Different surfaces, different methods
Show homes
In a show home, the sealant is on display. We lay neat, even beads in colours to suit the finishes.
Bathrooms and en suites
Shower trays in new homes often move slightly in the first year. The joint is stripped back before the new bead goes in with baths filled first.
How we handle new build mastic in Herne Bay
We work in new homes and on new-build sites across Herne Bay. Whether it’s one en suite or a run of plots, the method is the same: cut out, clean, prime where needed and reseal neatly. Common call-outs are for kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall and new-build shower sealant that has already split, on bathrooms & en suites, show homes and plot handovers.
Small business units and shops in a town like Herne Bay have floors that take heavy wear. Threshold and floor joints are best resealed before their edges start breaking away.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

What new build mastic looks like in Herne Bay
Herne Bay is within about 1 mile of the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so it’s worth checking at snagging. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
For new homes near Herne Bay station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you’re covered
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
Wipe the sealant with warm soapy water. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you’re in the snagging period. After that, putting it right may fall to you so report it promptly.
What we’re called out for in Herne Bay
Not every new-build joint gets the right sealant: decorators’ caulk in a wet area, or a stiff sealant where there’s movement. Both fail early.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
In and around Herne Bay, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Related advice
What happens if it’s left?
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. Black mould and gaps in sealant do not fix themselves, and in a busy home in Herne Bay they get worse with every use. Now is the easy time to put it right.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.
