New build mastic in Styants Bottom
Some owners wait for the first year’s movement before having joints redone. For small cosmetic gaps, that’s reasonable, but a failed shower or bath seal shouldn’t wait. We’re often asked to deal with plot mastic for developers ahead of handover and smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging, across skirting & floors, show homes and windows & doors.
Work in a small place like Styants Bottom just needs the journey and access planning, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Styants Bottom as everywhere else we work.

DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Surface by surface
Show homes
In a show home, the sealant is on display. Every bead is neat and coloured to suit the room.
Bathrooms and en suites
Trays and baths in new builds settle as they’re used. We reseal once the old bead is fully out with baths filled first.
What we do, step by step
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. In a small place like Styants Bottom, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

What sealant do you use?

Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we are fully insured too.
Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?
That depends on what the joint meets: white or clear in most bathrooms, and a colour to suit worktops, frames and floors elsewhere. We’ll agree it with you first.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Do not wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
Watch the joints as the house settles. Small gaps can appear as the house dries and can be resealed later.
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.
