- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- 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.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you are in the snagging period. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you, so raise it early.
How we handle new build mastic in Elrick
Some owners wait for the first year’s movement before having joints redone. That makes sense for small gaps that are just cosmetic, but a failed shower or bath seal shouldn’t wait. We work on kitchens, skirting & floors and windows & doors, and people most often call us about smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging and new-build shower sealant that has already split.
For a place like Elrick, the journey and access are planned in advance. Outdoor plot mastic needs dry weather, but indoor floor and skirting joints can be sealed whatever the forecast.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
When something else is needed
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.

Do you need new build mastic in Elrick?
Fresh sealant can be knocked or cut by trades finishing off. If it’s disturbed before curing, the joint can be left weak.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
Whether the job is in Elrick itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- When the joint can take water or movement
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- Which colour the sealant will be
The process
There is not 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 from start to finish. Outside jobs in Elrick need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- Finally, each room is checked and you are given the cure time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us if parking is tricky
