How we handle new build mastic in Baliscate
We work in new homes and on new-build sites across Baliscate. Whether it’s one en suite or a run of plots, the method is the same: remove, clean, prime where needed, then a neat new bead. If you have gaps opening as the house dries out and settles and shower seals failing in the first year or two, we can help, on plot handovers, kitchens and show homes alike.
Work in a place like Baliscate is planned ahead, journey included. Outdoor plot mastic needs dry weather, but indoor floor and skirting joints can be sealed whatever the forecast.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- A tray or bath that is not properly supported, until it’s fixed
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant

Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you’re covered
- Do not seal over failed sealant yourself
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Silicone is normally left for about a day.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant.
Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

Common questions in Baliscate
What guarantee comes with new build mastic in Baliscate?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is Baliscate in your area for new build mastic?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Baliscate is part of that. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
It depends on whether water is getting through. Failed seals in wet areas need doing now, while small cosmetic gaps can wait a while.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
A new house dries and settles for a year or two, and sealant is often applied quickly onto dusty surfaces. Either can make it fail early.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. As well as householders, we work for landlords, agents, businesses and hotels across Argyll and Bute.
Who should fix failed sealant in a new build?
Report it to the builder first while you are covered. If it is not resolved, we’ll cut it out and reseal it.
What colour sealant will you use?
We use white, clear or a colour to suit the finishes. Let us know your preference when you ask for a quote.
