About our new build mastic in Wix
Across Wix, we work for both new-home owners and the builders handing those homes over. One shower or a whole phase of plots, the method does not change: cut out, clean, prime where needed and reseal neatly. We’re often asked to deal with leaking shower tray seals in a new home and beads laid onto grit and dust from the build, on kitchens, bathrooms & en suites and plot handovers.
Work in a small place like Wix just needs the journey and access planning, and once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Wix and across Essex.

Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
- A tray or bath that is not properly supported, until it’s fixed
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor

New build mastic in Wix: local notes
Wix is within about 3 miles of the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so any gaps are best picked up early. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
For new homes near Wrabness station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh. In and around Wix, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Wix is about 5 miles west of Harwich, in Essex. Our applicators cover new build mastic for homeowners, landlords and businesses in Wix. Our area takes in 644 places across Essex, large and small. There’s also a page for Chelmsford, roughly 30 miles from Wix.

Different surfaces, different methods
Show homes
We can refresh show-home sealant that has discoloured or been knocked. We cut it out and reseal neatly.
Plot handovers
Good preparation at handover saves snagging later. We clean out building dust before sealing.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you’re covered
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Most silicones need around a day before water reaches them.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you are in the snagging period. After that, putting it right may fall to you.
What we do, step by step
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Somewhere as small as Wix, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Why it’s worth doing now in Wix
A hairline gap at a skirting can wait, but water getting through can’t. If you are unsure which you have, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with pictures and we’ll tell you. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Wix, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
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.
What you get with us
- 20+ years of sealant experience
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
- 180+ five-star Google reviews
- 12-month guarantee on every job

Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
