Washroom sealing in Newbury's
Closing all the facilities in a building isn’t an option. Work is phased by room or by section, so staff, guests or pupils always have somewhere to go. Give us your site hours and access windows and the phasing is planned around them. If you have sealant lifting along a tray edge and complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms, we can put it right, on urinals and WCs, accessible toilets and changing rooms and showers, trays and wet room floors alike. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Newbury's, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Smaller places such as Newbury's still have commercial washrooms and kitchens: in halls, pubs, schools, care homes and farm-based businesses. Mould gets into sealant in any washroom that doesn’t dry out, and once it’s in, the sealant is replaced.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

How the job changes by surface
Basins and vanity tops
Basin joints get wet every time someone washes their hands, so the joint to the wall and around each bowl fails early. They are resealed with anti-mould sanitary silicone.
Urinals and WC pans
Joints around urinals and WC pans take splashes, cleaning chemicals and knocks. Once they discolour or split, they hold odours and make the room look neglected.
What sets the cost
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- The total length or number of joints
- Which sealant the job calls for
- How much existing material needs removing
- The size and state of each joint
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
What we need to price the job
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Access details, including height
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
A handful of photos and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Send them through the quote form, or speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over if you’d rather talk the job through.

Commercial washrooms in Newbury's
Central London is about 35 miles from Newbury's, 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.
Pupil toilets at schools like Uplands Community College take heavy daily use, and the holidays give the window to reseal. Halls linked to places like Rehoboth Chapel host groups all week, which is hard on kitchen and toilet sealant. Units at estates like Durgates Industrial Estate (to the south-west of Newbury's) have welfare blocks whose showers and toilets see shift after shift.

When something else is needed
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Failed tanking beneath a wet-room floor or behind tiles
- Vanity carcasses that have swollen
- Hollow tiles or loose panels behind the joint
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Vanity units and basins
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- Kitchens and tea points
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- Urinals and WCs
Maintenance after handover
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Clean sealant with gentle products and a soft cloth
- Keep a record of which washrooms need attention
- Squeegee showers and trays after busy periods
- Inspect washroom sealant regularly
Any failure in our workmanship within the 12-month guarantee is ours to put right. Beyond that, regular checks keep small problems small.
Mould in a joint spreads along the bead and into nearby grout, and complaints follow. Dealing with it while it’s just the sealant keeps it simple.
Your questions answered
Is a smaller place like Newbury's outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Do we have to close all our washrooms in Newbury's for resealing?
Rarely all at once: work is phased so some facilities are always available. Each area is handed back once the sealant has cured enough to use.
Which silicone is right for commercial washrooms?
Each area gets the grade that suits it. Most washroom joints take sanitary silicone while kitchens may need a food-safe grade.
How long does a job like this take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
How do you choose the sealant?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
