About our new build mastic in Burnhouse
New homes move as they dry out. Timber shrinks, plaster dries and baths and trays bed down, and sealant applied in a hurry at handover can split. We work on show homes, skirting & floors and plot handovers, and common reasons people get in touch are new-build shower sealant that has already split and gaps between new skirting and floors.
Around smaller Scottish places like Burnhouse, new homes tend to be single plots or small developments. They need their sealant and floor joints finished just as carefully as on a big site.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

What affects the cost of new build mastic
We do not publish a price list. The quote depends on:
- How many areas need sealing
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The size of the job
- How easy the joints are to reach
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
What to tell us for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- What’s wrong with the joints now
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. Whenever you are ready, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
Keep pictures of the joints and any snagging correspondence with your builder. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Burnhouse
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
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.
How the visit works
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work generally takes a few hours in a single home. In smaller Scottish places, parking is generally less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The failed sealant is removed completely, with no layer left behind.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Related advice
What happens if it’s left?
The builder is usually the first port of call while the snagging or warranty period runs. If it’s slow, or the same joint keeps failing, a proper reseal from a specialist is the next step. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Joints and finishes in Burnhouse homes
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. Burnhouse is in the west of Scotland, which is wetter than the east, which means plot mastic and the sealant in new homes has to cope with a lot of rain.
If you’ve bought a new home near Dunlop station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

When to call us in Burnhouse
The first winter with the heating on dries a new home quickly. Gaps open along skirting, frames and worktops and cracks appear in the sealant.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
In and around Burnhouse, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Questions from Burnhouse
Will you come out to Burnhouse?
Yes. Burnhouse is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Dunlop station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
How much does new build mastic cost in Burnhouse?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You’ll get a clear quote before we start.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we will quote it together.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
