Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Roughly how big the job is
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Whether it has been sealed before

We don’t publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
New build mastic in Catterline, done properly
Our new-build work comes in two parts: plot mastic for developers, and putting right failed sealant for people who’ve bought a new home. In both, preparation makes the difference since hurried prep is behind a lot of new-build failures. We work on plot handovers, kitchens and windows & doors, and people most often call us about gaps between new skirting and floors and joints pulling apart as timber shrinks.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, so skirting and floor joints can open up. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Catterline and everywhere else we cover.

Questions from Catterline
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Stonehaven station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can you do new build mastic in Catterline?
Yes, Catterline is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
Will you just run a new bead over the existing one?
No. Fresh silicone does not stick to the old layer, so it soon lifts and traps water. The old sealant always comes out first.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
It depends on whether water is getting through. A leaking shower or bath seal should be redone right away, while small cosmetic gaps can wait a while.
Where do you work from?
We are a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you work for developers?
Yes. Second-fix sealing in bathrooms, kitchens, frames and floors is part of what we do. Good preparation keeps snagging to a minimum.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
New homes and floors in Catterline
Catterline is within about 1 mile of the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so it’s worth checking at snagging. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
For new homes near Stonehaven station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Do you need new build mastic in Catterline?
Baths and trays settle under load once the home is lived in. A bath sealed empty drops slightly when filled, straining the joint and the sealant may split.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
In and around Catterline, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Questions to ask before booking
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
Why deal with it now?
The builder is normally 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. Around Catterline, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
What you get with us
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting

- Damaged fittings that need replacing
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Catterline and across Aberdeenshire. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured.
How the visit works
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Outside jobs in Catterline need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the work

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
