About our new build mastic in Coaltown of Balgonie
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. We work on kitchens, show homes and plot handovers, and common reasons people get in touch are second-fix sealing on new plots and gaps behind new kitchen upstands.
Around smaller Scottish places like Coaltown of Balgonie, new homes tend to be single plots or small developments. Each needs its sealant and floor joints finished as carefully as on a big site.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

Why deal with it now?
For developers, getting the sealant right first time saves return visits. Every return visit for a failed seal takes time and most come down to preparation. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
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.

Can I do it myself?
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. Everything old must be removed first.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Common problems we fix in Coaltown of Balgonie
On many sites, sealant goes on in the final rush before handover. Joints are not always cleaned of dust or primed, and the sealant sits on grit instead of the surface.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
For new homes near Markinch station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- How long to leave it before use
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
How the job changes by surface
Bathrooms and en suites
Trays and baths in new builds settle as they’re used. The joint is stripped back before the new bead goes in with baths filled first.
Plot handovers
We work through plots to your schedule, sealing each room ready for handover. Each joint is cleaned and primed where needed to keep callbacks down.

Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us and we’re fully insured.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.

Your builder, if you are still in their snagging or warranty period. If that does not work out, we’re happy to quote with our one-year guarantee.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we’re fully insured.
Can I add another job to the visit?

What affects the quote in Coaltown of Balgonie
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- When we can work, for business premises
- The size of the job
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Access and height
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The rough size of the job
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
Getting a quote is simple: tell us what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we will take it from there.
What sealant work cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Broken tiles or a split tray
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal

- Windows & doors
- Show homes

What happens on the day
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours in a single home in most cases. Outside jobs in Coaltown of Balgonie need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- Each joint is checked for movement before work begins.
- 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.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
