New build mastic in Upton
Some owners wait for the first year’s movement before having joints redone. That makes sense for small gaps that are just cosmetic, but a failed shower or bath seal shouldn’t wait. If you have worktop and upstand sealant coming away and cracks appearing as a new home settles, we can help, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Upton, 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.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What happens if it’s left?
For developers, getting the sealant right first time saves return visits. Every return visit for a failed seal takes time. Around Upton, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots for a typical job.

- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any parking rules near the property

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
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.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Do not seal over failed sealant yourself
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Silicone is normally left for about a day.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Resealing before mould gets in keeps the job straightforward.
