About our new build mastic in Wateringbury
Some owners wait for the first year’s movement before having joints redone. For small cosmetic gaps, that’s reasonable, but a seal that is letting water through needs doing now. We work on bathrooms & en suites, kitchens and windows & doors, and common reasons people get in touch are shower seals failing in the first year or two and skirting joints opening in the first winter.
Work in a small place like Wateringbury just needs the journey and access planning, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee.

Leave it or put it right?
Resealing everything on a snagging list in one visit is usually simpler than chasing joints one at a time. It’s one visit, one quote and one set of cure times to plan around. Older cottages and farmhouses around Wateringbury can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.

Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
When to call us in Wateringbury
Baths and trays settle under load once the home is lived in. If a bath wasn’t filled when it was sealed, the bead is stretched the first time it’s used.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
For new homes near Wateringbury station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
What your quote should include
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- What happens if the job turns out different
- How the colour is chosen
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It helps if anything else comes up during the warranty period.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant.
When something else is needed
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
- Broken tiles or a split tray
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
