Joints and finishes in Bonar Bridge homes
Bonar Bridge is within about 1 mile of the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so it’s worth checking at snagging. 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.
In and around Bonar Bridge, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

The process
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The visit itself usually takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, depending on the size of the job. Outside jobs in Bonar Bridge need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- Finally, each room is checked and you are given the cure time.
Before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Use the extractor fan or open a window after showers to help keep mould away.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
Common questions in Bonar Bridge
Will you come out to Bonar Bridge?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you do new build mastic in Bonar Bridge?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Bonar Bridge is part of that. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
How long does new build mastic take?
Most jobs take a few hours in a single home, including the preparation. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
Lots of new homes see sealant crack early, because the house is drying and settling. Rushed application on dusty surfaces makes it worse.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. The old sealant is cut out fully, then clean and prime the joint, before resealing.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.
Different surfaces, different methods
Bathrooms and en suites
En suite showers are a common source of leaks into the room below. Resealing properly keeps water where it belongs.
Kitchens
Sink joints are wet all the time. A kitchen sealant goes in there.
How we quote for new build mastic
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The type of sealant required
- When we can work, for business premises
- The number and length of the joints
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- The type of property
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Roughly how big the job is
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll explain what’s involved and give you a clear quote.
For landlords and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Bonar Bridge and across Highland. Several sites can go on one quote, and we are fully insured for the work.
What we cannot put right
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before work begins. Sealant will not put right:
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before booking.

When to call us in Bonar Bridge
Not every new-build joint gets the right sealant: decorators’ caulk in a wet area, or a stiff sealant where there’s movement. Neither lasts long.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
For new homes near Ardgay station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
