Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.
When something else is needed
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Vanity carcasses that have swollen
- A dripping waste or valve behind a panel
- Fittings that move too much to hold a bead
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Urinals and WCs
- Kitchens and tea points
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- Vanity units and basins
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
How we handle washroom sealing in Ingatestone
Closing all the facilities in a building isn’t an option. We phase the work one washroom, one bank of cubicles or one changing room at a time, so there are always facilities in use. Give us your site hours and access windows and the phasing is planned around them. If you have sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling and failed sealant behind washroom basins, we can put it right. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Ingatestone, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
In a smaller place such as Ingatestone, commercial washrooms tend to be in schools, pubs, cafés, surgeries, care homes and sports clubs. However small, each needs the old sealant removed completely and anti-mould sanitary silicone applied to clean, dry joints.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

How the job changes by surface
Healthcare and care settings
Healthcare work is phased so wards, clinics or residents’ areas keep their facilities. Tell us what records you need and we will confirm with the quote.
Showers and trays
Shower trays move under foot and are wet all day. Tray perimeters are a frequent source of leaks.

Doing it in-house
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
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.
Our process
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself usually taking a few hours for one toilet block, with bigger buildings phased across a number of visits. Work in places the size of Ingatestone is planned as a single visit where we can. Clear photos and measurements help us bring the right products.
- We survey each room, count the joints and note anything behind them that needs another trade.
- We agree which rooms close and when, so users always have somewhere to go.
- We strip out the old bead and clean off the residue left behind.
- Joints are cleaned, degreased and dried before sealing.
- New sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives goes in and is tooled neat.
- Rooms reopen after the product’s cure time, and we move to the next.
Getting the site ready
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

What affects the price in Ingatestone
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It allows for:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Distance, for remote addresses
- How much there is to seal
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.
Sending details for a quote
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Any dates the work must fit around
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
Common questions from Ingatestone clients
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as Writtle University College Cow Watering Campus?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Mayflower Community Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators.
Will you come and look before quoting?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Simple work can often be priced from photos, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Is any job too small?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Send details for a fixed quote.
Do you do washroom sealing in healthcare settings?
We do. Your infection-control rules, estates requirements and permits are followed, and phase the work so areas keep facilities.
Do you use special sealant for toilets and showers?
Sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives in most cases. We use neutral-cure versions on stone, some metals and near mirrors.
Looking after the joints
For the best life from the joints:
- Clean sealant with gentle products and a soft cloth
- Clear standing water from shower floors where possible
- Act on the first split you see at a shower tray
- Keep a record of which washrooms need attention
Squeegeeing showers and trays after heavy use helps. Standing water on a joint all day shortens its life.
Mouldy sealant only gets harder to ignore, and complaints follow. Dealing with it while it’s just the sealant keeps it simple.
