When to call us in Wickham Heath
Baths and trays settle under load once the home is lived in. A bath sealed empty drops slightly when filled, straining the joint and the sealant may split.
Look out for any of the following:
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
For new homes near Kintbury station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

How we handle new build mastic in Wickham Heath
We work in new homes and on new-build sites across Wickham Heath. Whether it’s one en suite or a run of plots, the method is the same: remove, clean, prime where needed, then a neat new bead. If you have messy sealant that spoils new finishes and new-build shower sealant that has already split, we can put it right, on bathrooms & en suites, windows & doors and show homes alike.
Older homes in small places like Wickham Heath often have timber floors that move with the seasons, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Record problems with dated photos
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
Ventilation matters in a new home, which is still drying out. Use the extractor fan or open a window after showers.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Small faults turn into leaks if left.

Leave it or put it right?
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. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Wickham Heath, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Wickham Heath questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Kintbury station?

Should I go to my builder first?

Do you use white or clear sealant?

Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
How much does new build mastic cost in Wickham Heath?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
New build mastic in Wickham Heath: local notes
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
