Questions about Wix
What documents will you need to give us for a job in Wix?
We will confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details, with the quote. We hold £5m public liability insurance, are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded.
Is Wix off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do you guarantee washroom sealing?
Every job carries our 12-month guarantee. It covers our workmanship rather than damage, leaks from plumbing or ventilation problems.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work usually 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.
Can you quote from photos?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Simple work can often be priced from photos, and bigger or more complex jobs usually get a visit.
Will all the toilets be closed at once?
Just the room being resealed is out of use. Each room reopens after the sealant’s cure time, then we move on.
Commercial clients in Wix
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchens and tea points
In commercial kitchens, smooth, cleanable joints help keep the kitchen hygienic. Food-safe sealants are used where food may touch the joint.
Wet-room floors and floor-to-wall joints
Wet floors are common in accessible showers and changing rooms, so their perimeter joints get close attention.
When to bring in a specialist
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Washroom sealing around Wix: what changes locally
Wix sits close to the coast, within about 3 miles, and places by the sea often rely on visitors, so their hotels and holiday lets see heavy seasonal use. Bathrooms turned round daily in the busy months need sound, cleanable joints, and the quieter months are the natural time to reseal. Wix lies roughly 60 miles out from central London, within the office belt around the capital. Office toilets in the commuter belt are in use from first arrivals to last departures, so we phase work to keep some facilities open.
For buildings on a site such as Oak Business Park, which lies south-east of Wix, washrooms and tea points can be resealed in phases through the working week. For a hall at a building such as Church of St Mary, resealing the kitchen and toilets can be fitted between bookings. At a school such as Wix and Wrabness Primary School, changing rooms and kitchens need cleanable joints as much as the toilets.

When it isn’t the sealant
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Panel boards already damaged by water
- Leaks through tanking or membranes below the finishes
- Loose panels, vanity units or tiles, which need fixing first
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- IPS panels and cubicles
- Kitchens and tea points
- Urinals and WCs

How the quote is worked out
These are the things that shape the price:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Working within restricted access windows
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote when you are ready.
