What the job involves on each surface
Show homes
We seal show-home bathrooms, kitchens and frames. Tell us when the home is open so we can plan around it.
Kitchens
As a new house dries, worktops and walls shift a little, opening gaps behind the upstand. We reseal them with a flexible sealant.
New build mastic in Aviemore
We never seal over a failed new-build bead. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it all comes out before we clean, dry and reseal. We’re often asked to deal with sealant that never bonded to the surface and gaps opening as the house dries out and settles, on windows & doors, kitchens and bathrooms & en suites.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, so skirting and floor joints can open up. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Aviemore and across Highland.

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
Keep pictures of the joints and any snagging correspondence with your builder. It helps if anything else comes up during the warranty period.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Dealing with it before it goes black saves a harder job later.

How much does new build mastic cost in Aviemore?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing and where.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
It’s common, and there are generally two reasons: the house moving as it dries, and sealant that never bonded properly. Cutting it out and resealing properly fixes both.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. Every job comes with a one-year guarantee.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.
Why act early in Aviemore
The builder is generally the first port of call while the snagging or warranty period runs. If it keeps failing or isn’t dealt with, we can reseal it properly. In a place like Aviemore, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
