How we handle new build mastic in Bower
We never seal over a failed new-build bead. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. If you have worktop and upstand sealant coming away and frame joints opening as the plaster dries, we can help, whatever the surface.
Work in a place like Bower is planned ahead, journey included. Outdoor plot mastic needs dry weather, but indoor floor and skirting joints can be sealed whatever the forecast.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

FAQs for Bower
Will you come out to Bower?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What guarantee comes with new build mastic in Bower?
All our work, in Bower and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, often. Several properties can go on one quote.
Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?
We use white, clear or a colour to suit the finishes. Tell us what you’d like when you get a quote.
Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?
It’s common, and there are generally two reasons: the house moving as it dries, and sealant that never bonded properly. Cutting it out and resealing properly fixes both.
Can you do plot mastic on a new development?
Yes. We work through plots to your schedule. Get in touch with the number of plots and the scope and we’ll quote.
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Run the fan or open a window after bathing.
Don’t let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. After that, putting it right may fall to you so report it promptly.
What else we do in Bower
New build mastic around Bower
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
In and around Bower, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. Whether the job is in Bower itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

What the job involves on each surface
Plot handovers
Developers can send the plot schedule and specification for a quote. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, frames and floors.
Show homes
Tired or marked sealant in a show home can be renewed. The old bead comes out and a clean new one goes in.
Why deal with it now?
Running a new bead over the builder’s sealant might look tidy for a few weeks, but it won’t bond to the old layer. Taking it all out and starting again is the only way to get a lasting seal. In an older home around Bower, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What sealant work cannot fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

How it works
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. The work normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Outside jobs in Bower 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. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- Finally, each room is checked and you’re given the cure time.
How to prepare
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

What affects the quote in Bower
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Access and height
- When we can work, for business premises
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Roughly how big the job is
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will explain what’s involved.
