Why act early in Easton
A failed shower or bath seal in a new home lets water into floors and walls that are still drying out. Resealing promptly protects the new finishes around it. Older cottages and farmhouses around Easton can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

New build mastic for homes and businesses in Easton
Building dust is behind a lot of failed new-build sealant. Each joint is cleaned of dust and primed where the product calls for it, so the sealant actually sticks instead of bonding to the dust. Typical jobs include messy sealant that spoils new finishes and skirting joints opening in the first winter, on windows & doors, bathrooms & en suites and show homes.
For a small place like Easton, the journey and access are planned in advance, and the work itself is the same as on any site.
Every job is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Berkshire.

Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
Avoid standing on the rim of the bath or the edge of the tray. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Dealing with it before it goes black keeps the job straightforward.
What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
- A tray or bath that is not properly supported, until it’s fixed
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder

FAQs for Easton
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Kintbury station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Easton?
Yes. Easton is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
Do you work for developers?
Yes. We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders and developers. Send us the plot schedule and we’ll quote.
How long does new build mastic take?
That depends on the amount of work, but as a guide it takes a few hours in a single home. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
What we are called out for in Easton
Sealant is often one of the last jobs before handover. Dusty, unprimed joints are common, so the bead never bonds properly.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
Around Easton, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Questions to ask before booking
- What insurance they hold
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
How the visit works
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours in a single home. In a small place like Easton, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

DIY sealant or a professional job?

If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

We do not publish a price list. The quote depends on:
