Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.

How we handle new build mastic in Balmore
Building dust is behind a lot of failed new-build sealant. We clean every joint thoroughly and prime where the surface and product need it, so the new bead bonds properly instead of bonding to the dust. We work on plot handovers, bathrooms & en suites and show homes, and people most often call us about plot mastic for developers ahead of handover and gaps between new skirting and floors.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Surface by surface
Bathrooms and en suites
New-build bathrooms and en suites are where sealant fails most often. We cut out the failed bead, clean and prime, and reseal with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Skirting and floors
Floors and skirting move as the house dries and the heating runs. We use a flexible product rather than caulk painted or coloured to suit.

How the visit works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can get on with your day. The job usually takes a few hours in a single home, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Outdoor work around Balmore depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.

- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
Avoid standing on the rim of the bath or the edge of the tray while the sealant cures. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
Why deal with it now?
DIY kits don’t solve the main problems with new-build sealant: dust, no primer and old sealant left in the joint. Cutting out, cleaning and priming are what make the difference. 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.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

When it isn’t the sealant
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before we start. Sealant will not put right:
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.

What affects the quote in Balmore
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The product the joint needs
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Any mould that needs treating
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Where the property is
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Roughly how big the job is
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that’s easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll talk you through the work before giving you a price.
Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
New homes and floors in Balmore
The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, which means plot mastic and the sealant in new homes has to cope with a lot of rain. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
For new homes near Bishopbriggs station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh. In and around Balmore, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
