When it isn’t the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings

New build mastic in Coates
If your new home has a leaking shower seal, open skirting joints or untidy sealant, we can help. While the builder’s snagging or warranty period runs, report it to them first and if that stalls, we can do it. We work on bathrooms & en suites, show homes and kitchens, and the jobs we see most are sealant work across a run of new homes and gaps behind new kitchen upstands.
For a small place like Coates, the journey and access are planned in advance, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Coates as everywhere else we work.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will give you a quote.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you’re covered
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. 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. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant and the new finishes intact.
Different surfaces, different methods
Show homes
We seal show-home bathrooms, kitchens and frames to a tidy standard. Tell us when the home is open so we can plan around it.
Windows and doors
A draught at a new window can be a missed or failed joint. We check and reseal the frame edges.
Questions from Coates
Is Coates within the area you cover?
Yes, Coates is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you work for landlords with property near Pulborough station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?
Most bathroom joints are white or clear, but other colours are available. We match the colour to the finish and agree it with you.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and you’ll get one quote.
Do you work through snagging lists?
Yes. Send it with photos and we will quote for the sealant items. Items that need a plumber, tiler or the builder are flagged.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
For failed seals that let water through, the best time is now. For small cosmetic gaps, waiting until the house has settled can save doing them twice.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses and we’re fully insured.
What we’re called out for in Coates
Baths and trays settle under load once the home is lived in. A bath sealed empty drops slightly when filled, straining the joint.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
For new homes near Pulborough station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What guarantee comes with the work
- How much experience the applicator has
- Are they insured?
