- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
New build mastic in Bachelor's Bump, done properly
Snagging sealant properly means taking the failed bead out completely. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it all comes out before we clean, dry and reseal. If you have gaps behind new kitchen upstands and shower seals failing in the first year or two, we can put it right, on bathrooms & en suites, kitchens and plot handovers alike.
Around Bachelor's Bump, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

What sealant work can’t fix
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
- Broken tiles or a split tray

Common questions in Bachelor's Bump
Will you come out to Bachelor's Bump?
Yes. Bachelor's Bump is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you cover Bachelor's Bump for new build mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Bachelor's Bump is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
How long will you be here?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Bigger jobs take longer, and we will tell you how long to expect.
Can you do plot mastic on a new development?
Yes. Plot mastic and second-fix sealing for developers is part of our work. Send us the plot schedule and we will quote.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, we can. More than one area can be quoted together.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Get a leaking seal dealt with straight away
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Most silicones need around a day before water reaches them.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Early resealing keeps the job small.
Why it’s worth doing now in Bachelor's Bump
A hairline gap at a skirting can wait, but water getting through can’t. If you’re unsure which you have, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with photos and we will tell you. Around Bachelor's Bump, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Advice
What we’re called out for in Bachelor's Bump
Sealant is often one of the last jobs before handover. Dusty, unprimed joints are common, so the bead never bonds properly.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
If you’ve bought a new home near Three Oaks station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
What your quote should include
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- How hidden problems are handled
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How the colour is chosen
Different surfaces, different methods
Bathrooms and en suites
En suite showers are a common source of leaks into the room below. A proper reseal keeps water in the tray.
Windows and doors
Internal joints between frames and plaster often crack as a new house dries. We cut out the cracked bead and reseal with a flexible sealant in a matching colour.

What new build mastic looks like in Bachelor's Bump
Bachelor's Bump is close to the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so it’s worth checking at snagging. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
In and around Bachelor's Bump, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
