Why deal with it now?
A quick bead over the top of the old sealant can look fine at first, but it cannot bond to what’s underneath. A lasting seal starts with removing the old one completely. Around Corrie Common, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.

How we handle new build mastic in Corrie Common
Across Corrie Common, we work for both new-home owners and the builders handing those homes over. One shower or a whole phase of plots, the method doesn’t change: cut out, clean, prime where needed and reseal neatly. If you’re dealing with leaking shower tray seals in a new home and untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list, we can help, on bathrooms & en suites, plot handovers and skirting & floors alike.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Small gaps can appear as the house dries and can be resealed later.
Do not let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you so report it promptly.
For landlords and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. We can quote for more than one property at once.
