Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off it.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
How we handle new build mastic in Paslow Wood Common
Developers send us the plot schedule and we work through it. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, windows, doors and skirting so plots are ready to hand over with a sealant suited to each area. We work on skirting & floors, kitchens and show homes, and the jobs we see most are messy sealant that spoils new finishes and sealant that never bonded to the surface.
Around Paslow Wood Common, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Should I try it myself first?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
How it works
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours in a single home for a typical job. For a village or hamlet like Paslow Wood Common, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Each joint is checked for movement before work begins.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

My new home is still under warranty. Should I contact you?

Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
It depends on whether water is getting through. Failed seals in wet areas need doing now, while small cosmetic gaps can wait a while.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.

Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. We can talk about working times when we quote.

When to call us in Paslow Wood Common
Sealant applied onto damp surfaces does not bond well. On a busy site, joints aren’t always given time to dry.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
If you’ve bought a new home near Ingatestone station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is VAT in the price?
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
