Landlord and trade work in Varfell
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cornwall and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Bath resealing at your home in Varfell
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. If you’re dealing with silicone coming away from the tiles and leaks at the edges, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Varfell and across Cornwall.

FAQs for Varfell
Do you cover the entire of Cornwall?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Hidden water damage
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Open a window after bathing
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a couple of hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- 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, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Ensure the area is dry

What affects the price in Varfell
You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
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’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
