How we handle new build mastic in Barabhas
We never seal over a failed new-build bead. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it all comes out before we clean, dry and reseal. Common call-outs are for leaking shower tray seals in a new home and cracks appearing as a new home settles, on skirting & floors, show homes and windows & doors.
Work in a place like Barabhas is planned ahead, journey included. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
Wipe the sealant with warm soapy water. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents as they wear the bead.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant and the new finishes intact.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. Several properties can be quoted together.
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Leave it or put it right?
DIY kits do not solve the main problems with new-build sealant: dust, no primer and old sealant left in the joint. Proper removal and preparation are what make it last. 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: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Surface by surface
Skirting and floors
Where the floor meets a bath panel or kitchen plinth, the joint keeps mop water out. They get a flexible, water-resistant sealant.
Bathrooms and en suites
Trays and baths in new builds settle as they’re used. The joint is stripped back before the new bead goes in and baths are filled before sealing.

Which products do you use?

Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
There are normally two causes: movement as the house dries and settles, and sealant laid onto dust without primer. A proper reseal deals with both.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Opening a window helps.

How we quote for new build mastic
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- The number and length of the joints
- Access and height
- How many areas need sealing
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Whether it has been sealed before
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will explain what’s involved before giving you a price.
The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The failed sealant is removed completely, with no layer left behind.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
