What new build mastic looks like in Bundalloch
Bundalloch is close to the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so any gaps are best picked up early. The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, which means plot mastic and the sealant in new homes has to cope with a lot of rain.
For new homes near Stromeferry station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

About our new build mastic in Bundalloch
Some new-home owners let the house settle before resealing. That makes sense for small gaps that are just cosmetic, but a seal that’s letting water through needs doing now. If you’re dealing with cracked caulk along new skirting and sealant work across a run of new homes, we can put it right.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, so skirting and floor joints can open up. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
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.
How we quote for new build mastic
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- When we can work, for business premises
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The product the joint needs
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- If someone has resealed it before
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Whether it’s a home or a business
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and describe the job and send pictures if you have them.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder

Questions from Bundalloch
Do you cover Bundalloch for new build mastic?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Bundalloch is part of that. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
I let a flat near Stromeferry station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?
That depends on what the joint meets: white or clear in most bathrooms, and a colour to suit worktops, frames and floors elsewhere. We agree the colour before work begins.
Should I wait before resealing?
For failed seals that let water through, the best time is now. Cosmetic gaps can wait until the first year or two of movement has passed.
Do you take on second-fix sealing for builders?
Yes. Plot mastic and second-fix sealing for developers is part of our work. Send the schedule and any specification and we will give you a quote.
How long does new build mastic take?
A typical job takes a few hours in a single home, including preparation and clearing up. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
There are generally two causes: the house moving as it dries, and sealant that never bonded properly. A proper reseal deals with both.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
When to call us in Bundalloch
Once people move in, baths and trays take weight and bed down. A bath sealed empty drops slightly when filled, straining the joint and the sealant may split.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
Around Bundalloch, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
What your quote should include
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Which colour the sealant will be
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Are they insured?
What we do, step by step
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots and we leave things clean and tidy. Somewhere like Bundalloch may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Record problems with dated pictures
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
Do not stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray while the sealant cures. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
Do not let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you.
