How the job changes by surface
Bathrooms and en suites
Baths, showers, basins and trays in new bathrooms are the most common new-build reseal. We cut out the failed bead, clean and prime, and reseal with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Show homes
Bathrooms, kitchens and frames in show homes are sealed or resealed to a neat finish ready for viewings. We will plan around viewing times.
New build mastic in A' Chrìon Làraich
Some owners wait for the first year’s movement before having joints redone. That makes sense for small gaps that are just cosmetic, but a seal that is letting water through needs doing now. If you’re dealing with leaking shower tray seals in a new home and internal frame sealant that has split, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
For a place like A' Chrìon Làraich, the journey and access are planned in advance. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

What new build mastic looks like in A' Chrìon Làraich
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. A' Chrìon Làraich is in the west of Scotland, which is wetter than the east, which means plot mastic and the sealant in new homes has to cope with a lot of rain.
Around A' Chrìon Làraich, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
What affects the cost of new build mastic
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The number of rooms or windows
- The number and length of the joints
- Any mould that needs treating
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- The address or postcode of the job
- If someone has resealed it before
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- What’s wrong with the joints now

What does new build mastic cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we will talk you through it.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
Any seal that is leaking should be redone straight away. For small cosmetic gaps, waiting until the house has settled can save doing them twice.
Will it make a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
It’s common, and there are normally two reasons: movement as the house dries and settles, and sealant laid onto dust without primer. A proper reseal deals with both.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
What happens on the day
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Outside jobs in A' Chrìon Làraich need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.
- 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.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- 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
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

What we’re called out for in A' Chrìon Làraich
Sealant is often one of the last jobs before handover. Joints are not always cleaned of dust or primed, and the sealant sits on grit instead of the surface.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
For new homes near Crianlarich station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
Before booking anyone
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Whether you can choose the colour
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Whether they’re fully insured
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Do not seal over failed sealant yourself
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
