How we handle bath resealing in Garth Row
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Common call-outs are for unsealed corners and a messy previous reseal, on baths, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Garth Row questions
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Normally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Do you come to Garth Row?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Garth Row and the rest of Cumbria. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
How long will it take?
Usually a couple of hours, plus curing time.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Keep the joints dry
- Let steam out after showers
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, generally around 24 hours.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for about two hours for a bath. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Ensure the area is dry

Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Garth Row
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Why book with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- No need to remove anything
- One visit for most repairs
- Same prices wherever you are
