How we handle new build mastic in Braehead
Failed shower seals, gaps along the skirting and messy beads are common items on a new-home snagging list. While the builder’s snagging or warranty period runs, report it to them first and if that stalls, we can do it. Typical jobs include shower seals failing in the first year or two and beads laid onto grit and dust from the build, across kitchens, windows & doors and show homes.
For a place like Braehead, the journey and access are planned in advance. Outdoor plot mastic needs dry weather, but indoor floor and skirting joints can be sealed whatever the forecast.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

What sealant work can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
If you’re not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surface by surface
Kitchens
As a new house dries, worktops and walls shift a little, opening gaps behind the upstand. A fresh flexible bead closes them.
Bathrooms and en suites
En suite showers are a common source of leaks into the room below. Resealing properly keeps water where it belongs.
The process
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. For a place like Braehead, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- 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.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
Before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

What new build mastic looks like in Braehead
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
If you’ve bought a new home near Carstairs station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two. In and around Braehead, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the 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.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Most silicones need around a day before water reaches them.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
