About our new build mastic in Virginia Water
We never seal over a failed new-build bead. Fresh silicone cannot bond to the old layer, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. We work on bathrooms & en suites, kitchens and skirting & floors, and people most often call us about messy sealant that spoils new finishes and internal frame sealant that has split.
Where new homes go up in smaller places like Virginia Water, it’s often a small development or a single plot. The sealant around baths, showers, frames and skirtings needs to be right from the start.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Signs you need new build mastic in Virginia Water
On many sites, sealant goes on in the final rush before handover. Dusty, unprimed joints are common, so the bead never bonds properly.
People normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
Around Virginia Water, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What insurance they hold
- The length of the guarantee
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
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.
How the visit works
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours in a single home for a typical job. In a smaller place like Virginia Water, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- The failed sealant is removed completely.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Record problems with dated pictures
- Do not seal over failed sealant yourself
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
Do not stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray in the first few weeks. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Early resealing keeps the job small and protects the rest of the house.
What we can’t put right
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

Why it’s worth doing now in Virginia Water
A quick bead over the top of the old sealant can look fine at first, but it can’t bond to what’s underneath. Taking it all out and starting again is the only way to get a lasting seal. In an older home around Virginia Water, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
Why us?
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting

- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
