Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.
Cost factors for washrooms and wet areas
Before we quote, we look at:
- How much existing material needs removing
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Phasing around occupants
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.
Before you send an enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Access details, including height
For a fixed quote, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with the site address and an outline of the work. Our quote form is another easy route.
Washroom sealing in Upshire
Washroom joints need the right sealant, not whatever is to hand. Sanitary silicone contains additives that resist mould, 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. We work on accessible toilets and changing rooms, vanity units and basins and kitchens and tea points, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen and sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Upshire first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Farm shops, cafés and venues in converted rural buildings around places like Upshire have busy toilets and kitchens. We plan the work around bookings and opening times.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Common questions from Upshire clients
Do we have to close all our washrooms in Upshire for resealing?
Not all at once. We take one block of facilities at a time. Sanitary silicone needs time to cure before the area is used, and we will tell you how long for the product used.
Is Upshire too far out for you?
Not at all. Upshire is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. 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.
Is colour matching possible?
That depends on the product specified. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Can you clean the mould off instead of resealing?
Surface cleaning won’t reach mould that has rooted into the bead. We replace the sealant with an anti-mould sanitary grade and point out if ventilation is part of the problem.
When can showers be used after new sealant?
Cure times vary by product and temperature. You’ll get a reopening time for each area, and signs stay up until then.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we’re in, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Smaller jobs around Upshire can be grouped with others nearby. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- Every washroom is checked joint by joint, with loose panels, leaks or damp noted for the right trade.
- The phasing is agreed so there are always facilities open.
- The failed silicone is stripped and every face scraped clean of residue.
- Each joint is degreased and left dry, because silicone won’t bond to damp or soapy surfaces.
- We lay a sanitary silicone bead and tool it smooth so it is easy to clean.
- Each room is handed back once the sealant has had its cure time.
What we need from you
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
Request a quote
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.

After the work
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Respect the cure time before reopening each room
- Inspect washroom sealant regularly
- Report split joints at trays and basins early
- Avoid scourers and harsh descalers on silicone
Ventilation is half the battle. A room that stays damp will grow mould on almost anything so report fans that aren’t working to your building services team.
A split joint at a shower tray can leak for a long time before anyone sees it. By then, other trades may be needed as well, so reseal when you first spot a split.
When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- A room that stays damp because ventilation isn’t working
- Leaking pipes, traps, wastes or cisterns, which need a plumber
- Panel boards already damaged by water
If you’re not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Showers, trays and wet room floors
- Accessible toilets and changing rooms
- Kitchens and tea points
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Urinals and WCs
- Vanity units and basins
Leave it or put it right?
Running fresh silicone along a failed bead hides the problem briefly. It doesn’t bond, so it peels and traps dirt behind it. Full removal and proper cleaning is what makes the new joint last. Converted and older buildings near places like Upshire tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
A quote for washrooms and wet areas depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, plus any specification you’re working to. Call for a quote.
