Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?
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.

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Do not wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
Wipe the sealant with warm soapy water. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents as they wear the bead.
Do not let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. After that, putting it right may fall to you.
Signs you need new build mastic in St Margaret's at Cliffe
New homes are full of moisture from plaster, screed and concrete, and it dries out over the first couple of years. As it does, timber shrinks and joints open.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
Around St Margaret's at Cliffe, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
