DIY versus a professional finish
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, then guaranteed for a year.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.

Around Walton-on-the-Naze, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it. If you’ve bought a new home near Walton-On-The-Naze station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Why deal with it now?
A failed shower or bath seal in a new home lets water into floors and walls that are still drying out. Resealing promptly protects the new finishes around it. Around Walton-on-the-Naze, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Do not seal over failed sealant yourself
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
Avoid standing on the rim of the bath or the edge of the tray. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
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.
Surface by surface
Skirting and floors
As timber and screed dry, skirting and floors shift. Caulk cracks; a flexible sealant moves with it in a colour to suit.
Kitchens
Worktops in new homes can move slightly as the house dries, opening gaps behind the upstand. A fresh flexible bead closes them.
Quotes for new build mastic in Walton-on-the-Naze
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How easy the joints are to reach
- When we can work, for business premises
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
What to tell us for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will talk you through the work and give you a clear quote.
Honest limits
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Walton-on-the-Naze questions
Is Walton-on-the-Naze within the area you cover?
Yes, Walton-on-the-Naze is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Walton-On-The-Naze station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.

No. Sealing over old sealant looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts. All the old sealant comes out before work begins.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?

How long does new build mastic take?
A typical job takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, including the preparation. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Who should fix failed sealant in a new build?
While the snagging or warranty period runs, the builder should be your first contact. If it isn’t sorted, or keeps failing, get in touch with us.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, for a year. If anything is not right with the work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.
What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. In a smaller place like Walton-on-the-Naze, 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.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out.
- 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.
