About our new build mastic in Royal Tunbridge Wells
For builders and developers, we work through plots to the schedule you give us. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, windows, doors and skirting so plots are ready to hand over using the right product for each joint. We are often asked to deal with worktop and upstand sealant coming away and shower seals failing in the first year or two, on show homes, windows & doors and plot handovers.
Towns like Royal Tunbridge Wells have older streets and newer estates side by side, with new homes still going up on the edge of many towns. Whether a house is brand new or a few years old, sealant and floor joints are often the first snags to show.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Can I do it myself?
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 a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Parking in a town like Royal Tunbridge Wells is normally straightforward, but tell us if there’s a driveway or any restrictions, and let us know if the work is upstairs, in a flat or up high outside.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
Before we arrive
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any tricky access

Different surfaces, different methods
Plot handovers
Good preparation at handover saves snagging later. Dust from the build is removed first and prime where the product needs it.
Kitchens
New-kitchen sealant is often applied in a rush. We remove it and reseal with a kitchen-suitable sealant.
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
Keep pictures of the joints and any snagging correspondence with your builder. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
What sealant work can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Quotes for new build mastic in Royal Tunbridge Wells
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- When we can work, for business premises
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Which sealant suits the joint
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

How much does new build mastic cost in Royal Tunbridge Wells?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a short description of the job.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
Do you use white or clear sealant?
Most bathroom joints are white or clear, but sealant comes in other colours too. We choose one to suit the room and agree it with you.
Should I wait before resealing?
If the seal has failed and water is getting in, do it now. Small gaps that are just cosmetic can be resealed once movement has slowed.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Why deal with it now?
A tube of sealant from the DIY shop won’t fix the cause: grit, unprimed surfaces and old layers underneath. Proper removal and preparation are what make it last. Gaps in sealant and mould in the bead never get better on their own, and in a busy household in Royal Tunbridge Wells they spread with every shower and every downpour. Now is the easy time to put it right.
