New Build Mastic in Trowley Bottom
Our applicators work in Trowley Bottom on plot mastic for developers and snagging failed sealant in new homes. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
When it isn’t the sealant
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
- Broken tiles or a split tray
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Windows & doors
- Skirting & floors

About our new build mastic in Trowley Bottom
If your new home has a leaking shower seal, open skirting joints or untidy sealant, we can help. While the builder’s snagging or warranty period runs, report it to them first. We work on skirting & floors, kitchens and windows & doors, and the jobs we see most are kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall and second-fix sealing on new plots.
Somewhere as small as Trowley Bottom, new homes tend to be conversions, self-builds or a few houses rather than an estate. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
- Do not wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
Avoid standing on the rim of the bath or the edge of the tray in the first few weeks. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.

Can I do it myself?
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’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
What we do, step by step
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours in a single home and we leave things clean and tidy. Somewhere like Trowley Bottom needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
