How we handle remedial sealant in Ashurst
Not every leak is a sealant leak. A cracked tray, a failed shower valve or a leaking waste can look just the same. If that is what we find, we will tell you rather than reseal something that will not fix it. We work on mouldy bath & shower sealant, leaking tray & enclosure joints and botched or over-sealed joints, and people most often call us about over-sealed joints coming away and products that weren’t meant for the joint.
For a small place like Ashurst, remedial sealant is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Ashurst as everywhere else we work.

Questions from Ashurst
Will you come out to Ashurst?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
I let a flat near Ashurst Kent station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We will tell you how long to leave the joint.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
What does remedial sealant cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts.
Do you fix expansion and movement joints?
Yes. The depth is set with backing so the sealant only bonds to the two sides, which lets it stretch.
What if resealing won’t fix my leak?
We check for that before we reseal. If we find the leak is elsewhere, we tell you before going further.
Does remedial work come with a guarantee?
Yes, for 12 months. Where we’ve flagged another fault, it needs fixing for the joint to last.
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
- Never seal over old silicone
- Do not point over movement joints
- Look for stains below bathrooms now and then
Watch the joint over the first few weeks, especially if movement was the problem. If anything changes, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Leaks through failed sealant grow over time. Every shower or downpour sends more water through, into floors, walls or ceilings. Sorting it early limits the damage.
Remedial sealant in Ashurst: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
In the older streets around Church of St Martin of Tours, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
Ashurst is about 5 miles west of Royal Tunbridge Wells, in Kent. Anywhere in TN3, we cover remedial sealant for homes and businesses. Ashurst is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover for remedial sealant. For nearby work, see our Crawley page.

What we cannot put right
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Old mastic in a building from before 2000 that should be checked for asbestos before it’s disturbed
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Expansion joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Failed movement joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Botched or over-sealed joints
Different surfaces, different methods
Leaking trays & enclosures
Repeat shower leaks often come from a tray that flexes or an enclosure sealed in the wrong place. We check both before any new sealant goes on.
Windows & doors
Failed frame mastic is often hard, cracked and in several layers. All of it is cut out and the frame and wall cleaned.
Common problems we fix in Ashurst
How a joint is built matters as much as the product. Sealant packed too deep, or stuck to the back of the joint as well as the sides, cannot stretch, so it tears when the joint moves. Backing sets the depth and stops that.
Look out for these signs:
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Black mould underneath the bead
If you let a flat or house near Ashurst Kent station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

What happens on the day
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Somewhere as small as Ashurst, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We look at how the sealant has failed and check for movement or a leak path.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Advice
For landlords and businesses
If you manage several properties in or around Ashurst, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and photos by email help.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll give you a quote.
Why act early in Ashurst
A failed seal rarely means a new bathroom. If the bath, tray and tiles are sound, remedial resealing usually puts it right. If they’re not, we will tell you. Around Ashurst, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
