Doing it in-house
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
How we handle washroom sealing in Fingringhoe
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. Product and method follow how hard each area is used and cleaned. We work on showers, trays and wet room floors, IPS panels and cubicles and accessible toilets and changing rooms, and what we are called in for most is panel joints letting water behind and black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Fingringhoe is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Community buildings around smaller places like Fingringhoe have kitchens and toilets used by many people. Resealing sinks, worktops and WCs with anti-mould silicone keeps them clean and watertight.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Busy facilities in and around Fingringhoe
The sea is no more than about 2 miles from Fingringhoe, and coastal hotels, guest houses and holiday sites tend to fill up in the busy months. Washrooms used guest after guest wear their sanitary silicone faster, so resealing in the quieter months keeps rooms ready. At about 50 miles from central London, Fingringhoe is within reach of the capital, within the office belt around the capital. Office washrooms on business parks see heavy weekday use, so we work a block of facilities at a time.
Office washrooms on sites such as Wivenhoe Business Centre, 1.3 miles to the north-east of Fingringhoe, are in use all working day, so resealing is phased to keep some open. Halls linked to places like Church of St Andrew host groups all week, which is hard on kitchen and toilet sealant. Clinical washrooms at sites like Essex County Hospital, 3.8 miles north-west of Fingringhoe, are scheduled with the ward so the room is out of use for as little time as possible.

Different surfaces, different methods
Wet-room floors and floor-to-wall joints
Floor edges in wet areas are where water most often escapes. Floor perimeters and sealant joints near drains are resealed.
Basins and vanity tops
Vanity tops and basins are splashed all day, so the wall joint and bowl surrounds tend to fail before anything else. They are resealed with anti-mould sanitary silicone.

Why it’s worth doing now in Fingringhoe
Running fresh silicone along a failed bead hides the problem briefly. It doesn’t bond, so it peels and traps dirt behind it. Full removal and proper cleaning is what makes the new joint last. Around Fingringhoe, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Send photos of each area and we will quote for the lot.
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a quote when you are ready.

Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we will plan the work around them. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Is a hospital such as Essex County Hospital somewhere you can work?

How do we ask for a quote?
There are 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.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Is any job too small?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Do you use special sealant for toilets and showers?
An anti-mould sanitary silicone in most cases. Neutral-cure grades are used where acetoxy types could mark metals, stone or mirror backings.
