About our new build mastic in Burnbank
Some owners wait for the first year’s movement before having joints redone. For small cosmetic gaps, that’s reasonable, but a failed shower or bath seal shouldn’t wait. We’re often asked to deal with smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging and second-fix sealing on new plots, on windows & doors, plot handovers and skirting & floors.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Joints and finishes in Burnbank homes
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. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
Around Burnbank, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
Avoid standing on the rim of the bath or the edge of the tray while the sealant cures. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you’re in the snagging period. After that, putting it right may fall to you, so raise it early.
Quotes for new build mastic in Burnbank
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- When we can work, for business premises
- Whether the work is at height

What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and send you a clear quote before any work starts.

Leave it or put it right?
Resealing everything on a snagging list in one visit is normally simpler than chasing joints one at a time. You get one visit and one clear quote. In an older home around Burnbank, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Combining jobs into one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

Bathrooms and en suites
New-build bathrooms and en suites are where sealant fails most often. We cut out the failed bead, clean and prime, and reseal with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Kitchens
As a new house dries, worktops and walls shift a little, opening gaps behind the upstand. We reseal them with a flexible sealant.
Signs you need new build mastic in Burnbank
Baths and trays settle under load once the home is lived in. If a bath wasn’t filled when it was sealed, the bead is stretched the first time it’s used and can tear.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
If you’ve bought a new home near Hamilton West station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
