a quote
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- The postcode of the building
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.

Common problems we fix in Bow Common
Decorators’ caulk and general sealants sometimes end up where sanitary silicone belongs. They don’t stand up to constant water, and they stain, crack or wash out.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Shower tray joints that have opened up
- A new bead over an old one coming away
- Black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift
- Failed sealant behind washroom basins
Student showers at universities like University of Cumbria in London (to the south of Bow Common) see more use than most, and their silicone shows it.

Commercial washrooms in Bow Common
In London buildings, toilets and showers generally need to stay partly open, so we take one block of facilities out of use at a time. Bow Common has nine 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. Each room is kept out of use only as long as the sealant needs.
On an industrial estate such as Thomas Road Industrial Estate (less than half a mile south of Bow Common), staff toilets, showers and canteens are where sanitary sealant takes the most wear. For a site such as Mile End Hospital, 1 mile to the north-west of Bow Common, sanitary joints in clinical areas need sound, cleanable sealant and a careful method.

Why deal with it now?
When a washroom looks worn, a refit isn’t the only answer. Where tiles, panels and fittings are sound, new sealant may be enough to put it right while bigger works are planned. In Bow Common, each extra visit means more notices, permits and disruption, so a proper job first time, with the old sealant fully removed, is worth it.
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
