About our new build mastic in Tenterden
Across Tenterden, we work for both new-home owners and the builders handing those homes over. One shower or a whole phase of plots, the method doesn’t change: cut out, clean, prime where needed and reseal neatly. If you have leaking shower tray seals in a new home and internal frame sealant that has split, we can put it right, on show homes, bathrooms & en suites and kitchens alike.
In and around Tenterden, floors range from older timber boards to tiles and newer finishes, from timber that moves with the seasons to tiles laid on concrete. Skirting and threshold joints need a sealant that suits the floor.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Run the fan or open a window after bathing so moisture does not sit on the sealant.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you are in the snagging period. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you so report it promptly.
Why act early in Tenterden
Running a new bead over the builder’s sealant might look tidy for a few weeks, but it cannot bond to what’s underneath. Taking it all out and starting again is the only way to get a lasting seal. Around Tenterden, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

Common problems we fix in Tenterden
The first winter with the heating on dries a new home quickly. Skirting, frames and worktops pull away slightly.

- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
Whether the job is in Tenterden itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

- How much experience the applicator has
- What the cure time is
- Which colour the sealant will be
- How hidden problems are handled
When something else is needed
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
