Washroom sealing across Margaretting Tye
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Surface by surface
Healthcare and care settings
Accessible and assisted washrooms are used and cleaned intensively, so their joints often need renewing sooner.
Urinals and WC pans
We reseal around urinals and pans with a sanitary grade once the whole of the old bead has gone.
Washroom sealing in Margaretting Tye, done properly
In a commercial washroom, sealant is normally the first thing to wear out. Basin tops, urinal backs, panel joints and shower trays put it under water, chemicals and daily cleaning, and once mould grows into it, it can’t be scrubbed out. The fix is to remove it completely and reseal with sanitary silicone containing anti-mould additives. We work on vanity units and basins, accessible toilets and changing rooms and showers, trays and wet room floors, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are panel joints letting water behind and washrooms that look worn because of the sealant. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Margaretting Tye, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Halls and community buildings near places like Margaretting Tye are used by different groups through the week, and their toilets and kitchens show it. Fresh anti-mould sanitary silicone at sinks, worktops and toilets keeps them cleanable.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

What we can’t put right
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Water from plumbing, not from a joint
- Condensation from failed extract fans
- Failed tanking beneath a wet-room floor or behind tiles
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will say what we think.

Margaretting Tye: questions and answers
Is a hospital such as Chelmsford and Essex Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Can work at a site such as Anglia Ruskin University fit around teaching?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Which silicone is right for commercial washrooms?
It depends on the joint. Most washroom joints take sanitary silicone while kitchens may need a food-safe grade.
Can you quote from photographs?
Many jobs can be quoted from photographs, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
It depends on the product specified. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
Which sealant will you use?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Is it OK to put new silicone on top of the old?
The whole of the old bead is removed and the surfaces cleaned before resealing. That’s what makes the new joint last.
Looking after the joints
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Keep a record of which washrooms need attention
- Keep extract fans working and vents clear
- Brief cleaning staff to treat joints gently
- Mention any site permits or estates rules at quote stage
Each room goes back into use only when the sealant has cured enough. We’ll tell you when the wet areas can be used, and it helps if signs stay up until then.
Mouldy sealant only gets harder to ignore and users notice. Dealing with it while it’s just the sealant keeps it simple.

Should maintenance staff do it?
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
On site: what to expect
