New build mastic for homes and businesses in Cornhill
We work in new homes and on new-build sites across Cornhill. One shower or a whole phase of plots, the method doesn’t change: cut out, clean, prime where needed and reseal neatly. We work on bathrooms & en suites, skirting & floors and show homes, and the jobs we see most are kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall and skirting joints opening in the first winter.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after we have gone.

Different surfaces, different methods
Bathrooms and en suites
En suite seals are easy to miss on a snagging list until they leak. A proper reseal keeps water in the tray.
Plot handovers
Send us the schedule and any sealant specification. Sealant work across the plot is covered as agreed.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
Do not stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Small faults turn into leaks if left.
How we quote for new build mastic
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Access and height
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The old material and how stubborn it is
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Where the property is
- Roughly how big the job is
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. When it suits you, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
How the visit works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can carry on as normal. The job generally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Around Cornhill, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- Finally, each room is checked and you’re given the cure time.
How to prepare
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Advice
Cornhill: your questions answered
Is Cornhill in your area for new build mastic?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Cornhill is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is new build mastic in Cornhill guaranteed?
All our work, in Cornhill and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you take on second-fix sealing for builders?
Yes. We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders and developers. Send the schedule and any specification and we will give you a quote.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?
Most bathroom joints are white or clear, but other colours are available. We match the colour to the finish.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
Any seal that’s leaking should be redone straight away. Cosmetic gaps can wait until the first year or two of movement has passed.
Can tenants book the work?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Why it’s worth doing now in Cornhill
For developers, getting the sealant right first time saves return visits. Snagging visits for failed sealant cost time on every plot, and they’re avoidable with good preparation. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
