How we handle new build mastic in Lower Padworth
New homes move as they dry out. Timber shrinks, plaster dries and baths and trays bed down, and sealant applied in a hurry at handover can split. We work on skirting & floors, bathrooms & en suites and plot handovers, and the jobs we see most are leaking shower tray seals in a new home and kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall.
Somewhere as small as Lower Padworth, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Surface by surface
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.
Show homes
Tired or marked sealant in a show home can be renewed. The old bead comes out and a clean new one goes in.
Leave it or put it right?
Small cosmetic gaps can wait for the house to settle, but a leaking seal can’t. If you’re unsure which you have, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with photos and we will tell you. Older cottages and farmhouses around Lower Padworth can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

Quotes for new build mastic in Lower Padworth
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Access and height
- When we can work, for business premises
- The number and length of the joints
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
Helping us quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- If someone has resealed it before
- The rough size of the job
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
We do not publish a price list. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Record problems with dated pictures
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Use the extractor fan or open a window after showers so moisture doesn’t sit on the sealant.
Do not let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you so report it promptly.

- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
