How we handle new build mastic in Stapleford Tawney
If your new home has a leaking shower seal, open skirting joints or untidy sealant, we can help. If you are still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, tell them first, and if it isn’t put right, get in touch with us. Common call-outs are for second-fix sealing on new plots and leaking shower tray seals in a new home, on kitchens, bathrooms & en suites and plot handovers.
Around Stapleford Tawney, 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.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

How do I get a quote for new build mastic in Stapleford Tawney?

What colour sealant will you use?
Most bathroom joints are white or clear, but other colours are available. We match the colour to the finish before we begin.
Should I go to my builder first?
Report it to the builder first while you are covered. Once that is done, or if they won’t put it right, we can reseal it properly.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Do you work for developers?
Yes. We take on second-fix sealant work across new plots. Good preparation keeps snagging to a minimum.

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Get a leaking seal dealt with straight away
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
Avoid standing on the rim of the bath or the edge of the tray while the sealant cures. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
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.
What affects the cost of new build mastic
You will get a clear quote before work begins. It’s based on:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Any mould that needs treating
- Access and height
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.
What to tell us for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- The rough size of the job
There’s no standard price list. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before we start. The work generally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. In a small place like Stapleford Tawney, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Each joint is checked for movement before any work starts.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Advice
What happens if it’s left?
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. In a small place like Stapleford Tawney, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.

When to call us in Stapleford Tawney
On many sites, sealant goes on in the final rush before handover. Joints are not always cleaned of dust or primed, so the bead never bonds properly.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
Whether the job is in Stapleford Tawney itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
