How we handle bathroom resealing in Henham
We fill the bath before sealing it. The weight settles the bath to its lowest point, so the new joint is not pulled apart the first time it’s used. Quick jobs often leave it out, and it makes a real difference. If you are dealing with leaking joints on a shower screen and gaps where the bath or tray has moved, we can help, on sinks & splashbacks, wet rooms and basins & vanity units alike.
For a small place like Henham, bathroom resealing is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

How it works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The visit itself generally takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom, depending on the size of the job. For a village or hamlet like Henham, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Henham homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Henham and Ugley Primary and Nursery School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary the Virgin, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Rented homes near Elsenham station change hands often, and fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.

Honest limits
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before we start. Sealant will not put right:
- A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacement)

Joints and surfaces we work on
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Sinks & splashbacks
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Don’t let bottles sit on the bead
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
Clean the silicone with care: warm soapy water and a soft cloth do the job. Scourers and blades can nick the surface, and a nicked bead lets mould in sooner.
Watch for the early signs: lifting ends, gaps, dark shadows under the bead or a stain downstairs. If you spot one, it’s time to reseal.
What the job involves on each surface
Sinks & splashbacks
Where a splashback meets the worktop, there’s a joint that catches every splash. It’s resealed in white, clear or a colour to suit.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Upstands and back edges are cut out, cleaned of grease and resealed, because cooking grease stops sealant bonding. The extra cleaning is what makes the bead last.
What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:

- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Working hours on commercial sites
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.
