Bathrooms and en suites

What affects the quote in Worth Abbey
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The product the joint needs
- How much there is to do
- How many areas need sealing
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Questions from Worth Abbey
Do you cover smaller places like Worth Abbey?
Yes, Worth Abbey is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is Worth Abbey in your area for new build mastic?
Yes, Worth Abbey is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. Several properties can go on one quote, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
My new home is still under warranty. Should I contact you?
Report it to the builder first while you are covered. Once that’s done, or if they will not put it right, we’ll cut it out and reseal it.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.
How long does new build mastic take?
That depends on how much there is to do, but most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
It depends on whether water is getting through. A leaking shower or bath seal should be redone right away, but cosmetic gaps can wait for movement to slow.
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we are doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Somewhere like Worth Abbey needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out, with no layer left behind.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any water getting in

Honest limits
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before we start. It will not solve:
- A tray or bath that isn’t properly supported, until it’s fixed
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Can I do it myself?
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.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
What happens if it’s left?
Water getting past a failed seal in a new build reaches walls and floors that are still settling. Resealing promptly protects the new finishes around it. Older cottages and farmhouses around Worth Abbey can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

Do you need new build mastic in Worth Abbey?
Once people move in, baths and trays take weight and bed down. A bath sealed empty drops slightly when filled, straining the joint.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Internal frame sealant that has split
If you’ve bought a new home near Three Bridges station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
