How the job changes by surface
Bathrooms and en suites
Baths, showers, basins and trays in new bathrooms are the most common new-build reseal. The old sealant comes out and anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in after cleaning and priming.
Show homes
We seal show-home bathrooms, kitchens and frames. We’ll plan around viewing times.
How we handle new build mastic in Marley
In a new home, every joint should have a clean, even bead. Smeared, patchy or cracked sealant is worth sorting early, before water gets into the floor or walls. We’re often asked to deal with internal frame sealant that has split and sealant work across a run of new homes, across kitchens, plot handovers and bathrooms & en suites.
Older homes in small places like Marley often have timber floors that move with the seasons, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

Why deal with it now?
A failed shower or bath seal in a new home lets water into floors and walls that are still drying out. Dealing with it early keeps the damage away from ceilings, floors and finishes. Around Marley, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.

FAQs for Marley
I let a flat near Harrietsham station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you cover Marley for new build mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Marley is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
What colour sealant will you use?
The colour is chosen to suit the tiles, worktop or frame. Tell us what you’d like when you get a quote.
How much does new build mastic cost in Marley?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
That depends on the joint. A leaking shower or bath seal should be redone right away, while small cosmetic gaps can wait a while.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
Should I go to my builder first?
Report it to the builder first while you are covered. Once that is done, or if they won’t put it right, we will cut it out and reseal it.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
For landlords and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours in a single home, including the tidy-up. For a village or hamlet like Marley, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Each joint is checked for movement before we start.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
Getting ready for the visit

- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

What we are called out for in Marley
If plaster or screed was still damp when it was sealed, the bond suffers. Site programmes don’t always leave time for joints to dry first.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
For new homes near Harrietsham station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
Questions to ask before you book
- Who turns up on the day
- The length of the guarantee
- Are they insured?
- How long to leave it before use
Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
New build mastic in Marley: local notes
