West Dulwich Bathroom Resealing
Bathroom resealing across West Dulwich and nearby, with every bit of old sealant taken out first and a 12-month guarantee.
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
Honest limits
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Wet rooms
Bathroom resealing in West Dulwich, done properly
A shower joint gets soaked every day. Tray edges, screen profiles and wet room joints all rely on silicone to stay watertight. Each gets a bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone, finished smooth so water drains away rather than collecting. We are often asked to deal with water getting behind the kitchen upstand and a reseal done over the top of the old bead, on baths, shower trays & enclosures and sinks & splashbacks.
London homes include a lot of flats, conversions and mansion blocks, and many bathrooms sit right above someone else’s ceiling. That makes worn sealant and cracked grout in West Dulwich more than a cosmetic job.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

How it works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can carry on as normal. The job normally takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. Many London jobs are in flats, so we come ready for stairs, narrow hallways and shared entrances. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when you book.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you’re told the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Clear the area around the work

Do you need bathroom resealing in West Dulwich?
Baths and trays move. Acrylic in particular gives slightly under the weight of water and a person, and a tray that is not fully bedded can rock. Over time the joint tears or pulls away from the tile.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
As a London address, West Dulwich can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

What bathroom resealing looks like in West Dulwich
London has a lot of flats and conversions, and a failed shower or bath seal in one can show up on the ceiling below, which is why it’s worth fixing early. West Dulwich has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Stephen, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. If you look after a building such as Dulwich Wood Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

- Which sealant suits the joint
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Access and height
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will quote.
Letting agents and landlords in West Dulwich can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
- Give the silicone its full cure time
Keep bottles and razors off the sealant line, as they hold water against it. Squeegeeing the walls and tray after use keeps water from sitting on the joint.
Don’t wait for a refit to deal with failed sealant. Sealant is a maintenance item, like the paint on a window frame, and renewing it as soon as it fails protects everything around it.
West Dulwich questions
Can parking be tricky for a visit in West Dulwich?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Sydenham Hill station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will explain our choice.
Is it messy?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?
Silicone is touch-dry quite quickly, but it takes longer to cure. Keep water off it for around 24 hours, or as long as we advise for that product.
How the job changes by surface
Basins & vanity units
The back of a basin gets wet every time someone washes. Old sealant there often goes black at the corners, and we treat it exactly as we would a bath.
Wet rooms
Not every wet room leak is a sealant problem. We reseal the joints and will tell you if the water seems to be coming from somewhere else.
