Washroom sealing in Old Town
In a commercial washroom, sealant is typically 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. Site teams most often ask us about split or peeling sealant at shower trays and stained sealant around pans and urinals, on urinals and WCs, kitchens and tea points and showers, trays and wet room floors. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Old Town it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Around Old Town, washroom work usually comes one building at a time. A list and photos let us quote and plan so it’s done in one visit where possible.

Looking after the joints
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Mention any site permits or estates rules at quote stage
- Report split joints at trays and basins early
- Brief cleaning staff to treat joints gently
- Respect the cure time before reopening each room
Add washroom sealant to routine inspections. Check for mould spots, splits, lifting edges and open joints at trays, basins and urinals and log what you find.
A split joint at a shower tray can leak for a long time before anyone sees it. At that stage, boards or ceilings may need repair, so reseal when you first spot a split.
FAQs: Old Town
Could you schedule work at a campus like University of Brighton Eastbourne Campus for the vacation?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Eastbourne District General Hospital, something you do?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Do you work in Old Town?
Yes. We cover Old Town. For a quote, phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators.
Do you need to see the site first?
It depends on the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photos and measurements, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
How long will the new sealant last?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Washroom sealing in Old Town: the local picture
Old Town is within about 2 miles of the coast, and coastal places often have hotels, guest houses and holiday accommodation with busy seasons. Bathrooms turned round daily in the busy months need sound, cleanable joints, and the quieter months are the natural time to reseal. A 2-mile radius around Old Town takes in a good number of hotels. 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.
Healthcare washrooms on sites such as Eastbourne District General Hospital (to the north of Old Town) are resealed area by area, under the site’s own infection-control rules. Student showers at universities like University of Brighton Eastbourne Campus, 1.2 miles south of Old Town, see more use than most, and their silicone shows it. At a college such as East Sussex College Eastbourne, which lies north of Old Town, washroom and kitchen sealant is best renewed in the holidays or in phases during term.
Old Town is about 1 mile south-west of Eastbourne, in East Sussex.

Why act early in Old Town
A tired washroom says a lot about how a building is run. Visitors notice black sealant before they notice much else. Resealing is a modest task with a very visible payoff. For buildings in places like Old Town, one well-planned visit beats several small ones, so it’s worth dealing with every failing joint at once.

How the job changes by surface
Basins and vanity tops
Stone and some composite tops need a neutral-cure sealant, so the product is chosen to suit.
Urinals and WC pans
The joint between a pan and the floor is easy to overlook. They are checked with everything else.
