What new build mastic looks like in Bourtreehill
Bourtreehill is within about 3 miles of the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so any gaps are best picked up early. Bourtreehill is in the west of Scotland, which is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for plot mastic and the sealant in new homes to keep out.
For new homes near Irvine station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

About our new build mastic in Bourtreehill
If your new home has a leaking shower seal, open skirting joints or untidy sealant, we can help. If you’re still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, tell them first, and if it is not put right, get in touch with us. Common call-outs are for gaps opening as the house dries out and settles and plot mastic for developers ahead of handover, on kitchens, plot handovers and show homes.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
All our work comes with our 12-month guarantee.

What we are called out for in Bourtreehill
Once people move in, baths and trays take weight and bed down. A bath sealed empty drops slightly when filled, straining the joint and can tear.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
In and around Bourtreehill, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Before you book anyone
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- The length of the guarantee
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
How the visit works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. For a place like Bourtreehill, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- Each joint is checked for movement before any work starts.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
How to prepare
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Common questions in Bourtreehill
Do you cover smaller places like Bourtreehill?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you work for landlords with property near Irvine station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Do you take on second-fix sealing for builders?

Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Every job comes with a one-year guarantee.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses and we are fully insured.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
- Broken tiles or a split tray
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What happens if it’s left?
DIY kits do not solve the main problems with new-build sealant: grit, unprimed surfaces and old layers underneath. Cutting out, cleaning and priming are what make the difference. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Why book with us
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- You choose the colour before work begins
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents, which can damage the surface.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak in a busy bathroom.
