About our washroom sealing in Norton
In a busy washroom, the sealant typically gives up long before the tiles or fittings. Around basins, urinals, cubicles, IPS panels and shower trays it takes water, soap, cleaning chemicals and knocks every day and mould that roots into it can’t be cleaned away. The fix is to remove it completely and reseal with sanitary silicone containing anti-mould additives. The enquiries we see most involve stained sealant around pans and urinals and sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling, on kitchens and tea points, urinals and WCs and showers, trays and wet room floors. For commercial sealant work in Norton, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
In and around smaller places like Norton, washroom work is often in halls, pubs, primary schools, care homes and holiday accommodation. Mould gets into sealant in any washroom that doesn’t dry out, and once it’s in, the sealant is replaced.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Wet areas in Norton’s workplaces
Norton has three care or nursing homes no more than 2 miles away. In care settings, wet rooms, assisted bathrooms and en suites rely on clean, sound sealant. Each room is kept out of use only as long as the sealant needs. Norton is about 52 miles from central London, in a commuter belt where offices and business parks are common. Office toilets in the commuter belt are in use from first arrivals to last departures, so we phase work to keep some facilities open.
For a school such as Ormiston Six Villages Academy, washroom and kitchen sealant can be renewed around term dates. Church halls and community buildings, such as those at The Parish Church of St Mary, have kitchens and toilets used by many groups, and their sanitary sealant works hard.
Norton is about 4 miles north of Bognor Regis, in West Sussex. Any commercial site in Norton is covered. Across West Sussex, 373 places are covered, Norton among them. There’s a separate page for Portsmouth, about 18 miles away.

Common problems we fix in Norton
Decorators’ caulk and general sealants sometimes end up where sanitary silicone belongs. They aren’t made for constant wetting and they discolour and fail early.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Split or peeling sealant at shower trays
- Mould spotting along silicone joints
- Panel joints letting water behind
- Complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms
If you manage an office at a site such as Chichester Business Park. (1.2 miles west of Norton), the washrooms and tea points can be done a floor at a time.

How the job changes by surface
Basins and vanity tops
Vanity tops and basins are splashed all day, so the wall joint and bowl surrounds tend to fail before anything else. We remove the old bead and lay a fresh one of sanitary silicone.
Healthcare and care settings
Clinics, hospitals and care homes need joints that can be kept clean. Your infection-control and estates rules are followed and any permits the site uses.
General trades versus a specialist
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Commercial clients in Norton
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
Why deal with it now?
Leaving the job until a shutdown often means living with it for months. With phasing, the work can go ahead while most facilities stay open. Around Norton, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Send photographs of each area and we will quote for the lot.
A quote for washrooms and wet areas depends on quantities, condition and access. Call for a quote.

Norton: questions and answers
Will you work in a care home in Norton without moving residents out?
Yes. We agree rooms and times with the manager and work a few areas at a time. We follow the home’s own procedures throughout.
Would you work within a site like St Richard's Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
When can the area be used after sealing?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
Is it OK to put new silicone on top of the old?
The failed bead is always removed. Fresh silicone can’t key to an old bead so a bead over the top fails quickly.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a visit before quoting.
What guarantee comes with washroom resealing?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we carry public liability insurance.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
From enquiry to sign-off

For work around Norton, we aim to finish in one visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
