About our new build mastic in Crossmichael
Across Crossmichael, 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. We work on show homes, bathrooms & en suites and windows & doors, and common reasons people get in touch are shower seals failing in the first year or two and frame joints opening as the plaster dries.
Work in a place like Crossmichael is planned ahead, journey included. Outdoor plot mastic needs dry weather, but indoor floor and skirting joints can be sealed whatever the forecast.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Crossmichael
Later trades and the final clean can damage fresh sealant. A bead disturbed before it has cured may never seal properly, and the problem shows up after you move in.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
Whether the job is in Crossmichael itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
Before you book anyone
- How the colour is chosen
- What product goes in the joint
- Are they insured?
- What preparation is included
Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you’re covered
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off it as they wear the bead.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Early resealing keeps the job small and protects the rest of the house.

What the job involves on each surface
Kitchens
Worktops in new homes can move slightly as the house dries, opening gaps behind the upstand. A fresh flexible bead closes them.
Show homes
In a show home, the sealant is on display. Every bead is neat and coloured to suit the room.
What we do, step by step
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours in a single home. Outdoor work around Crossmichael depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Yes, Crossmichael is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.

If the seal has failed and water is getting in, do it now. Small gaps that are just cosmetic can be resealed once movement has slowed.
