Washroom sealing across Tickham
Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Different surfaces, different methods
Urinals and WC pans
The joint between a pan and the floor is easy to overlook. We include them in the survey.
Wet-room floors and floor-to-wall joints
Floor edges in wet areas are where water most often escapes. We reseal the floor-to-wall junctions and around drains where sealant is used.
About our washroom sealing in Tickham
Washroom joints need the right sealant, not whatever is to hand. Sanitary grades carry anti-mould additives, and neutral-cure types are used where acetoxy silicone could attack some metals, stone or mirror backings. In food areas, hygienic or food-safe sealants are used where food contact is possible. Site teams most often ask us about open joints along basins and vanity units and panel joints letting water behind, across IPS panels and cubicles, kitchens and tea points and showers, trays and wet room floors. Whoever orders the work in Tickham, the brief is usually the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Smaller places such as Tickham still have commercial washrooms and kitchens: in halls, pubs, schools, care homes and farm-based businesses. Sealant that has gone black with mould usually can’t be cleaned, so it is cut out and replaced.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Common questions from Tickham clients
Do we have to close all our washrooms in Tickham for resealing?
Rarely all at once: work is phased so some facilities are always available. Sanitary silicone needs time to cure before the area is used, and we will tell you how long for the product used.
Is a smaller place like Tickham outside your area?
Not at all. Tickham is within our area. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Is it possible to just clean mouldy silicone?
Surface cleaning won’t reach mould that has rooted into the bead. We replace the sealant with an anti-mould sanitary grade and check the ventilation isn’t the cause.
Do you take on small jobs?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Can you quote from photographs?
It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photos, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
In many cases, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Cost factors for washrooms and wet areas
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- How much existing material needs removing
- Location, for remote and island sites
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a quote once you have the details.
Before you send an enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.

What’s near Tickham

When to bring in a specialist
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.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Why it’s worth doing now in Tickham
Cleaning mouldy sealant only masks it, but the mould is rooted in the silicone and comes back. Replacement deals with the cause in the joint and your cleaning team stops chasing it. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Tickham. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

Related advice
Signs you need washroom sealing in Tickham
Sometimes the sealant fails because something behind it is moving or wet: loose fixings, a dripping trap or damp in the wall. We look for it before resealing and say if it needs a plumber or another trade.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Open joints along basins and vanity units
- Complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms
- Failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen
- Sealant lifting along a tray edge
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.
