New build mastic in Shabbington
Across Shabbington, we work for both new-home owners and the builders handing those homes over. One shower or a whole phase of plots, the method does not change: cut out, clean, prime where needed and reseal neatly. Common call-outs are for shower seals failing in the first year or two and messy sealant that spoils new finishes, on kitchens, windows & doors and bathrooms & en suites.
Around Shabbington, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Leave it or put it right?
Water getting past a failed seal in a new build reaches walls and floors that are still settling. Resealing promptly protects the new finishes around it. Around Shabbington, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.

Different surfaces, different methods
Windows and doors
Internal joints between frames and plaster often crack as a new house dries. We cut out the cracked bead and reseal with a flexible sealant in a matching colour.
Show homes
In a show home, the sealant is on display. Every bead is neat and coloured to suit the room.
What we do, step by step
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours in a single home, and the area is left clean. In a small place like Shabbington, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Advice
Common problems we fix in Shabbington
Once people move in, baths and trays take weight and bed down. If a bath wasn’t filled when it was sealed, the bead is stretched the first time it’s used and can tear.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
For new homes near Haddenham & Thame Parkway station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Who should fix failed sealant in a new build?
Start with your builder while their snagging or warranty period runs. If that does not work out, we are happy to quote.
Is there a guarantee?

What does new build mastic cost?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing and where.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. Fresh silicone does not stick to the old layer, so sealing over the top fails quickly. The old sealant always comes out first.
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Record problems with dated pictures
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Most silicones need around a day before water reaches them.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant and protects the rest of the house.

A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Honest limits
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Broken tiles or a split tray
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
