Bath resealing near Henley

Bath resealing in Henley, done in place

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We work on baths, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are black spots in the silicone and unsealed corners.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Same prices wherever you are

How we price bath resealing

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Signs you need bath resealing in Henley

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • When it can be used again
  • How your room will be protected

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Henley questions

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

How long does resealing take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow about two hours for a bath. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Repairs by material

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A flexing bath

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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