How we handle washroom sealing in Hurst
You can’t shut every toilet in an office, school or hotel at once. We phase the work one washroom, one bank of cubicles or one changing room at a time, so there are always facilities in use. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them. If you have failed joints along IPS and cubicle panels and shower tray joints that have opened up, we can help, on IPS panels and cubicles, kitchens and tea points and accessible toilets and changing rooms alike. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Hurst, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
In and around smaller places like Hurst, washroom work is often in halls, pubs, primary schools, care homes and holiday accommodation. Mould gets into sealant in any washroom that doesn’t dry out, and once it’s in, the sealant is replaced.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

General trades versus a specialist
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
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.
Hurst: questions and answers
Is Hurst too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across Greater London and the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Wokingham Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Can you reseal washrooms in healthcare buildings?
Yes. Your infection-control rules, estates requirements and permits are followed, and phase the work so areas keep facilities.
Is colour matching possible?
That depends on the product. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
Is it OK to put new silicone on top of the old?
We always remove it. New silicone won’t stick to the old, so sealing over it soon peels.
How long does a job like this take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Is any job too small?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Photos and a description are enough to start.
What the job involves on each surface
Urinals and WC pans
Floor joints around WC pans are often forgotten. They are checked with everything else.
Showers and trays
A tray that rocks or has cracked won’t be fixed by sealant, and we’ll say so before resealing.
What sealant work can’t fix
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We’ll tell you if the real problem is one of these:
- Failed tanking beneath a wet-room floor or behind tiles
- Leaking pipes, traps, wastes or cisterns, which need a plumber
- A room that stays damp because ventilation isn’t working
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Showers, trays and wet room floors

Related advice
Do you need washroom sealing in Hurst?
Washrooms are warm, damp and full of organic residue, and silicone joints hold onto all three. Anti-mould additives help, but in a poorly ventilated room mould can still take hold eventually.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Users noticing mouldy joints
- Stained sealant around pans and urinals
- Failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen
- Sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling
Toilets at places like Loddon Vale Shopping Centre, 1.5 miles west of Hurst, are cleaned constantly, which is hard on silicone.

After the work
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Act on the first split you see at a shower tray
- Keep washrooms out of use until we say the sealant has cured
- Don’t leave trays and floors sitting wet
- Make sure washroom ventilation is running
Add washroom sealant to routine inspections. Check for mould spots, splits, lifting edges and open joints at trays, basins and urinals and log what you find.
A few failed joints can be resealed with hardly any disruption. Left until every washroom is affected, it becomes a bigger programme and more closures to manage.
