Washroom sealing across Hilsea
Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.
Leave it or put it right?
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. A failed joint lets water into a building whatever its size. Early resealing avoids the damage that follows a leak.
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
What you get with us
- RAL and finish matching where the product range allows
- Work to your specification and the manufacturer’s guidance

About our washroom sealing in Hilsea
Since 2005 we have resealed commercial washrooms for facilities teams, contractors and building owners. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member. We are fully insured. Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If you have gaps where vanity tops meet the wall and urinal joints that look unhygienic, we can put it right. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Hilsea, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
In a smaller place such as Hilsea, 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.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Wet areas in Hilsea’s workplaces
Hilsea is within about 1 mile of the coast, and coastal hotels, guest houses and holiday sites tend to fill up in the busy months. Heavy seasonal use is hard on shower and basin sealant, so resealing in the quieter months keeps rooms ready. There are plenty of hotels within about 2 miles of Hilsea. Each has en suites, back-of-house toilets and kitchens with sealant that moulds and splits.
Toilets at places like Victory Retail Park, 1.7 miles to the south-west of Hilsea, are cleaned constantly, so silicone needs to be sound and smooth. For an occupier at a site such as Limberline Industrial Estate, under half a mile to the east of Hilsea, the canteen and welfare facilities need cleanable joints as much as any office.
Hilsea is about 2 miles north of Portsmouth, in Portsmouth. We send applicators to Hilsea for washrooms and wet areas. 19 places across Portsmouth fall within our area, including Hilsea.
We take on washrooms and wet areas across the PO2, PO3 and PO6 postcode area. For a building on Vita Road, Conan Road and Arras Road or nearby, we can quote for washrooms and wet areas. We also cover Cosham (1 mile north), North End (1 mile south-west), Tipner (1 mile south-west), Wymering (1 mile north) and Rudmore (1 mile south-west). Nearby towns on our patch include Southsea (3 miles south), Portsea (3 miles south-west) and Portsmouth Point (3 miles south-west).

What we are called out for in Hilsea
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 look for it before resealing and tell you if another trade is needed.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- A new bead over an old one coming away
- Mould spotting along silicone joints
- Failed joints along IPS and cubicle panels
- Split or peeling sealant at shower trays
For a campus such as University of Portsmouth, 2.5 miles to the south of Hilsea, showers in residences and washrooms in teaching blocks can be programmed around term dates.
What your quote should include
- What site paperwork they can supply
- How they’ll work around occupants
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
Looking after the joints
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Leave signs up until the cure time is over
- Include joints in routine washroom inspections
- Tell us about infection-control or permit rules before we quote
- Don’t leave an open joint at a basin or tray
Ask your cleaning team to use gentle products and soft cloths on sealant. Strong acids, solvents and scourers wear the surface over time.
Mouldy sealant only gets harder to ignore and users notice. Dealing with it while it’s just the sealant keeps it simple.
Questions we are asked in Hilsea
Can you work on a hospital site such as Queen Alexandra Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Does a hotel in Hilsea need to shut while its sealant is renewed?
Rarely, if ever. We take a few rooms out at a time. Tell us your quiet periods and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
It 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.
Do you need to see the site first?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a visit before quoting.
What do you charge?
It depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a quote.
Is there a guarantee on the work?
A 12-month guarantee covers the work. It applies to our workmanship, not to plumbing leaks or damp from poor ventilation.
Other services in Hilsea
Different surfaces, different methods
Urinals and WC pans
Urinal backs, troughs and slab joints are resealed with sanitary silicone once the whole of the old bead has gone.
Wet-room floors and floor-to-wall joints
Floor edges in wet areas are where water most often escapes. We reseal the floor-to-wall junctions and around drains where sealant is used.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Hilsea
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
