Questions from Dillarburn
Can you do new build mastic in Dillarburn?

Is there a guarantee?
Yes. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months, wherever you are.
How long should I leave it?
It depends on the product. Before we leave, we will tell you the cure time.
Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?
New homes dry out and move in their first couple of years, and sealant is often rushed onto dusty, unprimed surfaces. Both lead to early failure.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. Sealing over old sealant looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts. All the old sealant comes out before any work starts.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
New build mastic in Dillarburn
Developers send us the plot schedule and we work through it. Bathrooms, en suites, kitchens, frames and skirting are sealed ready for handover using the right product for each joint. If you have leaking shower tray seals in a new home and plot mastic for developers ahead of handover, we can help, whatever the surface.
Around smaller Scottish places like Dillarburn, new homes tend to be single plots or small developments. They need their sealant and floor joints finished just as carefully as on a big site.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Why act early in Dillarburn
DIY kits do not solve the main problems with new-build sealant: dust, no primer and old sealant left in the joint. Proper removal and preparation are what make it last. 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.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

What affects the quote in Dillarburn
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The type of sealant required
- The number of rooms or windows
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How easy the joints are to reach
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- If someone has resealed it before
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email photos if that’s easy.
What sealant work cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
If you’re not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
Do not stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray while the sealant cures. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak in a busy bathroom.

DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
