What we are called out for in Gorslas

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Mould you cannot clean out

Questions to ask before you book

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How the colour is matched
  • What preparation is included
  • How your room will be protected

Choosing a repair company

About our bath resealing in Gorslas

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. If you are dealing with old sealant that looks dirty and unsealed corners, we can help.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Air the room after use
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

FAQs for Gorslas

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

How long does resealing take?

Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

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

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

What affects the price in Gorslas

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

If you are in Gorslas and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Movement in the bath or tray

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Carmarthenshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
