About our washroom sealing in Dedridge
You can’t shut every toilet in an office, school or hotel at once. Work is phased by room or by section, so there are always facilities in use. Give us your site hours and access windows and the phasing is planned around them. We work on kitchens and tea points, accessible toilets and changing rooms and urinals and WCs, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are shower tray joints that have opened up and discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Dedridge, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
For washroom work around Dedridge, we plan so every room on the list is done in one trip where possible. Send photos and a room list and we will give a fixed quote.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

Maintenance after handover
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Include joints in routine washroom inspections
- Brief cleaning staff to treat joints gently
- Leave signs up until the cure time is over
- Report split joints at trays and basins early
We hand each area back once the silicone has had the cure time the product needs. You will be told when showers and basins can be used again and signage stays in place until that time.
A split joint at a shower tray can leak for a long time before anyone sees it. By then, other trades may be needed as well so failed joints are worth acting on quickly.

When to call us in Dedridge
Much of the failed sealant we remove was applied over old silicone or residue. Silicone won’t adhere to a silicone bead, so it soon lets go.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen
- Failed joints along IPS and cubicle panels
- A new bead over an old one coming away
- Black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift
For centre management at a site such as The Centre, which lies north of Dedridge, washroom work is planned around footfall.

Dedridge has five care or nursing homes no more than 2 miles away. In a care setting, a mouldy or lifting joint in a wet room is a hygiene issue as much as a cosmetic one. We plan the work with the manager so residents are disturbed as little as possible.

What sealant work can’t fix
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Leaking pipes, traps, wastes or cisterns, which need a plumber
- Failed tanking beneath a wet-room floor or behind tiles
- Fittings that move too much to hold a bead
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Dedridge: questions and answers
Will our hotel in Dedridge need to close for the work?
In most cases no closure is needed: we work room by room or floor by floor. Housekeeping and our team agree each day’s rooms.
Would you work within a site like St. Ellen’s Private Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
That depends on the product specified. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Is any job too small?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we are in, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. For work around Dedridge, we aim for one trip, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- Every washroom is checked joint by joint, with loose panels, leaks or damp noted for the right trade.
- We agree which rooms close and when, so users always have somewhere to go.
- We strip out the old bead and clean off the residue left behind.
- We clean and dry every surface so the new sealant can grip.
- A bead of anti-mould sanitary silicone goes in and is tooled to a smooth, cleanable profile.
- Each room is handed back once the sealant has had its cure time.
Getting the site ready
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed

Leave it or put it right?
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 Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around Dedridge before they leak.
Pricing washrooms and wet areas depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Ask us for a fixed quote.
