Problem with your new-build sealant joints in Auchinairn? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
How we handle new build mastic in Auchinairn
Some owners wait for the first year’s movement before having joints redone. For small cosmetic gaps, that’s reasonable, but a seal that is letting water through needs doing now. If you are dealing with sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces and kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall, we can help, whatever the surface.
Around smaller Scottish places like Auchinairn, new homes tend to be single plots or small developments. They need their sealant and floor joints finished just as carefully as on a big site.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
It depends on whether water is getting through. A leaking shower or bath seal should be redone straight away, while small cosmetic gaps can wait a while.
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. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Will you just run a new bead over the existing one?
No. Fresh silicone does not stick to the old layer, so sealing over the top fails quickly. We cut the old bead out completely.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work in homes, commercial premises and hotels, and we are fully insured.

What else we do in Auchinairn
Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Do not seal over failed sealant yourself
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents, which can damage the surface.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you are in the snagging period. After that, putting it right may fall to you, so raise it early.
The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. It usually takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Outdoor work around Auchinairn depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors isn’t 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
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Advice
Honest limits
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.

New build mastic around Auchinairn
Auchinairn 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. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
Around Auchinairn, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Sealant is often one of the last jobs before handover. Dusty, unprimed joints are common, and the sealant sits on grit instead of the surface.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
If you’ve bought a new home near Bishopbriggs station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchens
As a new house dries, worktops and walls shift a little, opening gaps behind the upstand. We reseal them with a flexible sealant.
Bathrooms and en suites
En suite seals are easy to miss on a snagging list until they leak. Resealing properly keeps water where it belongs.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
