Surface by surface
Bathrooms and en suites
Baths, showers, basins and trays in new bathrooms are the most common new-build reseal. The old sealant comes out and anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in after cleaning and priming.
Show homes
Tired or marked sealant in a show home can be renewed. We cut it out and reseal neatly.
About our new build mastic in Budlett's Common
Our new-build work comes in two parts: plot mastic for developers, and putting right failed sealant for people who’ve bought a new home. Both get the same care over preparation, because that is what rushed new-build sealant normally lacks. We work on skirting & floors, kitchens and show homes, and people most often call us about cracked caulk along new skirting and sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces.
For a small place like Budlett's Common, the journey and access are planned in advance, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Sussex.

What affects the quote in Budlett's Common
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The amount of work
- Whether the work is at height
- How many areas need sealing
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Questions from Budlett's Common
Is Budlett's Common in your area for new build mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Budlett's Common is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.

Can you work on commercial sites?

Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?
Cracking in the first couple of years is common. Poor preparation at handover adds to it.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
If the seal has failed and water is getting in, do it now. Small gaps that are just cosmetic can be resealed once movement has slowed.
Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?
Most bathroom joints are white or clear, but sealant comes in other colours too. We match the colour to the finish.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Silicone is usually left for about a day before water reaches them.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you’re in the snagging period. After that, putting it right may fall to you so report it promptly.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
What we do, step by step
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours in a single home, including the tidy-up. In a small place like Budlett's Common, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out down to clean surfaces.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
