DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
New build mastic in Corsehill, done properly
A new build should have a neat, sound bead at every joint. When the finish is smeared, patchy or already cracking, it’s worth putting right early, before water reaches anything behind it. We’re often asked to deal with sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces and skirting joints opening in the first winter, across windows & doors, bathrooms & en suites and kitchens.
Around smaller Scottish places like Corsehill, 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.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Signs you need new build mastic in Corsehill
Once people move in, baths and trays take weight and bed down. If a bath wasn’t filled when it was sealed, the bead is stretched the first time it’s used and the sealant may split.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
For new homes near Dyce station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
Questions to ask before you book
- Are they insured?
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- How the colour is chosen
When it isn’t the sealant
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
If you’re not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Why act early in Corsehill
Water getting past a failed seal in a new build reaches walls and floors that are still settling. Dealing with it early keeps the damage away from ceilings, floors and finishes. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

What happens on the day
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work generally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Outside jobs in Corsehill need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
