What the job involves on each surface

Showers, floor edges and vanity units in changing rooms all need sound sealant and we look at them as one job.
Showers and trays
Shower joints in hotels, gyms and workplaces work hard. Each bead is stripped, the joint dried and new sealant laid.
Why it’s worth doing now in Foxash Estate
Waiting for a holiday closure can leave failing joints in place for a long time. With phasing, the work can go ahead while most facilities stay open. For buildings around smaller places like Foxash Estate, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote and we will explain how it’s made up.

After the work
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Respect the cure time before reopening each room
- Mention any site permits or estates rules at quote stage
- Don’t leave an open joint at a basin or tray
- Keep extract fans working and vents clear
We hand each area back once the silicone has had the cure time the product needs. We will tell you when the wet areas can be used, and it helps if signs stay up until then.
Water getting behind IPS panels and vanity units can swell the boards. After that, those parts need replacing rather than resealing.
Foxash Estate: questions and answers
Does a hotel in Foxash Estate need to shut while its sealant is renewed?
Rarely, if ever. We take a few rooms out at a time. Housekeeping and our team agree each day’s rooms.
Can work at a site such as University of Essex fit around teaching?
Yes. Education sites usually want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
Is colour matching possible?
That depends on the product specified. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Is any job too small?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Send details for a fixed quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
Will cleaning remove black mould from sealant?
Surface cleaning won’t reach mould that has rooted into the bead. We replace the sealant with an anti-mould sanitary grade and check the ventilation isn’t the cause.
Is old silicone taken out first?
The whole of the old bead is removed and the surfaces cleaned before resealing. It’s the difference between a joint that lasts and one that peels.
