How we handle bath resealing in Princelett
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. We’re frequently asked to fix unsealed corners and gaps in the seal, on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Isle of Wight and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
FAQs for Princelett
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
How long before I can shower?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Are there extra charges for Princelett?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.

How we price bath resealing
We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Keep the joints dry
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
