Common questions in Harcombe
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Harcombe?
We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Typically after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Are there extra charges for Harcombe?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Harcombe
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

How we price bath resealing
Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Make sure the area is dry
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
