About our washroom sealing in Hythe
Not every silicone belongs in a washroom. Sanitary silicone contains additives that resist mould, and neutral-cure versions avoid the damage acetoxy types can do to some metals, stone and mirror backings. Where food contact is possible, we use a hygienic, food-safe grade. The enquiries we see most involve stained sealant around pans and urinals and washrooms that look worn because of the sealant, on showers, trays and wet room floors, accessible toilets and changing rooms and urinals and WCs. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Hythe first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
For schools in a town such as Hythe, term dates decide when the toilets and changing rooms can be resealed, whereas care homes and offices typically need a few rooms at a time. Give us the dates and times that suit and we’ll plan the work to fit.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. Should something we installed fail, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll come back to it.

From enquiry to sign-off
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Parking and loading for town-centre jobs in Hythe are worth mentioning when you send details. On estates and business parks it’s usually simpler.
- We agree which washrooms close and when.
- Leaks, loose panels or damp are pointed out first.
- Old sealant is stripped and the faces prepared.
- We reseal with the grade suited to each area.
- We give you a reopening time for every room.
Preparing the site
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

When to call us in Hythe
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.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Gaps where vanity tops meet the wall
- Stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops
- Users noticing mouldy joints
- Resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed
Units at estates like Shorncliffe Industrial Estate, 2.7 miles east of Hythe, have welfare blocks whose showers and toilets see shift after shift.
What your quote should include
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
Owners, agents and contractors
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. Programme, specification and site rules come first, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.

Toilets, showers and kitchens around Hythe
Hythe lies within about 1 mile of the sea, and coastal places often have hotels, guest houses and holiday accommodation with busy seasons. Showers and en suites in constant use are where silicone moulds and splits first, so we plan the work for quieter weeks where possible. At about 59 miles from central London, Hythe is within reach of the capital. Washrooms in commuter-belt offices take constant weekday traffic, so we phase work to keep some facilities open.
At a university such as University Centre Folkestone, which lies east of Hythe, summer is the usual window for resealing residence bathrooms. En suites at hotels like The Swan Hotel (less than half a mile east of Hythe) are cleaned daily, which wears silicone over time.
Hythe is about 4 miles west of Folkestone, in Kent. Our applicators travel to Hythe for work on washrooms and wet areas, handled exactly as we handle every other area.

Common questions from Hythe clients
Does a hotel in Hythe need to shut while its sealant is renewed?
Rarely. Rooms or floors are done in turn, so the rest of the hotel keeps trading. The plan is built around your bookings.
Can you work in a care home near Hythe with residents in?
Yes. Care settings are planned area by area, at times agreed with the home. Tell us about any infection-control or safeguarding requirements and we’ll work to them.
Is old silicone taken out first?
We always remove it. New silicone won’t stick to the old so a bead over the top fails quickly.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Which silicone is right for commercial washrooms?
It depends on the joint. Washrooms and showers take anti-mould sanitary silicone, and food areas take a hygienic, food-safe sealant where food contact is possible.
How long will the new sealant last?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
How long before the joints can be used?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
How the job changes by surface
Healthcare and care settings
Healthcare work is phased so wards, clinics or residents’ areas keep their facilities. Records you need can be confirmed with the quote.
Changing rooms and gyms
Changing rooms in gyms and leisure centres stay wet and warm, so mould is a constant battle. We use anti-mould sanitary silicone throughout.
Looking after the joints
For the best life from the joints:
- Don’t leave an open joint at a basin or tray
- Respect the cure time before reopening each room
- Photograph and log failed joints across the estate
- Don’t leave trays and floors sitting wet
Where possible, have shower floors and trays squeegeed after busy periods. Joints that sit wet for hours fail sooner.
In food areas, cleanability is something environmental health officers look at. Failed sealant around sinks and worktops is easy to put right in good time.
