How we handle new build mastic in Banton
If your new home has a leaking shower seal, open skirting joints or untidy sealant, we can help. While the builder’s snagging or warranty period runs, report it to them first, and if it isn’t put right, get in touch with us. Common call-outs are for cracks appearing as a new home settles and sealant work across a run of new homes, on windows & doors, bathrooms & en suites and kitchens.
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.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What does new build mastic cost?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing and where.
Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?
Lots of new homes see sealant crack early as timber and plaster dry out. Rushed application on dusty surfaces makes it worse.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we’re done.
New build mastic in Banton: local notes
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for plot mastic and the sealant in new homes to keep out.
In and around Banton, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. For new homes near Croy station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Why act early in Banton
Sealant done properly at handover means fewer callbacks. Snagging visits for failed sealant cost time on every plot, and they’re avoidable with good preparation. 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.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and give you a clear price before we start.

How it 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 in a single home in most cases. Outdoor work around Banton depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.

Advice
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
Ventilation matters in a new home, which is still drying out. Run the fan or open a window after bathing.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Resealing before mould gets in saves a harder job later.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
If you’re not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Plot handovers
- Windows & doors
- Skirting & floors
- Bathrooms & en suites
- Show homes
- Kitchens
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.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
