- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
Don’t stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray while the sealant cures. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
Do not let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. After that, putting it right may fall to you so report it promptly.
New build mastic in Balbeggie, done properly
A new build should have a neat, sound bead at every joint. Smeared, patchy or cracked sealant is worth sorting early, before water reaches anything behind it. If you have smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging and second-fix sealing on new plots, we can put it right, on show homes, windows & doors and skirting & floors alike.
New homes in smaller Scottish places are often single plots, self-builds or small developments. Each needs its sealant and floor joints finished as carefully as on a big site.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Why deal with it now?
Running a new bead over the builder’s sealant might look tidy for a few weeks, but it will not bond to the old layer. A lasting seal starts with removing the old one completely. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
How the visit works
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots for a typical job. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- Each joint is checked for movement before any work starts.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any tricky access

New build mastic in Balbeggie: local notes

Questions from Balbeggie
Is new build mastic in Balbeggie guaranteed?
All our work, in Balbeggie and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you cover smaller places like Balbeggie?
Yes. Balbeggie is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Who should fix failed sealant in a new build?
Start with the builder if you’re in the snagging or warranty period. If it isn’t resolved, we will cut it out and reseal it.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location, with photos by email if possible. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

When to call us in Balbeggie
Baths and trays settle under load once the home is lived in. A bath sealed empty drops slightly when filled, straining the joint.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
Whether the job is in Balbeggie itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
