Questions from Jacobstowe

Are there extra charges for Jacobstowe?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Jacobstowe?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Bath resealing at your home in Jacobstowe

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops using mould-resistant silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. Whether it’s mould you can’t clean out and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

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

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes around two hours. We leave the room clean.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What affects the price in Jacobstowe

We charge the same across the UK, including Jacobstowe. What changes the price is:

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Jacobstowe. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
