About our new build mastic in Bridgefoot
If your new home has a leaking shower seal, open skirting joints or untidy sealant, we can help. While the builder’s snagging or warranty period runs, report it to them first. We work on bathrooms & en suites, skirting & floors and windows & doors, and common reasons people get in touch are shower seals failing in the first year or two and gaps opening as the house dries out and settles.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

When to call us in Bridgefoot
Sealant applied onto damp surfaces doesn’t bond well. On a busy site, joints aren’t always given time to dry first.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
For new homes near Dundee station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
Before booking anyone
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- The length of the guarantee
- Are they insured?
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. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

What happens if it’s left?
It often makes sense to do all the sealant items on a snagging list together. It’s one visit, one quote and one set of cure times. Around Bridgefoot, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.

Questions from Bridgefoot
I let a flat near Dundee station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is Bridgefoot in your area for new build mastic?
Yes, Bridgefoot is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
How long does new build mastic take?
A typical job takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
How do I get a quote for new build mastic in Bridgefoot?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote.
Do you take on second-fix sealing for builders?
Yes. Second-fix sealing in bathrooms, kitchens, frames and floors is part of what we do. Good preparation keeps snagging to a minimum.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Can you work from my snagging list?
Yes. Send it with pictures and we’ll quote for the sealant items. If something is not sealant, we’ll say so.

- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Where the property is
- How we’d reach the joints
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. When it suits you, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
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.
Windows and doors
Draughts around new frames are often a sealant gap. We look at the joints and reseal where needed.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
