Washroom sealing for commercial buildings in Upton
Our washroom work covers offices, hotels, schools and colleges, leisure centres and gyms, clinics and care homes, plus the kitchens and tea points that go with them. The products and the method are chosen for how heavily each space is used. We work on showers, trays and wet room floors, accessible toilets and changing rooms and vanity units and basins, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are sealant laid over old silicone and now peeling and failed sealant in a tea point or staff kitchen. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Upton tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Smaller places such as Upton still have commercial washrooms and kitchens: in halls, pubs, schools, care homes and farm-based businesses. Mould gets into sealant in any washroom that doesn’t dry out, and once it’s in, the sealant is replaced.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

How a job runs
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself normally takes half a day to a day per washroom, depending on the number of fittings, and we clear our waste as we work. Rural sites near Upton may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- 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.
- Joints are cleaned, degreased and dried before sealing.
- New sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives goes in and is tooled neat.
- Rooms reopen after the product’s cure time, and we move to the next.
What we need from you
- 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

Sanitary sealant for Upton buildings
With the shore within about 3 miles, Upton counts as a coastal location, and seaside hospitality usually has a peak season that works washrooms hard. Washrooms used guest after guest wear their sanitary silicone faster, so resealing in the quieter months keeps rooms ready. There are a number of hotels within about 2 miles of Upton. En suite bathrooms, staff changing rooms and kitchens all need their sanitary silicone renewed in time.
At a university such as University of Southampton, 3.4 miles to the south-east of Upton, summer is the usual window for resealing residence bathrooms. Where you are responsible for a hall attached to a building such as Church of St John, its kitchen and toilets need sealant that stays cleanable.

When to call us in Upton
Low-level joints get hit by mop buckets, cleaning trolleys and feet, especially at floor edges and around urinals and WC pans.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Washrooms that look worn because of the sealant
- Discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans
- Failed sealant behind washroom basins
- Panel joints letting water behind
On an industrial estate such as Nursling Industrial Estate, 0.8 miles to the south-west of Upton, staff toilets, showers and canteens are where sanitary sealant takes the most wear.
What to look for in a quote
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
Surface by surface
IPS and cubicle panels
Swollen or delaminated boards need replacing, and any we come across will be pointed out.
Showers and trays
A tray flexes every time it’s used and is constantly wet. Tray joints are where many washroom leaks start.
Why deal with it now?
Washrooms shape how visitors judge a building. Visitors notice black sealant before they notice much else. Fresh sanitary silicone lifts a room with very little disruption. Halls, stores and units around places like Upton may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
What you get with us
- Public liability insurance in place
- A range of standard colours, depending on the product
- 12-month guarantee on workmanship
- A Constructionline member, so easy to vet
What affects the price in Upton
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
A quote for washrooms and wet areas depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.
Sending details for a quote
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Your programme or deadline
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
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.
Maintenance after handover
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Avoid scourers and harsh descalers on silicone
- Make sure washroom ventilation is running
- Respect the cure time before reopening each room
- Photograph and log failed joints across the estate
If a joint we sealed fails within 12 months, tell us and we’ll look at it. After that, a routine look catches failing joints early.
Small numbers of failed joints are quick to phase in. Left, it tends to become a building-wide job and more closures to manage.
Questions about Upton
Is Upton too far out for you?
Not at all. Upton 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 will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Princess Anne Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Is old silicone taken out first?
The whole of the old bead is removed and the surfaces cleaned first. That’s what makes the new joint last.
Will you come and look before quoting?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Simple work can often be priced from photos, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
What sealant do you use in washrooms?
An anti-mould sanitary silicone in the majority of cases. Neutral-cure grades are used where acetoxy types could mark metals, stone or mirror backings.
What will the job cost?
Each job is quoted on its own details. For yours, call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with a description of the work.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
