About our bathroom resealing in Ashwell End
We fill the bath before sealing it. The weight settles the bath to its lowest point, so the bead is not stretched the first time someone gets in. It’s a small step that rushed reseals tend to skip. Typical jobs include water getting behind the bath panel and a reseal done over the top of the old bead, across wet rooms, sinks & splashbacks and basins & vanity units.
Somewhere as small as Ashwell End, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it normally takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. In a small place like Ashwell End, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention any tricky access

FAQs for Ashwell End
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Ashwell & Morden station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Can you do bathroom resealing in Ashwell End?
Yes, Ashwell End is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Where do you work from?
We are a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No, and it’s one of the main reasons reseals fail. The old joint is stripped, cleaned and resealed from scratch.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured.
What colours of sealant can you use?
White, clear and a range of colours are available. Where the joint is on show, we match it to the surface.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
What the job involves on each surface
Shower trays & enclosures
If a tray moves underfoot, new silicone will not last. Movement is checked before anything is resealed, and tell you if it needs re-bedding first.
Baths
Baths move more than any other fitting, so it’s filled with water before the bead goes on. That way the joint is laid with the bath at its heaviest and isn’t stretched when it’s used.
Other services in Ashwell End
Bathroom resealing around Ashwell End
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Homes close to St Mary's Church include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. If you look after a building such as Ashwell Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

What we’re called out for in Ashwell End
Silicone needs a clean, dry surface without any grease to stick to. Soap residue, oils and leftover silicone film all get in the way, and a joint that looked fine soon begins to come away.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
For landlords with property near Ashwell & Morden station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
Good ventilation does more than any cleaner. Use the fan, or open a window, while you bathe and for a while afterwards, so the silicone gets a chance to dry.
A few black dots in the silicone soon become a black line. When it has grown right through, it rarely cleans out, and nearby grout often goes the same way. Replacing the sealant early keeps the job small.
