Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Get a leaking seal dealt with straight away
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
New build mastic for homes and businesses in Auldcathie
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. We work on skirting & floors, kitchens and plot handovers, and people most often call us about gaps between new skirting and floors and sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

How the visit works

- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
