Bath resealing in East Dulwich without the cost of replacing. Get a fixed price from your pictures, then we come to you.
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Open a window after bathing
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Give the seal a regular clean
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Bath resealing in East Dulwich without replacing anything
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they keep water out. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people contact us are an untidy old seal and water getting behind the bath or tray.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What we are called out for in East Dulwich
Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Leaks at the edges
- Unsealed corners
- A messy previous reseal
What your quote should include
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Who turns up on the day
- How soon you can use it again
- How the colour is matched
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

East Dulwich: your questions answered
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- A flexing bath
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
