How we handle washroom sealing in Colthrop
We reseal washrooms and wet areas in offices, hotels, schools, universities, gyms, healthcare buildings and care homes, along with staff kitchens and tea points. Product and method follow how hard each area is used and cleaned. We work on urinals and WCs, IPS panels and cubicles and accessible toilets and changing rooms, and the failures we are asked to look at most are sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling and users noticing mouldy joints. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Colthrop first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Halls and community buildings near places like Colthrop are used by different groups through the week, and their toilets and kitchens show it. Resealing sinks, worktops and WCs with anti-mould silicone keeps them clean and watertight.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Questions about Colthrop
Must every washroom in our Colthrop building shut while you work?
Rarely all at once: work is phased so some facilities are always available. We’ll tell you the curing time for the product before we start.
Can you work on a hospital site such as West Berkshire Community Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Do you do washroom sealing in healthcare settings?
Yes. We work to your estates and infection-control requirements and any site permits, and phase the work so areas keep facilities.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Why it’s worth doing now in Colthrop
Water gets behind panels and under floors through a failed joint. 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. Halls, stores and units around places like Colthrop may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.

Keeping the joints sound
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Leave signs up until the cure time is over
- Don’t leave an open joint at a basin or tray
- Include joints in routine washroom inspections
- Note failing joints building by building
Each room goes back into use only when the sealant has cured enough. You’ll be told when showers and basins can be used again, and it helps if signs stay up until then.
Mould in a joint spreads along the bead and into nearby grout, and complaints follow. Replacing it early keeps the job to a reseal.

When to call us in Colthrop
Cubicle panels, IPS panels and vanity units flex when people lean on them or doors are slammed, and shower trays shift under foot. A bead that can’t cope with the movement splits along one edge.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Failed joints along IPS and cubicle panels
- Shower tray joints that have opened up
- A new bead over an old one coming away
- Gaps where vanity tops meet the wall
Where you are responsible for a hall attached to a building such as St Mary's Church, its kitchen and toilets need sealant that stays cleanable.

- We agree which washrooms close and when.
- Leaks, loose panels or damp are pointed out first.
- Old sealant is stripped and the faces prepared.
- We reseal with the grade suited to each area.
- We give you a reopening time for every room.
What we need from you

- Let us know about inductions and permits

What sealant work can’t fix
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Condensation from failed extract fans
- Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint
- Vanity carcasses that have swollen
