What remedial sealant looks like in Ashford
Ashford has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room. Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Managing a site like Chilmington Green Primary School? Then washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes. In the older streets around Christ Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Quotes for remedial sealant in Ashford
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- How much there is to do
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Which sealant suits the joint
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What to tell us for a quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Simply ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and describe the job.
DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

Surface by surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould can sit behind the silicone, not just in it. Once it’s all removed, the joint is treated so the new sealant starts clean.
Over-sealed & botched joints
A thick bead smeared across tiles often hides mould or gaps. Taking it back shows what’s underneath, then reseal neatly.
Leave it or put it right?
Mould under a bead cannot be reached by cleaning. Removal is the only way to get at it. In a busy place like Ashford, a failed joint in a flat or office can send water into the space below, where it’s often found late and is bigger to put right.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

Can you do remedial sealant in Ashford?
Yes, Ashford is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
My shower still leaks after a reseal. Can you sort it?
Yes. We check it’s the sealant and not the tray, valve or waste, then strip and reseal the joints.

Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
What we do, step by step
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out and we leave things clean and tidy. Commercial jobs in Ashford can be planned out of hours where a building cannot close, while home visits are arranged within our normal working hours, Monday to Saturday.

Related advice
When to call us in Ashford
Silicone only bonds to surfaces that are clean and dry. Residue, moisture or dust left in the joint weaken the bond, so it starts lifting sooner than it should.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Black mould underneath the bead
If you let a flat or house near Ashford International station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.
