New build mastic in Cuxton
We never seal over a failed new-build bead. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. Typical jobs include skirting joints opening in the first winter and sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces, on skirting & floors, windows & doors and show homes.
Work in a small place like Cuxton just needs the journey and access planning, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Cuxton and across Medway.

Why act early in Cuxton
A quick bead over the top of the old sealant can look fine at first, but it will not bond to the old layer. A lasting seal starts with removing the old one completely. Around Cuxton, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why us?
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants
- You choose the colour before work begins
- We never seal over old sealant

DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Quotes for new build mastic in Cuxton
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The number and length of the joints
- The type of sealant required
- Any mould that needs treating
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The problem you’ve noticed
- If someone has resealed it before
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. Whenever you’re ready, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Broken tiles or a split tray
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.

What the job involves on each surface
Skirting and floors
Gaps under skirting are one of the most common new-build snags. A flexible sealant closes it without cracking like caulk.
Bathrooms and en suites
Trays and baths in new builds settle as they’re used. The joint is stripped back before the new bead goes in.
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Record problems with dated photos
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
Ventilation matters in a new home, which is still drying out. Run the fan or open a window after bathing to help keep mould away.
Don’t let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you.
Cuxton: your questions answered
Will you come out to Cuxton?
Yes, Cuxton 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 Cuxton station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
Any seal that is leaking should be redone straight away. Cosmetic gaps can wait until the first year or two of movement has passed.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
What colour sealant will you use?
Most bathroom joints are white or clear, but other colours are available. We match the colour to the finish.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, always. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We work from Crawley. We cover Cuxton and the rest of Medway, along with the rest of our area.
Do you take on second-fix sealing for builders?
Yes. Second-fix sealing in bathrooms, kitchens, frames and floors is part of what we do. We clean and prime joints properly to keep callbacks down.
How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours in a single home. Somewhere like Cuxton needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
