New build mastic for homes and businesses in Arinagour
Failed shower seals, gaps along the skirting and messy beads are common items on a new-home snagging list. If you’re still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, tell them first, and if it is not put right, get in touch with us. Common call-outs are for beads laid onto grit and dust from the build and cracks appearing as a new home settles, across plot handovers, show homes and bathrooms & en suites.
For a place like Arinagour, the journey and access are planned in advance. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Why act early in Arinagour
DIY kits do not solve the main problems with new-build sealant: dust, no primer and old sealant left in the joint. Cutting out, cleaning and priming are what make the difference. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.

Do you need new build mastic in Arinagour?
The wrong product is sometimes used in the wrong place: decorators’ caulk in a wet area, or a stiff sealant where there’s movement. Neither lasts long.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
Whether the job is in Arinagour itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
What your quote should include
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Which colour the sealant will be
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
Your questions about new build mastic in Arinagour
Will you come out to Arinagour?
Yes. Arinagour is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is Arinagour in your area for new build mastic?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Arinagour is part of that. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it soon lifts and traps water. We cut the old bead out completely.
Are you insured?
Yes, we are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Can I send you my snagging list?
Yes. Send us the sealant items on the list, with photos if you can. We will tell you if anything on it is not a sealant job.
How much does new build mastic cost in Arinagour?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you use white or clear sealant?
Most bathroom joints are white or clear, but sealant comes in other colours too. We choose one to suit the room.
How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. For a place like Arinagour, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out down to clean surfaces.
- 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
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Do not wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Most silicones need around a day before water reaches them.
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 in a busy bathroom.

Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.

New build mastic around Arinagour
Arinagour is within about 1 mile of the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so any gaps are best picked up early. Arinagour 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 Arinagour, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
