How we handle washroom sealing in Kingsclere
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. If you are dealing with users noticing mouldy joints and failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen, we can put it right, on vanity units and basins, IPS panels and cubicles and kitchens and tea points alike. Most enquiries from Kingsclere start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
A place of Kingsclere’s size will typically have a few buildings with commercial washrooms: a school, a surgery, a pub or café, perhaps a care home. They don’t need a big crew, but they do need old sealant fully cut out before anti-mould silicone goes on.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

When something else is needed
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Hollow tiles or loose panels behind the joint
- Vanity carcasses that have swollen
- Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint

Keeping Kingsclere washrooms open while we work
Kingsclere lies roughly 51 miles out from central London, in a commuter belt where offices and business parks are common. Washrooms in commuter-belt offices take constant weekday traffic, which is why the work is phased. There are a number of hotels within about 2 miles of Kingsclere. Each has en suites, back-of-house toilets and kitchens with sealant that moulds and splits. We work a handful of rooms at a time, so the hotel keeps letting the rest.
Hotels such as Swan Hotel, less than half a mile west of Kingsclere, have en suite bathrooms where tired silicone at the bath, tray and basin is replaced room by room. Schools such as Kingsclere Church of England Primary School have toilets, changing rooms and kitchens that are best resealed in the holidays. Healthcare estates like West Berkshire Community Hospital (6 miles north of Kingsclere) expect contractors to follow their permits and cleaning rules in every washroom.

Kingsclere: questions and answers
Is Kingsclere off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Is a hospital such as West Berkshire Community Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
How much does the work cost?
That depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we will price it properly.
Will you quote for a small job?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Send details for a fixed quote.
Can you quote from photos?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, let us know and we will send them with the quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Cost factors for washrooms and wet areas
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Access and working height
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
A quote for washrooms and wet areas depends on quantities, condition and access. Call for a quote.
Before you send an enquiry

Maintenance after handover
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Brief cleaning staff to treat joints gently
- Make sure washroom ventilation is running
- Don’t leave trays and floors sitting wet
- Act on the first split you see at a shower tray
Add washroom sealant to routine inspections. Check for mould spots, splits, lifting edges and open joints at trays, basins and urinals and photograph anything new.
Mouldy sealant only gets harder to ignore, and complaints follow. Replacing it early keeps the job to a reseal.

How the job changes by surface
Healthcare and care settings
In healthcare, sealed joints are part of infection control. Your infection-control and estates rules are followed and any permits the site uses.
Changing rooms and gyms
Showers, floor edges and vanity units in changing rooms all need sound sealant, and we survey them together.
Doing it in-house
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. 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.
On site: what to expect
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself typically takes a few hours for one toilet block, with bigger buildings phased across a number of visits, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Several jobs near Kingsclere can be grouped on one trip. Mention the building’s opening times and we’ll work within them.
- We inspect each washroom and record the joints to be resealed.
- You get a fixed quote with the phasing plan.
- The whole of the old bead is removed.
- Each joint is cleaned and left dry.
- New anti-mould sealant goes in and is tooled neat.
- Rooms reopen after the cure time.
Preparing the site
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Move anything stored against the joints
