Washroom sealing in Hamble-le-Rice
In a commercial washroom, sealant is usually the first thing to wear out. Around basins, urinals, cubicles, IPS panels and shower trays it takes water, soap, cleaning chemicals and knocks every day, and once mould grows into it, it can’t be scrubbed out. We strip it out and lay new anti-mould sanitary silicone. The enquiries we see most involve shower tray joints that have opened up and sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling, across vanity units and basins, IPS panels and cubicles and urinals and WCs. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Hamble-le-Rice, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
In a smaller place such as Hamble-le-Rice, commercial washrooms tend to be in schools, pubs, cafés, surgeries, care homes and sports clubs. They don’t need a big crew, but they do need old sealant fully cut out before anti-mould silicone goes on.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Common questions from Hamble-le-Rice clients
Is Hamble-le-Rice too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Hamble-le-Rice are covered as much as the big towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Fareham Community Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Will all the toilets be closed at once?
Only the area we’re working in is closed. Rooms go back into use once the sealant has cured, then we move on.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Is it OK to put new silicone on top of the old?
We always remove it. Fresh silicone can’t key to an old bead, so sealing over it soon peels.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
How the job changes by surface
Kitchens and tea points
Worktop, sink and splashback joints in tea points take water and food. Sound joints keep those surfaces easy to clean.
Showers and trays
A tray that rocks or has cracked won’t be fixed by sealant, and we’ll say so before resealing.
Cost factors for washrooms and wet areas
Before we quote, we look at:
- How much there is to seal
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- The site’s rules and procedures
The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.
Details that help us quote
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- The postcode of the building
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.

Washroom sealing in Hamble-le-Rice: the local picture
Hamble-le-Rice sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile, and coastal places often have hotels, guest houses and holiday accommodation with busy seasons. Bathrooms turned round daily in the busy months need sound, cleanable joints, which is why off-season resealing makes sense. Central London is about 69 miles from Hamble-le-Rice, within the office belt around the capital. Business park offices have washrooms in daily use by staff, which is why the work is phased.
On a healthcare site such as Fareham Community Hospital, which lies east of Hamble-le-Rice, washroom work starts with the infection-control team’s sign-off. Church halls and community buildings, such as those at Church of St Andrew, have kitchens and toilets used by many groups, and their sanitary sealant works hard.

Our process

- Old sealant is stripped and the faces prepared.
- The right sanitary or food-safe sealant is applied.

When to call us in Hamble-le-Rice
A lot of failed washroom sealant was laid over an old bead or a dirty surface. New silicone won’t grip the old, so it soon lets go.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans
- Users noticing mouldy joints
- Sealant stained black around basins and showers
- Resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed
Pupil toilets at schools like Hamble Primary School take heavy daily use, and the holidays give the window to reseal.
Before you book anyone
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
Maintenance after handover
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Keep extract fans working and vents clear
- Share your site rules when you send details
- Note failing joints building by building
- Include joints in routine washroom inspections
If a joint we sealed fails within 12 months, tell us and we will look at it. After that, a routine look catches failing joints early.
In food areas, cleanability is something environmental health officers look at. Resealing sinks, worktops and splashbacks before an inspection is a simple step.
Why it’s worth doing now in Hamble-le-Rice
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. Sealant hardens, cracks and loses grip with age, UV and movement. Replacing it before it fails keeps water out.
