DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
About our new build mastic in Brightons
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 it isn’t put right, get in touch with us. We’re often asked to deal with gaps behind new kitchen upstands and sealant that never bonded to the surface, on show homes, windows & doors and kitchens.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Brightons as everywhere else we work.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off it.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Dealing with it before it goes black saves a harder job later.
New homes and floors in Brightons
Brightons is close to 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. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
Around Brightons, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it. For new homes near Polmont station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
Brightons is about 2 miles south of Grangemouth, in Falkirk.

Across Falkirk, we cover 50 places, and Brightons is one of them. Edinburgh is on our list too, about 20 miles from Brightons.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will quote.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.
How the visit works
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The work normally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, depending on the amount of work. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- Each joint is checked for movement before any work starts.
- 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.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Brightons questions
Do you cover smaller places like Brightons?
Yes. Brightons is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Polmont station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it soon lifts and traps water. We cut the old bead out completely.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
If the seal has failed and water is getting in, do it now. Hairline cosmetic gaps can wait until the house has settled.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Why it’s worth doing now in Brightons
A tube of sealant from the DIY shop will not fix the cause: grit, unprimed surfaces and old layers underneath. Cutting out, cleaning and priming are what make the difference. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
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. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.

What we cannot put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
- Broken tiles or a split tray
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we seal

What affects the quote in Brightons
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- When we can work, for business premises
- The size of the job
- Whether the work is at height
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- Roughly how big the job is
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- How we’d reach the joints
- Whether it’s a home or a business
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.
