New build mastic in Ceann Loch Gilb, done properly
In a new home, every joint should have a clean, even bead. Smeared, patchy or cracked sealant is worth sorting early, before water reaches anything behind it. If you have untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list and gaps behind new kitchen upstands, we can help, on bathrooms & en suites, plot handovers and kitchens alike.
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.
Every job is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- Roughly how big the job is
- Whether it has been sealed before
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
Every job is quoted individually, so start by telling us what you need. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details.
How the job changes by surface
Bathrooms and en suites
Shower trays in new homes often move slightly in the first year. We reseal once the old bead is fully out and baths are filled before sealing.
Show homes
Tired or marked sealant in a show home can be renewed. We cut it out and reseal neatly.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Get a leaking seal dealt with straight away
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
Watch the joints as the house settles. Small gaps can appear as the house dries, and they’re simple to reseal once movement has slowed.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
