Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Cost factors for washrooms and wet areas
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- How much there is to seal
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Sending details for a quote
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Access details, including height
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
About our washroom sealing in Shorthampton
Washroom joints need the right sealant, not whatever is to hand. Sanitary grades carry anti-mould additives, and neutral-cure versions avoid the damage acetoxy types can do to some metals, stone and mirror backings. Where food contact is possible, we use a hygienic, food-safe grade. If you have sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling and complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Shorthampton? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
Farm shops, cafés and venues in converted rural buildings around places like Shorthampton have busy toilets and kitchens. We plan the work around bookings and opening times.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. Should something we installed fail, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll come back to it.

Do you need washroom sealing in Shorthampton?
Much of the failed sealant we remove was applied over old silicone or residue. New silicone won’t grip the old, so it soon lets go.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Mould spotting along silicone joints
- Shower tray joints that have opened up
- Open joints at the base of cubicle panels
- Kitchen worktop joints that can’t be kept clean
For buildings on a site such as Southill Business Park, 2.3 miles to the south-east of Shorthampton, washrooms and tea points can be resealed in phases through the working week.

- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
After the work
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Share your site rules when you send details
- Squeegee showers and trays after busy periods
- Inspect washroom sealant regularly
- Don’t leave an open joint at a basin or tray
If a joint we sealed fails within 12 months, tell us and we will look at it. After that, a routine look catches failing joints early.
Mouldy sealant only gets harder to ignore and users notice. Replacing it early keeps the job to a reseal.
Honest limits
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Panel boards already damaged by water
- Loose panels, vanity units or tiles, which need fixing first
- Condensation from failed extract fans
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Kitchens and tea points
- Urinals and WCs
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- Vanity units and basins
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- IPS panels and cubicles
Questions we are asked in Shorthampton
Do we have to close all our washrooms in Shorthampton for resealing?
Rarely all at once: work is phased so some facilities are always available. We will tell you the curing time for the product before we start.
What documents will you need to give us for a job in Shorthampton?
We will confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details, with the quote. We hold £5m public liability insurance, are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Can washrooms stay open while you work?
Just the room being resealed is out of use. Rooms go back into use once the sealant has cured and we start the next.
What will the job cost?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. For yours, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with a description of the work.
Do you cover Shorthampton?
Yes. We cover Shorthampton. For a quote, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Do you need to remove the old sealant?
The whole of the old bead is removed and the surfaces cleaned first. That’s what makes the new joint last.

When to bring in a specialist
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.

Our process
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Jobs in and around smaller places like Shorthampton are normally planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We inspect each washroom and record the joints to be resealed.
- The fixed quote sets out the rooms, the products and the phasing.
- The whole of the old bead is removed.
- Joints are degreased and dried.
- New anti-mould sealant goes in and is tooled neat.
- Each area is handed back when ready.
Preparing the site
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
