How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
- Record problems with dated photos
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
Don’t stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Resealing before mould gets in keeps the job straightforward.
Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchens
Sink joints are wet all the time. A kitchen sealant goes in there.
Bathrooms and en suites
Baths, showers, basins and trays in new bathrooms are the most common new-build reseal. We cut out the failed bead, clean and prime, and reseal with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.

- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build

Around Thomshill, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Outdoor work around Thomshill depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out down to clean surfaces.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
