Dalmellington New Build Mastic

- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
How we handle new build mastic in Dalmellington
Some owners wait for the first year’s movement before having joints redone. For small cosmetic gaps, that’s reasonable, but a failed shower or bath seal shouldn’t wait. If you are dealing with leaking shower tray seals in a new home and worktop and upstand sealant coming away, we can help, whatever the surface.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, so skirting and floor joints can open up. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Dalmellington and across South Ayrshire.

What new build mastic looks like in Dalmellington
The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, which means plot mastic and the sealant in new homes has to cope with a lot of rain. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.

Common problems we fix in Dalmellington
Later trades and the final clean can damage fresh sealant. A bead disturbed before it has cured may never seal properly.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
For jobs in and around Dalmellington, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
Questions to ask before booking
- How the colour is chosen
- Is VAT in the price?
- What product goes in the joint
- How hidden problems are handled
Different surfaces, different methods
Windows and doors
Internal joints between frames and plaster often crack as a new house dries. We cut out the cracked bead and reseal with a flexible sealant in a matching colour.
Kitchens
Sink joints are wet all the time. We use a sealant suited to kitchens suited to the job.

Advice
Why deal with it now?
Sealant done properly at handover means fewer callbacks. Snagging visits for failed sealant cost time on every plot. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
What you get with us
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Over 20 years’ experience
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Do not seal over failed sealant yourself
Watch the joints as the house settles. Small gaps can appear as the house dries and can be resealed later.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you are in the snagging period. After that, putting it right may fall to you.
