About our new build mastic in Dores
New homes move as they dry out. Timber shrinks, plaster dries and baths and trays bed down, and sealant applied in a hurry at handover can split. We’re often asked to deal with cracked sealant around new window and door frames and joints pulling apart as timber shrinks, on plot handovers, skirting & floors and bathrooms & en suites.
Around smaller Scottish places like Dores, new homes tend to be single plots or small developments. Each needs its sealant and floor joints finished as carefully as on a big site.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

What we can’t put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.

Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What affects the cost of new build mastic
We don’t publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The number of rooms or windows
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Mould in or behind the old joints
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and give you a clear price before work begins.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Where the property is
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The rough size of the job
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will take it from there.

What the job involves on each surface
Show homes
We seal show-home bathrooms, kitchens and frames ready for viewings. Tell us when the home is open so we can plan around it.
Skirting and floors
Where the floor meets a bath panel or kitchen plinth, the joint keeps mop water out. We seal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.
How it works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots from start to finish. For a place like Dores, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out, with no layer left behind.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Water getting past a failed seal in a new build reaches walls and floors that are still settling. Resealing promptly protects the new finishes around it. Around Dores, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.

New homes and floors in Dores
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.
Around Dores, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it. For jobs in and around Dores, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
