Around smaller places such as Southend, washrooms and kitchens are found in hotels, pubs, schools, care homes and halls. Black sealant usually can’t be cleaned, so it is removed and replaced with anti-mould sanitary silicone.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

Keeping the joints sound
For the best life from the joints:
- Keep extract fans working and vents clear
- Note failing joints building by building
- Don’t leave an open joint at a basin or tray
- Don’t leave trays and floors sitting wet
If a joint we sealed fails within 12 months, tell us and we’ll look at it. Beyond that, regular checks keep small problems small.
Mouldy sealant only gets harder to ignore, and complaints follow. Dealing with it while it’s just the sealant keeps it simple.
General trades versus a specialist
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
What sealant work can’t fix
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we are upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Hollow tiles or loose panels behind the joint
- Panel boards already damaged by water
- Water from plumbing, not from a joint
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will tell you honestly.

Washroom sealing in Southend: the local picture
Southend lies within about 1 mile of the sea, and places by the sea often rely on visitors, so their hotels and holiday lets see heavy seasonal use. Heavy seasonal use is hard on shower and basin sealant, which is why off-season resealing makes sense. Being in the west of Scotland, Southend gets more rain than eastern areas. Washrooms with weak extraction stay damp in this climate, and mould finds the silicone first.
Hotels such as Keil Hotel (to the west of Southend) have en suite bathrooms where tired silicone at the bath, tray and basin is replaced room by room.
