Why act early in Shanklin
A failed shower or bath seal in a new home lets water into floors and walls that are still drying out. Resealing promptly protects the new finishes around it. In an older home around Shanklin, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

How we handle new build mastic in Shanklin
We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders, and snagging reseals for new-home owners. In both, preparation makes the difference. If you have cracked caulk along new skirting and second-fix sealing on new plots, we can help, on skirting & floors, bathrooms & en suites and show homes alike.
Homes around Shanklin range from older cottages to newer houses, and their floors range just as widely, each moving in its own way. Skirting and threshold joints need a sealant that suits the floor.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Shanklin: your questions answered
Do you cover Shanklin for new build mastic?
Yes, Shanklin is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
I let a flat near Shanklin station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Do you use white or clear sealant?
It depends on the joint: white or clear in most bathrooms, and a colour to suit worktops, frames and floors elsewhere. We’ll agree it with you first.
Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?
Lots of new homes see sealant crack early, because the house is drying and settling. Rushed application on dusty surfaces makes it worse.
How long before the joint can be used?
It depends on the product and the conditions. Before we leave, we will tell you the cure time.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.
Don’t let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you so report it promptly.
What affects the quote in Shanklin
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Access and height
- Any mould that needs treating
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The size of the job
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- If someone has resealed it before
- The type of property
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that is easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll explain what’s involved and give you a clear quote.
