Surface by surface
Show homes
Tired or marked sealant in a show home can be renewed. We cut it out and reseal neatly.
Bathrooms and en suites
Baths, showers, basins and trays in new bathrooms are the most common new-build reseal. The old sealant comes out and anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in after cleaning and priming.
New build mastic in Bishopbriggs, done properly
Developers send us the plot schedule and we work through it. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, windows, doors and skirting so plots are ready to hand over. We work on windows & doors, show homes and plot handovers, and the jobs we see most are sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces and leaking shower tray seals in a new home.
Around Bishopbriggs, shops and business units have floor joints that break down under traffic. Resealing them early stops the edges breaking away.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Bishopbriggs and everywhere else we cover.

What we’re called out for in Bishopbriggs
Baths and trays settle under load once the home is lived in. A bath sealed empty drops slightly when filled, straining the joint and the sealant may split.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
If you’ve bought a new home near Bishopbriggs station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

What new build mastic looks like in Bishopbriggs
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, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
Around Bishopbriggs, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
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 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.

Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
