Washroom sealing in Gubbion's Green
Accessible toilets, shower rooms and changing rooms have joints that work harder than most: shower trays, wet-room floor edges, basins and floor-to-wall junctions. An open joint there lets water track under flooring or behind wall panels, so we look at them closely. We work on accessible toilets and changing rooms, kitchens and tea points and urinals and WCs, and what we are called in for most is sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling and shower tray joints that have opened up. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Gubbion's Green, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Smaller places such as Gubbion's Green still have commercial washrooms and kitchens: in halls, pubs, schools, care homes and farm-based businesses. Mould gets into sealant in any washroom that doesn’t dry out, and once it’s in, the sealant is replaced.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

Signs you need washroom sealing in Gubbion's Green
Commercial cleaning is harder on sealant than everyday use. Harsh products, abrasive pads and pressure washing break down a joint’s surface and edges, and dirt and mould then get a foothold.
Things that normally lead to an enquiry:
- Failed joints along IPS and cubicle panels
- Mould spotting along silicone joints
- Sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling
- Stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops
For buildings on a site such as Banters Lane Business Park (under half a mile north-west of Gubbion's Green), washrooms and tea points can be resealed in phases through the working week.
Questions to ask before you book
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- What site paperwork they can supply

FAQs: Gubbion's Green
Will the toilets in our Gubbion's Green building be out of use?
Not all at once. We take one block of facilities at a time. Sanitary silicone needs time to cure before the area is used, and we will tell you how long for the product used.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like William Julien Courtauld Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Will you quote for a small job?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Do you do washroom sealing in healthcare settings?
Yes, healthcare and care settings are part of our work. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote before we start.
Is it OK to put new silicone on top of the old?
The failed bead is always removed. Fresh silicone can’t key to an old bead so a bead over the top fails quickly.
When is resealing likely to be due?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Can washrooms stay open while you work?
We phase it so there are always facilities open. One washroom, one bank of cubicles or one changing room is done at a time. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is 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.
Aftercare for building managers
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Respect the cure time before reopening each room
- Avoid scourers and harsh descalers on silicone
- Report faulty extraction promptly
- Note failing joints building by building
Each room goes back into use only when the sealant has cured enough. You will be told when showers and basins can be used again, and it helps if signs stay up until then.
Inspectors look at whether kitchen surfaces can be kept clean. Failed sealant around sinks and worktops is easy to put right in good time.
Surface by surface
IPS and cubicle panels
Cubicle and IPS panels move when leaned on or knocked so the bead needs to cope with it. We check fixings before sealing.
Wet-room floors and floor-to-wall joints
Wet floors are common in accessible showers and changing rooms, so their perimeter joints get close attention.
Why deal with it now?
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. Converted and older buildings near places like Gubbion's Green tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
