How bathroom resealing works in SW12
Homes in SW12 have the same weak spots as anywhere else: bath edges, tray joints, basin backs and kitchen upstands. Each one is stripped, cleaned and dried before new silicone goes in. We work on baths, sinks & splashbacks and kitchen worktops & upstands, and common reasons people get in touch are damp behind the bath or under the tray and leaking joints on a shower screen.
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a couple of hours for a single bath or shower.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear 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 are told the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
What affects the price in SW12
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Where we work in SW12
Our bathroom resealing work across SW12 covers homes, rentals and businesses, in Streatham, Balham and Streatham Hill and well beyond. Wherever the job is, all the old material comes out before anything new goes in.
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outdoor sealant still needs a dry day and clean surfaces, so outside work in SW12 is planned around the forecast.
Balham: Letting a property close to Balham station? Then fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay. As a London address, Balham can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.
What affects the quote in SW12
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The number of rooms or windows
- Any mould that needs treating
- How easy the joints are to reach
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
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.
Worktop joints fail quietly. Splashes run behind the back edge and soak into the worktop, where it can make the board swell. A reseal in time can save the worktop.
For landlords and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
What happens if it’s left?
Fresh sealant smartens a bathroom or kitchen with very little disruption, which matters if you’re letting a property or selling it. A smeared, uneven DIY bead does the opposite.

How much does bathroom resealing cost in SW12?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a short description of the job.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
How long will the resealing take?
A single bath or shower takes about a couple of hours, including cutting out the old sealant. A full bathroom and kitchen can take most of a day.
