Elmer: questions and answers
Will our hotel in Elmer need to close for the work?
In the majority of cases no closure is needed: we work room by room or floor by floor. The plan is built around your bookings.
Could you schedule work at a campus like University of Chichester (Bognor Campus) for the vacation?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
It depends on the product. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Can washrooms stay open while you work?
Just the room being resealed is out of use. Each room reopens after the sealant’s cure time and we start the next.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Can weather delay the job?
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. Internal work is far less affected.
How we handle washroom sealing in Elmer
For clinics, hospitals and care homes, sealed joints matter for infection control as much as appearance. Your estates and infection-control requirements, and any permits the site uses, shape how we work. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote. Most enquiries involve stained sealant around pans and urinals and failed sealant behind washroom basins, across IPS panels and cubicles, vanity units and basins and kitchens and tea points. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Elmer? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
A place of Elmer’s size will typically have a few buildings with commercial washrooms: a school, a surgery, a pub or café, perhaps a care home. However small, each needs the old sealant removed completely and anti-mould sanitary silicone applied to clean, dry joints.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will come back to it.

General trades versus a specialist
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
Our process
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself usually takes half a day to a day per washroom, depending on the number of fittings, and we clear our waste as we work. What matters most for a job in Elmer is a clear list of what needs doing, so send photos of each area. You will then get a fixed price for the work.
- We agree which washrooms close and when.
- Anything behind the joints that needs another trade is flagged.
- 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.
What we need from you
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

Keeping Elmer washrooms open while we work
Elmer sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile, and seaside hospitality typically has a peak season that works washrooms hard. Showers and en suites in constant use are where silicone moulds and splits first, so we plan the work for quieter weeks where possible. Central London is about 54 miles from Elmer. Washrooms in commuter-belt offices take constant weekday traffic, and resealing in phases keeps facilities available.
At a university such as University of Chichester (Bognor Campus), which lies west of Elmer, summer is the usual window for resealing residence bathrooms. On a healthcare site such as Bognor Regis War Memorial Hospital (2.9 miles west of Elmer), washroom work starts with the infection-control team’s sign-off.
Elmer is about 3 miles east of Bognor Regis, in West Sussex. Looking for washroom sealing in Elmer? We can help, as we do across West Sussex. Elmer is one of 373 places we cover in West Sussex for washrooms and wet areas. There’s a separate page for Portsmouth, about 20 miles away.

Nearby you will also find Bognor Regis Museum (3.1 miles west) and Bognor Regis War Memorial Hospital (2.9 miles west).
Aftercare for building managers
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Add sealant joints to planned maintenance checks
- Avoid scourers and harsh descalers on silicone
- Act on the first split you see at a shower tray
- Note failing joints building by building
Any failure in our workmanship within the 12-month guarantee is ours to put right. After that, a routine look catches failing joints early.
A few failed joints can be resealed with hardly any disruption. Left until every washroom is affected, it becomes a bigger programme with more phasing to plan.

What sets the cost
What shapes the price:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
Before you send an enquiry
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- Access details, including height
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- What the building is and how it’s used
- The product your specification calls for
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
Signs you need washroom sealing in Elmer
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 check for that first and tell you if another trade is needed.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms
- Shower tray joints that have opened up
- Mould spotting along silicone joints
- Gaps where vanity tops meet the wall
Units at estates like Rudford Industrial Estate (1.8 miles north-east of Elmer) have welfare blocks whose showers and toilets see shift after shift.

How the job changes by surface
Basins and vanity tops
Basin joints get wet every time someone washes their hands, so the joint to the wall and around each bowl fails early. They are resealed with anti-mould sanitary silicone.
Kitchens and tea points
Kitchen joints need to be smooth and sealed so they can be cleaned properly. Where food contact is possible, we use a hygienic, food-safe sealant.
