About our washroom sealing in Richborough Port
Accessible WCs, showers and changing areas have their own pinch points: shower trays, wet-room floor edges, basins and floor-to-wall junctions. Gaps in those places let water get under the floor or behind panels so they get particular attention. We work on IPS panels and cubicles, showers, trays and wet room floors and kitchens and tea points, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed and black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Richborough Port, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Community buildings around smaller places like Richborough Port have kitchens and toilets used by many people. Resealing sinks, worktops and WCs with anti-mould silicone keeps them clean and watertight.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Why deal with it now?
Washrooms shape how visitors judge a building. Guests, clients, pupils and patients notice stained joints even when the room is otherwise spotless. Fresh sanitary silicone lifts a room with very little disruption. Older rural buildings around Richborough Port move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
Why us?
- Workmanship guaranteed for 12 months
- A range of standard colours, depending on the product
- A Constructionline member, so easy to vet
- Colour options checked against the specified product

What we can’t put right
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Hollow tiles or loose panels behind the joint
- Mould caused by poor ventilation, which will return until the extract is fixed
- Swollen or delaminated boards behind panels or vanity tops
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll say what we think.

Washroom sealing in Richborough Port: the local picture
Richborough Port sits close to the coast, within about 2 miles, and coastal hotels, guest houses and holiday sites tend to fill up in the busy months. Heavy seasonal use is hard on shower and basin sealant, which is why off-season resealing makes sense. Central London is about 64 miles from Richborough Port, 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, and resealing in phases keeps facilities available.
For a school such as Sir Roger Manwood's School, washroom and kitchen sealant can be renewed around term dates. Healthcare washrooms on sites such as Ramsgate General Hospital, 3.2 miles north-east of Richborough Port, are resealed area by area, under the site’s own infection-control rules. Units at estates like Old Timber Yard Industrial Estate, 2.8 miles to the north-east of Richborough Port, have welfare blocks whose showers and toilets see shift after shift.

Advice
For managing agents and facilities managers
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Richborough Port can sit alongside others in a wider programme across Kent.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
What the job involves on each surface
Wet-room floors and floor-to-wall joints
Wet floors are common in accessible showers and changing rooms so the edges are checked carefully.
Showers and trays
If a tray moves too much or is cracked, it needs attention first, and we will say so before resealing.
What sets the cost
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Any access equipment needed
- Removal of failed or old sealant
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
What we need to price the job
We can often quote from photos and a few details. It helps to include:
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Any specification or named product
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- The postcode of the building
The quickest route to a quote is a few photos and the site postcode. Send them through the quote form, or call 01277 525 020 or email us if you’d rather talk the job through.

Richborough Port: questions and answers
Do we have to close all our washrooms in Richborough Port 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.
Is a hospital such as Ramsgate General Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
When is resealing likely to be due?
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.
How many days will you need on site?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
Will you quote for a small job?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Will all the toilets be closed at once?
Just the room being resealed is out of use. Rooms go back into use once the sealant has cured, then we move on.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
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. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
