About our bath resealing in Garn-Las

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Our technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and baths, and people most frequently call us about discoloured, yellow sealant and a messy previous reseal.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Common questions in Garn-Las

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you come to Garn-Las?

We do. Technicians travel to Garn-Las from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Generally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

The process

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a couple of hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

When we would advise against a repair

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Hidden water damage
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Wet rooms
  • Baths
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks

What affects the price in Garn-Las

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Any details about the material

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
