How we handle new build mastic in Badentoy Park
Building dust is behind a lot of failed new-build sealant. Each joint is cleaned of dust and primed where the product calls for it, so the new bead bonds properly instead of bonding to the dust. We are often asked to deal with leaking shower tray seals in a new home and kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall, across plot handovers, windows & doors and skirting & floors.
Around smaller Scottish places like Badentoy Park, new homes tend to be single plots or small developments. Each needs its sealant and floor joints finished as carefully as on a big site.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re covered after we have gone.

What the job involves on each surface
Show homes
Show homes need sealant that looks right from day one. Every bead is neat and coloured to suit the room.
Bathrooms and en suites
En suite showers are a common source of leaks into the room below. A proper reseal keeps water in the tray.
How the visit works
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Outside jobs in Badentoy Park need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The failed sealant is removed completely down to clean surfaces.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Related advice
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Do not seal over failed sealant yourself
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
Don’t stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray in the first few weeks. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant and protects the rest of the house.
Common questions in Badentoy Park
Is Badentoy Park within the area you cover?
Yes, Badentoy Park is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you cover Badentoy Park for new build mastic?
Yes, Badentoy Park is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
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. The old sealant always comes out first.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few pictures.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Do you work for developers?
Yes. Second-fix sealing in bathrooms, kitchens, frames and floors is part of what we do. Good preparation keeps snagging to a minimum.
How long will you be here?
A typical job takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots, including the preparation. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.

In and around Badentoy Park, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Why deal with it now?
If you’re still in the builder’s snagging or warranty period, ask them to put it right first. If it’s slow, or the same joint keeps failing, a proper reseal from a specialist is the next step. In a place like Badentoy Park, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

Common problems we fix in Badentoy Park
On many sites, sealant goes on in the final rush before handover. Joints aren’t always cleaned of dust or primed, and the sealant sits on grit instead of the surface.
People normally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
If you’ve bought a new home near Portlethen station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
