Doing it in-house
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Washroom sealing in Tankerton
Facilities managers, contractors and building owners have used us for washroom sealing for over 20 years. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with CSCS-carded applicators. We are fully insured. Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. The enquiries we see most involve complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms and discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans, on vanity units and basins, IPS panels and cubicles and urinals and WCs. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Tankerton tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Pub and restaurant kitchens around smaller places like Tankerton work hard on their joints. Smooth, sealed joints at worktops, sinks and wall cladding make cleaning easier.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Surface by surface
Wet-room floors and floor-to-wall joints
Floor edges in wet areas are where water most often escapes. Floor perimeters and sealant joints near drains are resealed.
IPS and cubicle panels
Swollen or delaminated boards need replacing, and any we come across will be pointed out.
Quoting for work in Tankerton
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Phasing around occupants
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- The total length or number of joints
- The product specified
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
Before you send an enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- Access details, including height
- Any specification or named product
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Where the site is, with the postcode

Common problems we fix in Tankerton
A lot of failed washroom sealant was laid over an old bead or a dirty surface. New silicone won’t grip the old, so it soon lets go.
Clients usually get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Panel joints letting water behind
- Sealant stained black around basins and showers
- Shower tray joints that have opened up
- Gaps where vanity tops meet the wall
Hotels such as The Marine Hotel (less than half a mile west of Tankerton) have en suite bathrooms where tired silicone at the bath, tray and basin is replaced room by room.
Questions to ask before you book
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Proof of insurance
When something else is needed
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- A room that stays damp because ventilation isn’t working
- Swollen or delaminated boards behind panels or vanity tops
- Failed tanking beneath a wet-room floor or behind tiles
If you’re not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Keeping Tankerton washrooms open while we work
Tankerton is within about 1 mile of the coast, 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, which is why off-season resealing makes sense. Two care or nursing homes sit less than 2 miles from Tankerton. Care home wet rooms and en suites are used every day and cleaned hard, which tells on the silicone. We plan the work with the manager so residents are disturbed as little as possible.
Healthcare washrooms on sites such as Whitstable and Tankerton Hospital, less than half a mile to the south-east of Tankerton, are resealed area by area, under the site’s own infection-control rules. For centre management at a site such as Prospect Retail Park (2 miles south-west of Tankerton), washroom work is planned around footfall.
Tankerton is about 1 mile north-east of Whitstable, in Kent. Any commercial site in Tankerton is covered. Tankerton is one of 931 places in Kent on our list for washrooms and wet areas. For work in that direction, see our London page (50 miles or so).

Common questions from Tankerton clients
Is Tankerton too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Is a hospital such as Whitstable and Tankerton Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
What will the job cost?
We don’t publish prices, because every site is different. With photographs or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, and you deal with one contact throughout.
Do you use special sealant for toilets and showers?
Each area gets the grade that suits it. Washrooms and showers take anti-mould sanitary silicone, and food areas take a hygienic, food-safe sealant where food contact is possible.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Diagnose, treat, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. For a job in Tankerton, the main thing is a clear picture of the work, so send photographs of each area. You’ll then get a fixed price for the work.
- We start by inspecting the fittings and joints and flagging problems sealant can’t solve.
- We agree which rooms close and when, so users always have somewhere to go.
- We strip out the old bead and clean off the residue left behind.
- Each joint is degreased and left dry, because silicone won’t bond to damp or soapy surfaces.
- New sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives goes in and is tooled neat.
- You get a reopening time for every room, with signage left up until then.
Preparing the site
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Point out any areas we must not close
