What the job involves on each surface
Showers and trays
A tray that rocks or has cracked won’t be fixed by sealant, and we’ll say so before resealing.
Basins and vanity tops
Basin joints get wet every time someone washes their hands, so the joint to the wall and around each bowl fails early. We remove the old bead and lay a fresh one of sanitary silicone.
Washroom sealing in West Challow, done properly
In a busy washroom, the sealant usually gives up long before the tiles or fittings. Basin tops, urinal backs, panel joints and shower trays put it under water, chemicals and daily cleaning, and once mould grows into it, it can’t be scrubbed out. We strip it out and lay new anti-mould sanitary silicone. We work on showers, trays and wet room floors, IPS panels and cubicles and urinals and WCs, and what we are called in for most is stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops and complaints from staff, guests or users about tired washrooms. For commercial sealant work in West Challow, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Smaller places such as West Challow still have commercial washrooms and kitchens: in halls, pubs, schools, care homes and farm-based businesses. Sealant that has gone black with mould typically can’t be cleaned, so it is cut out and replaced.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll come back to it.

Our process
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself typically takes a few hours for one toilet block, with bigger buildings phased across a number of visits, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. If others near West Challow need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- We inspect each washroom and record the joints to be resealed.
- You get a fixed quote with the phasing plan.
- Old sealant is removed completely and the faces cleaned.
- Each joint is cleaned and left dry.
- New anti-mould sealant goes in and is tooled neat.
- Each area is handed back when ready.
What we need from you
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
Ask for a quote
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we will fill any gaps with a visit.

Keeping the joints sound
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Keep washrooms out of use until we say the sealant has cured
- Inspect washroom sealant regularly
- Avoid scourers and harsh descalers on silicone
- Don’t leave an open joint at a basin or tray
If a joint we sealed fails within 12 months, tell us and we will look at it. After that, a routine look catches failing joints early.
In food areas, cleanability is something environmental health officers look at. Failed sealant around sinks and worktops is easy to put right in good time.
What happens if it’s left?
When a washroom looks worn, a refit isn’t the only answer. Where tiles, panels and fittings are sound, new sealant may be enough to put it right for now. Halls, stores and units around places like West Challow may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
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 will put a fixed figure on it.

Questions we’re asked in West Challow
Do we have to close all our washrooms in West Challow 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’ll tell you how long for the product used.
Is West Challow too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Which silicone is right for commercial washrooms?
Sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives for most washroom joints. We use neutral-cure versions on stone, some metals and near mirrors.
Will you quote for a small job?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
What will the job cost?
That depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a quote.
How long will the new sealant last?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.

When something else is needed

- Vanity carcasses that have swollen
- Mould caused by poor ventilation, which will return until the extract is fixed
