Common problems we fix in Shipton-under-Wychwood
Panels and vanity units move slightly in use, and shower trays shift under foot. If the joint wasn’t laid to take that movement, it tears or peels away.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Black mould inside silicone joints that cleaning can’t shift
- Resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed
- Stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops
- Shower tray joints that have opened up
Church halls and community buildings, such as those at Church of St Mary, have kitchens and toilets used by many groups, and their sanitary sealant works hard.
What your quote should include
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- How they’ll work around occupants
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
About our washroom sealing in Shipton-under-Wychwood
You can’t shut every toilet in an office, school or hotel at once. Work is phased by room or by section, so there are always facilities in use. Give us your site hours and access windows and the phasing is planned around them. We work on vanity units and basins, urinals and WCs and showers, trays and wet room floors, and the failures we are asked to look at most are sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling and users noticing mouldy joints.

What we can’t put right
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Loose panels, vanity units or tiles, which need fixing first
- Vanity carcasses that have swollen
- Failed tanking beneath a wet-room floor or behind tiles
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Urinals and WCs
- Kitchens and tea points
- Vanity units and basins
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- IPS panels and cubicles
Our process
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, and the work usually takes a few hours for one toilet block, with bigger buildings phased across a number of visits. For work around Shipton-under-Wychwood, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- Every room is surveyed and the failed joints listed.
- The fixed quote sets out the rooms, the products and the phasing.
- Old sealant is removed completely and the faces cleaned.
- Joints are degreased and dried.
- A sanitary silicone bead is laid and given a smooth tooled finish.
- Each area is handed back when ready.
What we need from you
- Point out any areas we must not close

Shipton-under-Wychwood: questions and answers
Do we have to close all our washrooms in Shipton-under-Wychwood for resealing?
Normally only some of them, for a short time. We work in phases so other facilities stay open. We’ll tell you the curing time for the product before we start.
Is Shipton-under-Wychwood too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as 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.
How long before the toilets can reopen?
The silicone needs time to cure before water reaches it. Phasing is planned with the cure time in mind so facilities are never short.
Is old silicone taken out first?
We always remove it. New silicone won’t stick to the old so a bead over the top fails quickly.
How long does a typical visit take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Can you send site paperwork?
Requirements differ from site to site, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.
Will you quote for a small job?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Maintenance after handover
After handover, these steps help:
- Squeegee showers and trays after busy periods
- Brief cleaning staff to treat joints gently
- Inspect washroom sealant regularly
- Photograph and log failed joints across the estate
Add washroom sealant to routine inspections. Check for mould spots, splits, lifting edges and open joints at trays, basins and urinals and photograph anything new.
Small numbers of failed joints are quick to phase in. Left, it tends to become a building-wide job with more phasing to plan.
