How the job changes by surface
Showers and trays
If a tray moves too much or is cracked, it needs attention first, and we will say so before resealing.
Kitchens and tea points
Kitchen joints need to be smooth and sealed so they can be cleaned properly. Where food contact is possible, we use a hygienic, food-safe sealant.
Washroom sealing in Shatterling, done properly
Accessible toilets, shower rooms and changing rooms have joints that work harder than most: wet-floor edges, tray perimeters, basin tops and the line where flooring meets the wall. Gaps in those places let water get under the floor or behind panels, so we look at them closely. We work on accessible toilets and changing rooms, urinals and WCs and IPS panels and cubicles, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are open joints at the base of cubicle panels and black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift. For commercial sealant work in Shatterling, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
In and around smaller places like Shatterling, 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.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. Should something we installed fail, ring 01277 525 020 or email us and we will come back to it.

After the work
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Inspect washroom sealant regularly
- Make sure washroom ventilation is running
- Don’t leave trays and floors sitting wet
- Note failing joints building by building
Ventilation is half the battle. A room that stays damp will grow mould on almost anything, so get faulty extract looked at.
A few failed joints can be resealed with hardly any disruption. Left, it tends to become a building-wide job with more phasing to plan.
Common problems we fix in Shatterling
Decorators’ caulk and general sealants sometimes end up where sanitary silicone belongs. They aren’t made for constant wetting and they discolour and fail early.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Failed joints along IPS and cubicle panels
- Shower tray joints that have opened up
- Discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans
- Users noticing mouldy joints
Pupil toilets at schools like Wingham Primary School take heavy daily use, and the holidays give the window to reseal.

Shatterling: questions and answers
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like St Martins Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Is Shatterling too far out for you?
No. Places such as Shatterling are covered as much as the big towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
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’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, as many construction sites ask for.
What will the job cost?
There isn’t a price list, as every site differs. Send photographs or drawings and we’ll price it at a fixed figure.
Do you phase washroom resealing?
Only the area we are working in is closed. Each room reopens after the sealant’s cure time, then we move on.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
