How we handle new build mastic in Cove Bay
We never seal over a failed new-build bead. Fresh silicone can’t bond to the old layer, so it all comes out before we clean, dry and reseal. We are often asked to deal with beads laid onto grit and dust from the build and smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging, across windows & doors, bathrooms & en suites and kitchens.
Scotland’s cities are still adding new flats and houses, and in new homes, sealant and floor joints are often among the first snags, in Cove Bay as anywhere.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

When is the best time to reseal in a new build?

New build mastic around Cove Bay
Cove Bay is close to the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so any gaps are best picked up early. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
In and around Cove Bay, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Record problems with dated pictures
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you’re covered
- Follow the cure time we give you
Keep photos of the joints and any snagging correspondence with your builder. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Early resealing keeps the job small.
How it works
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. In a city area like Cove Bay, parking may be by permit or pay-and-display, so tell us what’s nearby. For flats, mention the door entry system and any shared-stair arrangements.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The failed sealant is removed completely.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
Small cosmetic gaps can wait for the house to settle, but water getting through cannot. Not sure whether yours can wait? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer. Private landlords in Cove Bay must meet the Repairing Standard, and damp or leaks can fall short of it, so it’s worth fixing failed sealant before a tenant reports it.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

What the job involves on each surface
Kitchens
Worktop, upstand and sink joints in new kitchens often get a hurried bead. We remove it and reseal with a kitchen-suitable sealant.
Bathrooms and en suites
Shower trays in new homes often move slightly in the first year. The joint is stripped back before the new bead goes in and baths are filled before sealing.
Do you need new build mastic in Cove Bay?
If plaster or screed was still damp when it was sealed, the bond suffers. On a busy site, joints aren’t always given time to dry.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
For new homes near Aberdeen station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
Questions to ask before booking
- How hidden problems are handled
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- When the joint can take water or movement
