Prices and what affects them
Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A picture taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
How we handle bath resealing in Henlow
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. If you’re dealing with old sealant that looks dirty and mould you can’t clean out, we can usually put it right.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Hidden water damage
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths

Why reseal now?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Let steam out after showers
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
