Bathroom resealing in SE22: how it works
Across SE22, the joints we reseal are the ones that fail in any home: bath edges, tray joints, basin backs and kitchen upstands. Each one is stripped, cleaned and dried before new silicone goes in. We work on kitchen worktops & upstands, sinks & splashbacks and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about a joint torn by a bath that flexes and water getting behind the kitchen upstand.
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant, including the film left on the tiles.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
- We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
- Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.
What affects the price in SE22

Bathroom resealing across SE22: local notes
In SE22, bathroom resealing takes in flats, houses, rentals and businesses, in East Dulwich, Herne Hill and Camberwell and well beyond. The method is the same everywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh finish laid.
London and the South East have homes from every era, from period terraces to post-war new towns and new estates. The right sealant depends on the age and materials of the building, wherever it is in SE22.
Herne Hill: Herne Hill is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. For landlords with property near North Dulwich station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.
What happens if it’s left?
Fresh sealant smartens a bathroom or kitchen with very little disruption, which matters if you are letting a property or selling it. Lumpy sealant with smears on the tiles has the opposite effect, and it’s harder to put right later.
Questions to ask before booking
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- How much experience the applicator has
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What insurance they hold
When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- A tray or bath that’s cracked through
Signs you need bathroom resealing
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.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Do not let bottles sit on the bead
Give the silicone time to cure before it gets wet, following the cure time we give you. Once it’s cured, wiping it down after use keeps it looking new.
Each shower pushes a little more water through a failed joint. Left alone, it soaks into the floor, the wall behind the tiles or the ceiling below. Resealing early stops it.
Landlords, agents and businesses in SE22
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Your questions about bathroom resealing in SE22
How long before the new sealant can get wet?
After around 24 hours in most cases. We’ll tell you the cure time for the product we used.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we are fully insured.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, a 12-month guarantee. Good ventilation and gentle cleaning help it last.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
My sealant has gone black. Can you sort it?
Yes, by replacing the sealant. Sprays can fade the marks, but cutting it out and resealing is what lasts. Good ventilation helps keep it away.
Can I choose the colour of the sealant?
White, clear and a range of colours are available. Where the joint is on show, we match it to the surface.
What does bathroom resealing cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
