How we handle bath resealing in Tŷ-canol
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. If you’re dealing with an untidy old seal and damp near the bath, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What happens on the day
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a couple of hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- 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.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

FAQs for Tŷ-canol
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t 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 tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Do you need bath resealing in Tŷ-canol?
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Black mould in the sealant
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
Before booking anyone
- If travel is included in the price
- How long it needs to cure
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Use the extractor fan
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
