Most bathrooms we fit in Indiranagar are in older buildings. So this is usually a new one to replace an old one, not the first fitting. That changes two things. Which style suits your walls. And how we get the glass to your floor. We settle both at the measuring visit, before we make anything.
Why a slim frame often suits these bathrooms
After twenty years a building moves. The walls lean a little. The opening is usually a few millimetres wider at one end than the other.
Frameless glass has almost no room to take that up. So a gap shows down the edge. And the door may need packing to close well.
A slim aluminium frame has that room built into the channel, and it hides a lot. If your bathroom has just been fully re-tiled, frameless looks better again and is easier to clean. We check with a level at the measuring visit. We do not decide before that.
Getting a panel up an old staircase
There is rarely a lift. And the staircases in these buildings turn sharply at each half landing.
So the staircase sets the biggest panel we can carry, not the bathroom. We measure it on the same visit.
When one panel is too big for the turn, we make the enclosure as two panels with a slim joint. This is completely normal and hard to see once fitted. Toughened glass cannot be cut down on site, so we work this out before we make anything.
What actually stops a leak
A leak does not necessarily mean the glass needs replacing. We check the door seals, silicone joints and floor drainage first. A hardened seal or failed joint may be repairable on its own.
So we fit a good seal along the closing edge, plastic seals along the bottom and sides, and bathroom silicone around the joins.
Then we ask you not to use the shower for about a day while it sets. Using it the same evening is the most common reason a brand new enclosure seems to leak in its first week.
How the job works
- Tell us about the jobSend a few photos, rough sizes and what you need. Use WhatsApp or the form. For a repair, a short video of the door moving helps a lot.
- We call you back in about 2 minutesWe confirm what you need and a time to visit. Where we can, we give you a rough price on the call.
- We come and measureWe measure the opening and check the walls, floor and ceiling around it. Anything made to size is made to these measurements, so they must be right.
- You get a written priceIt lists each item, with GST as its own line. If anything about the job changes, we tell you before we go ahead.
- We fit itYou approve the price and pay the advance. Our own team fits the work, checks that every door and window opens and closes properly, and clears up. Most jobs are done in 3 to 4 days.
