What affects the price in Jack's Hatch
Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Jack's Hatch. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice
Why reseal now?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- A fixed quote before you book
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Work done at your home or business

Landlord and trade work in Jack's Hatch
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Jack's Hatch: your questions answered
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Typically because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Let steam out after showers
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
