Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.
Keeping the joints sound
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Keep washrooms out of use until we say the sealant has cured
- Don’t leave an open joint at a basin or tray
- Tell us about infection-control or permit rules before we quote
- Clean sealant with gentle products and a soft cloth
Where possible, have shower floors and trays squeegeed after busy periods. Standing water on a joint all day shortens its life.
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.
Washroom sealing in Plaish, done properly
In healthcare and care settings, sealing is part of keeping surfaces cleanable. We work to your organisation’s estates and infection-control requirements and any site permits. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote. We work on urinals and WCs, accessible toilets and changing rooms and vanity units and basins, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean and sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling. Most enquiries from Plaish start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
In and around smaller places like Plaish, 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.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant.

Why it’s worth doing now in Plaish
Leaving the job until a shutdown often means living with it for months. Phasing lets it happen now, with facilities kept in use. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Plaish, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote when you are ready.

Your questions answered
Can work at a site such as HTP Apprenticeship College fit around teaching?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we will plan the work around them. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.
Is Plaish too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
What will the job cost?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. To get one, ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with a description of the work.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Is colour matching possible?
In many cases, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
Which silicone is right for commercial washrooms?
It depends on the joint. Washrooms and showers take anti-mould sanitary silicone, and food areas take a hygienic, food-safe sealant where food contact is possible.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
When something else is needed
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Water from plumbing, not from a joint
- Mould caused by poor ventilation, which will return until the extract is fixed
- Leaks through tanking or membranes below the finishes
If you’re not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. Once we’re cleared to begin, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact. Jobs in and around smaller places like Plaish are usually planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- We survey each room, count the joints and note anything behind them that needs another trade.
- We agree which rooms close and when, so users always have somewhere to go.
- The failed silicone is stripped and every face scraped clean of residue.
- Joints are cleaned, degreased and dried before sealing.
- We lay a sanitary silicone bead and tool it smooth so it is easy to clean.
- Each room is handed back once the sealant has had its cure time.
Getting the site ready
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

Related advice
When to call us in Plaish
A lot of failed washroom sealant was laid over an old bead or a dirty surface. Silicone won’t adhere to a silicone bead so it peels away quickly.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Gaps where vanity tops meet the wall
- Washrooms that look worn because of the sealant
- Shower tray joints that have opened up
- Resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed
Healthcare washrooms on sites such as Laidlaw Day Hospital (2.3 miles north-east of Plaish) are resealed area by area, under the site’s own infection-control rules.
What your quote should include
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- How they’ll work around occupants
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- The named product and why it was chosen
