When to call us in Patcham
Decorators’ caulk and general sealants sometimes end up where sanitary silicone belongs. They aren’t made for constant wetting, and they stain, crack or wash out.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Urinal joints that look unhygienic
- Resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed
- Failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen
- Washrooms that look worn because of the sealant
Welfare facilities in units on estates such as Hollingbury Industrial Estate (to the east of Patcham) have showers, toilets and kitchens with sealant that works hard.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Their public liability cover
- How they’ll work around occupants
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
Washroom sealing for commercial buildings in Patcham
Whether it’s a single toilet block in Patcham or a programme across several buildings, the route is the same: details first, then a fixed quote, then the work, then the 12-month guarantee. A few photos and a count of fittings are enough for a quick quote and a site visit is an option. If you have a new bead over an old one coming away and open joints at the base of cubicle panels, we can put it right, on vanity units and basins, showers, trays and wet room floors and urinals and WCs alike. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Patcham tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
A place of Patcham’s size will typically have a few buildings with commercial washrooms: a school, a surgery, a pub or café, perhaps a care home. However small, each needs the old sealant removed completely and anti-mould sanitary silicone applied to clean, dry joints.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant.

What the job involves on each surface
Changing rooms and gyms
Gym and leisure changing rooms see showers running most of the day so sealant there works very hard. We use anti-mould sanitary silicone throughout.
Wet-room floors and floor-to-wall joints
We seal the visible joints; we don’t install or repair waterproofing below and point it out if water appears to rise from below.
When it isn’t the sealant
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Panel boards already damaged by water
- Failed tanking beneath a wet-room floor or behind tiles
- A room that stays damp because ventilation isn’t working
If you’re not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Urinals and WCs
- Kitchens and tea points

Busy facilities in and around Patcham
Patcham sits close to the coast, within about 3 miles, and coastal places often have hotels, guest houses and holiday accommodation with busy seasons. Showers and en suites in constant use are where silicone moulds and splits first, so we plan the work for quieter weeks where possible. Patcham has a number of hotels close by, all within 2 miles. En suite bathrooms, staff changing rooms and kitchens all need their sanitary silicone renewed in time. The work can go floor by floor, agreed with housekeeping.
En suites at hotels like Preston Park Hotel (1.2 miles south of Patcham) are cleaned daily, which wears silicone over time. At a hospital like The Montefiore Hospital (2.3 miles south of Patcham), patient and staff washrooms are best done in short phases agreed with the ward.

Questions about Patcham
Must a hotel around Patcham close while you work?
Rarely, if ever. We take a few rooms out at a time. The plan is built around your bookings.
Do you work in occupied care homes around Patcham?
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.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
That depends on the product. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
How long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit usually takes a morning or so for a small washroom, longer where showers and changing rooms are included. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
Doing it in-house
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
