New homes and floors in Bogend
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.
If you’ve bought a new home near Kilmarnock station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

About our new build mastic in Bogend
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 is not put right, get in touch with us. Common call-outs are for shower seals failing in the first year or two and worktop and upstand sealant coming away, across windows & doors, bathrooms & en suites and kitchens.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, so skirting and floor joints can open up. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee.

Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
When something else is needed
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.

How it works
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. Around Bogend, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- The failed sealant is removed completely down to clean surfaces.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Do you use white or clear sealant?

Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
My new home is still under warranty. Should I contact you?
Start with the builder if you are in the snagging or warranty period. Once that is done, or if they will not put it right, we’ll cut it out and reseal it.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?

Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
When is the sealant fully cured?
It depends on the product. Before we leave, we will tell you the cure time.
What affects the quote in Bogend
We don’t publish a price list. The quote depends on:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How many areas need sealing
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- When we can work, for business premises
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.
Helping us quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email pictures if that’s easy.
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you’re in the snagging period. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you, so raise it early.
Do you need new build mastic in Bogend?
Once people move in, baths and trays take weight and bed down. If a bath wasn’t filled when it was sealed, the bead is stretched the first time it’s used and the sealant may split.
The most common problems we see are:
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
Around Bogend, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Why act early in Bogend
It often makes sense to do all the sealant items on a snagging list together. You get one visit and one clear quote. In a place like Bogend, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
