New build mastic in Bothwell
Across Bothwell, we work for both new-home owners and the builders handing those homes over. One shower or a whole phase of plots, the method does not change: remove, clean, prime where needed, then a neat new bead. If you are dealing with worktop and upstand sealant coming away and gaps between new skirting and floors, we can help.
New homes in smaller Scottish places are often single plots, self-builds or small developments. They need their sealant and floor joints finished just as carefully as on a big site.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are covered after we have gone.

When to call us in Bothwell
Later trades and the final clean can damage fresh sealant. If it’s disturbed before curing, the joint can be left weak and it shows once the home is in use.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
In and around Bothwell, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

When something else is needed
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. It will not solve:
- A tray or bath that is not properly supported, until it’s fixed
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
If you’re not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What else we do in Bothwell
Joints and finishes in Bothwell homes
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. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
If you’ve bought a new home near Blantyre station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bothwell
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
What happens on the day
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Outdoor work around Bothwell depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, 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.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- Finally, each room is checked and you’re given the cure time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
