Ashey Remedial Sealant
Problem with your failed sealant joints in Ashey? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Torn expansion joints
- A second bead peeling off the first
What the job involves on each surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
A shower that leaks after resealing often has a tray that moves or an enclosure sealed on the wrong side. Both are checked before we reseal.
Worktops & kitchens
If a worktop moves when you lean on it, the sealant will keep splitting. That needs refixing before resealing, and we will tell you if we find it.
About our remedial sealant in Ashey
If a joint fails again and again, something is causing it. Movement, the wrong product or a leak from somewhere else will defeat even a perfect bead. Finding that cause comes before any new sealant. If you have gaps opening along the back of the worktop and decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower, we can help, whatever the surface.
Around Ashey, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

The process
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The visit itself generally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out, depending on how much there is to do. Somewhere as small as Ashey, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.

Common problems we fix in Ashey
Joint depth matters. Sealant packed too deep, or stuck to the back of the joint as well as the sides, can’t stretch, so it tears when the joint moves. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
If you look after a building such as Ryde Academy, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
Questions to ask before booking
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- What product goes in the joint
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Which colour the sealant will be
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.

FAQs for Ashey
Will you come out to Ashey?
Yes. Ashey is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Smallbrook Junction station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can you fix a reseal that hasn’t worked?
Yes. All the sealant comes out, we find out why it failed, and the joint is resealed properly.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
What does remedial sealant cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Can you remove old sealant without damaging the bath?
Yes. We avoid heavy scraping and use the right cleaner for each surface.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Should I try it myself first?
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.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

What affects the cost of remedial sealant
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Working hours on commercial sites
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- If someone has resealed it before
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The rough size of the job
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that’s easier. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll explain what’s involved before giving you a price.
Ashey homes and their sealant
Ashey is within about 3 miles of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. 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.
Rented homes near Smallbrook Junction station change hands often, and failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.
