Landlord and trade work in Garth

Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

About our bath resealing in Garth

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Common call-outs are for gaps by the taps and silicone coming away from the tiles, across kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Resealing in Garth: why it matters

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • No extra charge for your area
  • One visit for most repairs

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a couple of hours, including clearing up.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice

FAQs for Garth

How long does silicone take to cure?

You will get the curing time from us.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Gwynedd, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Do you come to Garth?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Garth for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What affects the price in Garth

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Store bottles on a shelf

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

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Do you need bath resealing in Garth?

Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Black mould in the sealant

Before you book anyone

  • Who turns up on the day
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Choosing a repair company

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

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

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
