Washroom sealing for Tattenhoe sites
Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What the job involves on each surface
Wet-room floors and floor-to-wall joints
Sealant at a wet-room floor edge is not a substitute for the waterproofing underneath and point it out if water appears to rise from below.
Changing rooms and gyms
Showers, floor edges and vanity units in changing rooms all need sound sealant and we look at them as one job.
How we handle washroom sealing in Tattenhoe
Closing all the facilities in a building isn’t an option. We phase the work one washroom, one bank of cubicles or one changing room at a time, so staff, guests or pupils always have somewhere to go. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them. Site teams most often ask us about resealing that didn’t last because the old bead stayed and failed sealant behind washroom basins, on showers, trays and wet room floors, accessible toilets and changing rooms and kitchens and tea points. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Tattenhoe? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.

What sets the cost
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- The product specified
- How much there is to seal
- Removal of failed or old sealant
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: 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.
What we need to price the job
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Specification clauses that apply
- Your programme or deadline
- The site address and postcode
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we’ll fill any gaps with a visit.
Work for main contractors and building owners
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Tattenhoe can form part of a wider programme.

Common questions from Tattenhoe clients
Will our hotel in Tattenhoe need to close for the work?
Rarely, if ever. We take a few rooms out at a time. The plan is built around your bookings.
Do you work in occupied care homes around Tattenhoe?
Yes. We agree rooms and times with the manager and work a few areas at a time. Any site rules, from signing in to infection control, are agreed before we start.
Do you work in Tattenhoe?
Yes. We cover Tattenhoe. To discuss a job, call 01277 525 020 or email us.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work typically takes a few hours for one toilet block, with bigger buildings phased across a number of visits. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
Our process
Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them. While we’re working, the area stays contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area. Work in places the size of Tattenhoe is planned as a single visit where we can. Clear photos and measurements help us bring the right products.
- We inspect each washroom and record the joints to be resealed.
- 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.
Preparing the site
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
Getting a fixed quote
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
Related advice
Should maintenance staff do it?
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
Sanitary sealant for Tattenhoe buildings
The 2 miles around Tattenhoe include two care or nursing homes. In a care setting, a mouldy or lifting joint in a wet room is a hygiene issue as much as a cosmetic one. Rooms are done a few at a time at times agreed with the home. Tattenhoe lies roughly 45 miles out from central London. Office toilets in the commuter belt are in use from first arrivals to last departures, which is why the work is phased.
At a university such as University of Bedfordshire Milton Keynes Campus, which lies north-east of Tattenhoe, summer is the usual window for resealing residence bathrooms. Colleges such as Milton Keynes College (to the north-east of Tattenhoe) have toilets, changing rooms and catering kitchens that can be resealed around term dates. Staff changing rooms and patient toilets at places like Bletchley Community Hospital (to the east of Tattenhoe) need cleanable, sound silicone.

After the work
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Share your site rules when you send details
- Clear standing water from shower floors where possible
- Report faulty extraction promptly
- Respect the cure time before reopening each room
Where possible, have shower floors and trays squeegeed after busy periods. Joints that sit wet for hours fail sooner.
Water getting behind IPS panels and vanity units can swell the boards. Once that happens, a reseal won’t fix them.
