Quotes for bathroom resealing in Dalston
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of sealant required
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Whether the work is at height
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The rough size of the job
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- What’s wrong with the joints now
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
About our bathroom resealing in Dalston
Sealant is the soft line between a bath, shower or worktop and the wall. Once it cracks or goes mouldy, water starts to find its way through. Every trace of the old sealant is taken out and replaced with anti-fungal sanitary silicone. We work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and sinks & splashbacks, and people most often call us about water getting behind the bath panel and mouldy sealant that has gone black.
Much of London’s older housing is Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many of them now split into flats, and bathrooms were often squeezed into small rooms. Small, steamy rooms are where mould gets into sealant and grout fastest, and homes in Dalston are no different.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Dalston and across Greater London.

Why it’s worth doing now in Dalston
Dealing with sealant early is a short job: it takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. Wait for a leak and you may be looking at panels off, drying out and redecorating too. Converted houses in London often have a bathroom above someone else’s living room, so a small leak from tired sealant can mean a neighbour’s ceiling and a lot of disruption. Dealing with it early is far simpler for homes in Dalston.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

What else we do in Dalston
What we’re called out for in Dalston
A bath shifts a little every time it’s filled and emptied. Acrylic in particular gives slightly under the weight of water and a person, while a poorly supported tray can shift underfoot. That movement works at the bead until it splits or peels away.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
Schools such as Holy Trinity Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
What to look for in a quote
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- How much experience the applicator has
For landlords and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Dalston
London has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in. Dalston has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
For an older house near a landmark such as Holy Trinity Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. If you let a flat or house near Dalston Junction station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.

What the job involves on each surface
Sinks & splashbacks
Next to the sink, the sealant has to cope with constant water, including a food-safe sealant where that’s needed. The joint is laid neatly so it’s easy to wipe.
Wet rooms
In a wet room, the joints between floor and walls take standing water. They’re resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, working on the surface joints, not the tanking or drainage.
Your questions about bathroom resealing in Dalston
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Dalston Junction station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you work in hotels near Dalston?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
How much does bathroom resealing cost in Dalston?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No, never. Sealing over the top looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts. Every trace of the old bead is removed first.
Do you cover Dalston?
Yes. We cover Dalston. To book, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Is white the only colour available?
You are not limited to white: white, clear and colours to suit tiles and worktops. We can help you pick when we quote.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected.
How the visit works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. In Dalston, flats, stairs and shared entrances are part of the routine. If the building has a concierge, managing agent or access rules, tell us when you book.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
