Washroom sealing in Chigwell, done properly
Our washroom work covers offices, hotels, schools and colleges, leisure centres and gyms, clinics and care homes, plus the kitchens and tea points that go with them. The products and the method are chosen for how heavily each space is used. We work on accessible toilets and changing rooms, IPS panels and cubicles and urinals and WCs, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen and resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Chigwell first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Pub and restaurant kitchens around smaller places like Chigwell work hard on their joints. Sealed joints at sinks, worktops and splashbacks help keep the kitchen cleanable, using a food-safe product near food preparation.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Toilets, showers and kitchens around Chigwell
Three care or nursing homes sit less than 2 miles from Chigwell. In a care setting, a mouldy or lifting joint in a wet room is a hygiene issue as much as a cosmetic one. Work is agreed with the manager, around residents’ routines. Chigwell has a number of hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Hotel en suites take daily use, and tired silicone at trays and basins is one of the first things guests notice. The work can go floor by floor, agreed with housekeeping.
En suites at hotels like The Kings Head Hotel, 0.8 miles north of Chigwell, are cleaned daily, which wears silicone over time. At a hospital like The Holly Private Hospital, 2.1 miles west of Chigwell, patient and staff washrooms are best done in short phases agreed with the ward.

Common questions from Chigwell clients
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like University of Portsmouth Walthamstow Campus?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Can work in a care setting near Chigwell go ahead while residents are there?
Yes, with the manager deciding the order and timing of rooms. Noise and disruption are kept to a minimum.
How long will the new sealant last?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
In many cases, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Is it possible to just clean mouldy silicone?
Surface cleaning won’t reach mould that has rooted into the bead. New anti-mould sanitary silicone is the treatment and check the ventilation isn’t the cause.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
What we are called out for in Chigwell
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.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Stained sealant around pans and urinals
- Sealant stained black around basins and showers
- Stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops
- Sealant lifting along a tray edge
Colleges such as New City College, 2.4 miles to the north of Chigwell, have toilets, changing rooms and catering kitchens that can be resealed around term dates.

What the job involves on each surface
Urinals and WC pans
Floor joints around WC pans are often forgotten. We include them in the survey.
Basins and vanity tops
Basin joints get wet every time someone washes their hands, so the wall joint and bowl surrounds tend to fail before anything else. They are resealed with anti-mould sanitary silicone.
Keeping the joints sound
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Share your site rules when you send details
- Clear standing water from shower floors where possible
- Don’t leave an open joint at a basin or tray
- Photograph and log failed joints across the estate
Any failure in our workmanship within the 12-month guarantee is ours to put right. After that, a routine look catches failing joints early.
Inspectors look at whether kitchen surfaces can be kept clean. Failed sealant around sinks and worktops is easy to put right in good time.
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.
Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Our process
We follow your site rules from the start: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact, and each area is checked before we leave it. What matters most for a job in Chigwell is a clear list of what needs doing. You will then get a fixed price for the work.
- 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.
- The failed silicone is stripped and every face scraped clean of residue.
- Each joint is degreased and left dry, because silicone won’t bond to damp or soapy surfaces.
- New sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives goes in and is tooled neat.
- Rooms reopen after the product’s cure time, and we move to the next.
Preparing the site
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Send any specification or drawings in advance

Advice
When to bring in a specialist
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is 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, which is what makes a joint last.
