The staircase where it meets the wall is cracking in a new build. Is there a filler/caulk that is white, will fill the gap and NOT need painting? Thanks in advance. Matt.
leave alone it will crack again its down to settlement and house drying out after 12 months builder will send their house maintance crew around to sort
It’s been 7 months and unless the gap is greater than 4mm they won’t touch it. I just want to tidy it up.
Thanks for the replies but what product do you recommend that would be white when dry and smooth, most seem cream and the white caulks I’ve used are ‘rubbery’
My house is 3.5 years old and I’m still getting them. When it first happened I got the builder out 6 months later, in hindsight I should have waited 2 years so he could come and sort all of em.
That certainly will look a far better job than a bead of shrunk back caulk. Buy the quadrant from a timber merchant as longer lengths are available.
