New build mastic in Currie, done properly
Failed shower seals, gaps along the skirting and messy beads are common items on a new-home snagging list. While the builder’s snagging or warranty period runs, report it to them first, and if it isn’t put right, get in touch with us. If you are dealing with leaking shower tray seals in a new home and messy sealant that spoils new finishes, we can put it right.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. For a place like Currie, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- Each joint is checked for movement before we start.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Move anything stored near the joints

Advice
Common questions in Currie
Do you cover smaller places like Currie?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you do new build mastic in Currie?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Currie is part of that. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
It depends on whether water is getting through. A leaking shower or bath seal should be redone right away, but cosmetic gaps can wait for movement to slow.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do, and we’re fully insured.
How long should I leave it?
Cure times vary by product and the conditions. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Leave it or put it right?
A failed shower or bath seal in a new home lets water into floors and walls that are still drying out. Dealing with it early keeps the damage away from ceilings, floors and finishes. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

Landlord and commercial work in Currie
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. Several properties can be quoted together.
When it is not the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Broken tiles or a split tray
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
If you’re not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.

Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
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.

What affects the cost of new build mastic
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether the work is at height
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The product the joint needs
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- How we’d reach the joints
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The rough size of the job
Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Small gaps can appear as the house dries.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
Joints and finishes in Currie homes
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
If you’ve bought a new home near Curriehill station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two. Around Currie, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
