Shanklin: questions and answers
Does a hotel in Shanklin need to shut while its sealant is renewed?
Almost never. The work is phased so most rooms stay available. The plan is built around your bookings.
Is Shanklin too far out for you?
Not at all. Shanklin is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can weather delay the job?
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. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work typically takes half a day to a day per washroom, depending on the number of fittings. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
Do you work in hospitals, clinics and care homes?
Yes. Your infection-control rules, estates requirements and permits are followed. The work is phased around patients or residents.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Washroom sealing in Shanklin
When mould has spotted a silicone joint, more cleaning won’t remove it. The mould has rooted into the silicone itself so it returns whatever the cleaning regime. Replacing the bead is the lasting treatment. If you have resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed and shower tray joints that have opened up, we can help. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Shanklin first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Around Shanklin, washroom work normally comes one building at a time. A list and photos let us quote and plan so it’s done in one visit where possible.
Work we carry out in the Isle of Wight comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will arrange a return visit.

Advice
Doing it in-house
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
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, which is what makes a joint last.
What sealant work can’t fix
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Water escaping beneath the floor rather than through a joint
- Vanity carcasses that have swollen
- Leaking pipes, traps, wastes or cisterns, which need a plumber
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Kitchens and tea points
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- Urinals and WCs
- Vanity units and basins
- IPS panels and cubicles
How the quote is worked out
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- How accessible the joints are
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
Before you send an enquiry
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- When you need the work done
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Access details, including height
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? We will quote against your scope and drawings you can plan around. For a chat about it beforehand, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Keeping Shanklin washrooms open while we work
With the shore within about 1 mile, Shanklin counts as a coastal location, and coastal hotels, guest houses and holiday sites tend to fill up in the busy months. Showers and en suites in constant use are where silicone moulds and splits first, so resealing in the quieter months keeps rooms ready. A 2-mile radius around Shanklin takes in a good number of hotels. En suite bathrooms, staff changing rooms and kitchens all need their sanitary silicone renewed in time. Rooms are done in turn so most stay available.
En suites at hotels like Marlborough Hotel, less than half a mile south-east of Shanklin, are cleaned daily, which wears silicone over time. At a hospital like Arthur Webster Memorial Hospital for Children, which lies north of Shanklin, patient and staff washrooms are best done in short phases agreed with the ward.

Why act early in Shanklin
A tired washroom says a lot about how a building is run. Visitors notice black sealant before they notice much else. Fresh sanitary silicone lifts a room with very little disruption. Small buildings around Shanklin suffer from failed joints as much as large ones. Catching it early means a reseal rather than repairs.
The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote when you are ready.
