About our remedial sealant in Henham
Movement and expansion joints fail when the sealant can’t stretch. We cut out the failed sealant and set the depth with backing, then a flexible sealant matched to the movement goes in. Typical jobs include worktop sealant that has shrunk and split and a second bead peeling off the first, across leaking tray & enclosure joints, botched or over-sealed joints and expansion joints.
For a small place like Henham, remedial sealant is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we have gone.

What affects the cost of remedial sealant
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- The number and length of the joints
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- When we can work, for business premises
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
The cost depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Roughly how big the job is
- The type of property
- Where the job is, and your postcode
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add photos by email if you can.

What the job involves on each surface
Worktops & kitchens
Shrunken worktop sealant leaves a gap that lets water into the back edge. We strip it, degrease the joint and reseal.
Leaking trays & enclosures
A cracked tray, failed valve or leaking waste needs a different fix. We’ll tell you what we find.
Henham: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Elsenham station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is Henham within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
What if resealing won’t fix my leak?
We check for that before we reseal. If the fault is elsewhere, you’ll know before any work is done.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
Can you remove old sealant without damaging the bath?
Yes, with care. The old bead is cut and lifted with tools that suit the surface, and the residue is cleaned away. Any existing damage is pointed out before any work starts.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Henham
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For landlords with property near Elsenham station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants. In the older streets around Church of St Mary the Virgin, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Schools such as Henham and Ugley Primary and Nursery School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Deal with small splits early
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Ask why a joint failed before redoing it
Ventilation keeps mould away from the new bead: use the extractor or open a window after showering.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Get the cause found first, or the next bead will go the same way.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
When it is not the sealant
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
- Cracks in the fitting rather than the joint
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.

How the visit works
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. Somewhere as small as Henham, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The right product goes in, with backing where the joint moves.
- The joint is tooled and you’re told about anything else we found.
Getting ready for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
