About our bathroom resealing in Ashford
A fresh bead of silicone changes how a bathroom looks more than most people expect. Mouldy silicone makes even a new bathroom look neglected, and a neat new joint puts that right in a short visit. It also seals the gaps that let water behind the bath. If you’re dealing with water getting behind the kitchen upstand and sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away, we can help, on sinks & splashbacks, kitchen worktops & upstands and shower trays & enclosures alike.
A place the size of Ashford has homes of every age, from period houses to modern flats and estates. Whatever the age of the home, sealant and grout in bathrooms and kitchens wear out in the end.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

What we do, step by step

- We cover the area around the joints we are working on.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.
Preparing for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Ashford homes and their sealant
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Ashford. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Chilmington Green Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. If you live in an older home near Christ Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
Give the silicone time to cure before it gets wet, which is usually around 24 hours. Once it’s cured, wiping it down after use keeps it looking new.
Each shower pushes a little more water through a failed joint. Left alone, it soaks into the floor, the wall behind the tiles or the ceiling below. Early resealing closes the gap before damage is done.
When to call us in Ashford
Sealant laid on a damp, dusty or greasy joint never bonds properly. Traces of soap, bath oil and old sealant stop it gripping, and a joint that looked fine soon begins to come away.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
Letting a property close to Ashford International station? Then a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Who turns up on the day
- How long to leave it before use
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
Different surfaces, different methods
Wet rooms
In a wet room, the joints between floor and walls take standing water. They’re resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, and our work is on the visible joints only.
Sinks & splashbacks
Splashbacks in glass, tile or acrylic meet the worktop in a long joint. We renew it in clear, white or a matched colour.
