What else we do in Coldharbour
Surface by surface
IPS and cubicle panels
IPS panels and cubicle systems have joints at the wall, the floor and the worktop. Those joints protect the boards behind from water.
Wet-room floors and floor-to-wall joints
Sealant at a wet-room floor edge is not a substitute for the waterproofing underneath and point it out if water appears to rise from below.
Cost factors for washrooms and wet areas
These are the things that shape the price:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- How accessible the joints are
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- The size and state of each joint
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
Details that help us quote
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- When you need the work done
- The type of building and who uses it
- The product your specification calls for
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we will fill any gaps with a visit.
Why deal with it now?
A tired washroom says a lot about how a building is run. Visitors notice black sealant before they notice much else. Resealing is a modest task with a very visible payoff. Converted and older buildings near places like Coldharbour tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Why us?
- Coloured sealants to suit the setting, where available
- Colours chosen to suit frames, cladding or finishes where possible
- A fixed quote before work starts
- Colour options checked against the specified product

Signs you need washroom sealing in Coldharbour
Commercial cleaning is harder on sealant than everyday use. Harsh products, abrasive pads and pressure washing break down a joint’s surface and edges, and dirt and mould then get a foothold.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Gaps where vanity tops meet the wall
- Resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed
- Kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean
- Mould spotting along silicone joints
Student showers at universities like University of Kent - Tonbridge (2.4 miles south of Coldharbour) see more use than most, and their silicone shows it.
Before you book anyone
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
Common questions from Coldharbour clients
Can work at a site such as University of Kent - Tonbridge fit around teaching?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we will plan the work around them. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Is a smaller place like Coldharbour outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
How long does a typical visit take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
How long do sealant joints last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Does weather matter for sealant 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.
Do you do washroom sealing in healthcare settings?
Yes, healthcare and care settings are part of our work. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote.
When something else is needed
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Leaking pipes, traps, wastes or cisterns, which need a plumber
- Failed tanking beneath a wet-room floor or behind tiles
- Swollen or delaminated boards behind panels or vanity tops
If you are not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- Kitchens and tea points
- Urinals and WCs
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Vanity units and basins
On site: what to expect
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. Jobs in and around smaller places like Coldharbour are normally planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We start by inspecting the fittings and joints and flagging problems sealant can’t solve.
- The phasing is agreed so there are always facilities open.
- Failed silicone is removed completely and the surfaces cleaned of every trace.
- Each joint is degreased and left dry, because silicone won’t bond to damp or soapy surfaces.
- We lay a sanitary silicone bead and tool it smooth so it is easy to clean.
- Each room is handed back once the sealant has had its cure time.
What we need from you
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Let building users know which areas are affected
