How we handle new build mastic in Bailey's Hard
Some new-home owners let the house settle before resealing. For small cosmetic gaps, that is reasonable, but a failed shower or bath seal shouldn’t wait. We work on windows & doors, plot handovers and show homes, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps behind new kitchen upstands and beads laid onto grit and dust from the build.
Around Bailey's Hard, 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.
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hampshire.

What we’re called out for in Bailey's Hard
Baths and trays settle under load once the home is lived in. A bath sealed empty drops slightly when filled, straining the joint.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Internal frame sealant that has split
If you’ve bought a new home near Beaulieu Road station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

How it works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can get on with your day. The job normally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Somewhere as small as Bailey's Hard, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Each joint is checked for movement before any work starts.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Why it’s worth doing now in Bailey's Hard
The builder is normally the first port of call while the snagging or warranty period runs. If it’s slow, or the same joint keeps failing, a proper reseal from a specialist is the next step. In a small place like Bailey's Hard, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
Don’t stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Early resealing keeps the job small and protects the rest of the house.

Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
There are usually two causes: the house moving as it dries, and sealant that never bonded properly. A proper reseal deals with both.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
How long does new build mastic take?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes a few hours in a single home. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
Can I send you my snagging list?
Yes. Send the list and a few pictures of the sealant items and we’ll give you a quote. We’ll flag anything that needs another trade.
Can you do plot mastic on a new development?
Yes. Second-fix sealing in bathrooms, kitchens, frames and floors is part of what we do. Good preparation keeps snagging to a minimum.
