Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
New build mastic in Church Enstone
We work in new homes and on new-build sites across Church Enstone. Whether it’s one en suite or a run of plots, the method is the same: remove, clean, prime where needed, then a neat new bead. If you have new-build shower sealant that has already split and frame joints opening as the plaster dries, we can help, on plot handovers, skirting & floors and bathrooms & en suites alike.
Older homes in small places like Church Enstone often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Record problems with dated photos
- Get a leaking seal dealt with straight away
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Silicone is normally left for about a day to cure enough for use.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant.
Surface by surface
Kitchens
Beside the sink, the joint takes water every day. We use a sealant suited to kitchens suited to the job.
Skirting and floors
Floors and skirting move as the house dries and the heating runs. We use a flexible product rather than caulk painted or coloured to suit.

How the visit works
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots for a typical job.

- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
How to get a quote
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email photos if that is easy.
Advice
When it is not the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
- Cracking that points to a structural problem

FAQs for Church Enstone

Is Church Enstone within the area you cover?

What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll explain our choice.
How long does new build mastic take?
As a guide, most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Larger jobs naturally take longer.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Who should fix failed sealant in a new build?
Start with your builder while their snagging or warranty period runs. If that does not work out, we are happy to quote with our 12-month guarantee.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Common problems we fix in Church Enstone
A new house holds a lot of water from the build, which takes a year or two to dry out. Drying timber shrinks and pulls joints apart.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
Around Church Enstone, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
