Bath resealing at your home in Henley
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. Whether it’s mould you can’t clean out and an untidy old seal, we can usually put it right, on basins & vanity units, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Questions from Henley
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Generally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
How long does a reseal take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
Are there extra charges for Henley?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Why reseal now?
Resealing costs very little. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Surfaces we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Keep the joints dry
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Air the room after use
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Landlord and trade work in Henley
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Suffolk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Signs you need bath resealing in Henley
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Black mould in the sealant
- Discoloured, yellow sealant

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a couple of hours. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
