- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
Do not stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray while the sealant cures. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you’re in the snagging period. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you.
New build mastic for homes and businesses in Bridgend
We never seal over a failed new-build bead. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it all comes out before we clean, dry and reseal. We are often asked to deal with beads laid onto grit and dust from the build and smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging, on skirting & floors, windows & doors and bathrooms & en suites.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Leave it or put it right?
For developers, getting the sealant right first time saves return visits. Snagging visits for failed sealant cost time on every plot and most come down to preparation. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.

Joints and finishes in Bridgend homes
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
In and around Bridgend, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. If you’ve bought a new home near Huntly station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

FAQs for Bridgend
Can you do new build mastic in Bridgend?
Yes, Bridgend is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Do you cover smaller places like Bridgend?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Just list everything you need and you’ll get one quote.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
Where water is getting through, do not wait. Hairline cosmetic gaps can wait until the house has settled.
Do you take on second-fix sealing for builders?
Yes. We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders and developers. Send the schedule and any specification and we’ll give you a quote.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Can tenants book the work?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you’re 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 fails, we can still redo it.
What sealant work can’t fix
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before any work starts. It won’t solve:
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before you book.
