Bath resealing for Jump homes

Bath resealing in Jump without replacing anything

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Typical jobs include mould you can’t clean out and gaps by the taps, in shower trays & enclosures, baths and wet rooms.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Jump as everywhere else we work.

Jump questions

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

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you quote from photos?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Prices and what affects them

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

When to call us in Jump

Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

Questions to ask before you book

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

10 questions to ask before you book

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a couple of hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
