Commercial & hotel sealant in Chatham, Medway
Problem with your washrooms, bathrooms and kitchens in Chatham? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly.
- Whole floors of tired en suites
- Rental bathrooms that need resealing between tenants
- Washroom sealant that looks dirty however often it’s cleaned
Why act early in Chatham
Guests and staff judge a building by its bathrooms. Black sealant makes a clean room look dirty, and cleaning rarely puts it right. New sealant does. In a large rental market like Chatham, tired sealant leads to tenant complaints about mould, damp and leaks. Sorting it between tenancies is easier than dealing with it mid-let.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
Why us?
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
- Old sealant always removed completely
- You choose the colour before work begins

How we handle commercial sealant in Chatham
Guest bathrooms are cleaned every day and used by different people every night, so sealant there has a hard life. We work through rooms in batches, keeping most rooms available, with a cure time for each room so housekeeping know when to release it. Common call-outs are for washrooms that need sorting before an inspection and large numbers of bathrooms needing the same work, on hotel bathrooms, rental portfolios and office washrooms & kitchens.
For landlords in a large town like Chatham, sealant work comes in two kinds: resealing bathrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated sealant where pipes pass through walls. A single flat or a whole portfolio can be quoted.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
What we do, step by step
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating. The job usually takes a morning for a small washroom, and a planned programme for bigger sites, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Jobs in a place the size of Chatham range from town-centre flats to offices and family homes. Whichever it is, tell us how to get in, where to park and where the work is.
- We agree a programme with you: which rooms, in what order, at what times.
- Tell us what paperwork your site needs, and we confirm what we can supply before work begins.
- In each room, the old bead comes out and the joint is cleaned and treated.
- We reseal with the right product for each joint.
- Rooms are handed back in order, each with its cure time.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any tricky access
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Give housekeeping the cure time for every room
- Use mild cleaners on sealant, not bleach or abrasives
- Check the joints during routine room inspections
- Put a squeegee in each shower
Include sealant in routine room inspections. A quick look at each bathroom when rooms are checked spots problems early.
Rooms out of use cost a hotel or landlord money. Catching faults early means they can be put right in a short window, instead of turning into a leak that closes the room.
What affects the cost of commercial sealant
You will get a clear quote before any work starts. It takes into account:
- How much there is to do
- The product the joint needs
- Any mould that needs treating
- Working hours on commercial sites
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- How we’d reach the joints
- Roughly how big the job is
- Where the property is
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is.
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Tiles coming off the wall
- Leaking pipework, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Poor ventilation that keeps bringing mould back
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
