Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes about two hours for a bath for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access

Common questions in Henley-on-Thames

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Oxfordshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you work in Henley-on-Thames?

We do. We send a technician to Henley-on-Thames for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Normally because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What we are called out for in Henley-on-Thames

Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Damp near the bath
  • Mould you cannot clean out

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • The material

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Henley-on-Thames, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Wet rooms
  • Baths
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Basins & vanity units

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Air the room after use
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Use the extractor fan

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
