About our commercial sealant in Grays
For a rental portfolio, resealing between tenants keeps bathrooms and kitchens presentable. Several addresses can be quoted together. We’re often asked to deal with split sealant around staff kitchen worktops and sinks and black, stained silicone in guest bathrooms, across hotel bathrooms, office washrooms & kitchens and rental portfolios.
Shared washrooms take far more use than a home bathroom, and their sealant shows it, while fire-rated sealant has to be made good whenever new pipes or cables go through. In Grays, timings are planned around the building.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Extraction that isn’t working, which needs an electrician or ventilation contractor
- Faulty shower valves and leaking traps
- A shower tray, bath or basin that’s cracked or broken
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly.

Your questions about commercial sealant in Grays
What guarantee comes with commercial sealant in Grays?
All our work, in Grays and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
I let a flat near Grays station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Grays, along with the rest of our area.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Can the hotel stay open while you work?
Yes. We work through rooms in batches, so only a few are out of use at once. Each room comes back with its cure time for housekeeping.
How long does the job take?
A typical job takes as long as the scope needs, from one welfare room to a full building. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
What we’re called out for in Grays
Commercial bathrooms get far more use than domestic ones, and they’re cleaned with strong products every day. That’s why sealant fails sooner.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Leaking joints in shower rooms and changing areas
- Tired sealant in let properties
- Washroom sealant that looks dirty however often it’s cleaned
- Failed joints in office kitchens and tea points
Community buildings like St John the Evangelist are part of the picture too: halls and community kitchens see heavy use, and their sealant shows it.
What your quote should include
- What product goes in the joint
- How long the guarantee is
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Is VAT in the price?
Commercial sealant in Grays: local notes
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Grays, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Schools such as Quarry Hill Academy are buildings too, and busy washrooms and kitchens can be resealed in phases so they stay open. For landlords with property near Grays station, sealant work can be quoted for a single flat or a whole portfolio.

Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.

The process
On the day, we look over the joints with you first. We protect the surfaces around the joints before we start. The work normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of rooms. A visit in Grays needs access to the work and a place to park close by. If the job is outside, mention gates, side access and anything above ground floor.
- First we visit and agree the scope, the sequence and the working hours.
- Room by room, we protect the area and remove all the old sealant.
- We clean the joints, treat any mould and let them dry.
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes into wet areas, with suitable sealants elsewhere.
- Rooms are checked and returned with a cure time so staff know when to use them.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any tricky access
Getting a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know what needs doing and where and its rough size. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand.

What affects the cost of commercial sealant
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of sealant required
- The number and length of the joints
- How easy the joints are to reach
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- The rough size of the job
- The type of property
- Where the property is
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. When it suits you, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Grays
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Why act early in Grays
Sealant is easy to forget until an audit or inspection is due. Booking it in good time leaves room for the cure time before the visit, without a last-minute rush. Draughts from a gap round a frame, damp under a sill or water behind a bath panel all start small, and early is when they’re cheapest and quickest to sort.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.
