About our new build mastic in Newbridge Drive
If your new home has a leaking shower seal, open skirting joints or untidy sealant, we can help. If you are still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, tell them first and if that stalls, we can do it. We work on kitchens, plot handovers and show homes, and the jobs we see most are beads laid onto grit and dust from the build and leaking shower tray seals in a new home.
For a place like Newbridge Drive, 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.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Signs you need new build mastic in Newbridge Drive
Sealant applied onto damp surfaces doesn’t bond well. On a busy site, joints aren’t always given time to dry before the sealant goes on.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
Around Newbridge Drive, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Questions to ask before you book
- What preparation is included
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- The length of the guarantee
- What insurance they hold
When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
- A tray or bath that isn’t properly supported, until it’s fixed
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Windows & doors
- Plot handovers

Other services in Newbridge Drive
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What the job involves on each surface
Show homes
Bathrooms, kitchens and frames in show homes are sealed or resealed to a neat finish. We’ll plan around viewing times.
Bathrooms and en suites
Shower trays in new homes often move slightly in the first year. We reseal once the old bead is fully out with baths filled first.
How it works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can get on with your day. The job generally takes a few hours in a single home, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Outside jobs in Newbridge Drive need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
