Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
About our new build mastic in Dullatur
A new house keeps drying out and settling for its first couple of years. Timber shrinks, plaster dries and baths and trays bed down, so sealant that was laid quickly before handover often cracks. Typical jobs include cracks appearing as a new home settles and cracked caulk along new skirting, on plot handovers, skirting & floors and bathrooms & en suites.
Around smaller Scottish places like Dullatur, 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.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

New homes and floors in Dullatur
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. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
In and around Dullatur, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Silicone is normally left for about a day before water reaches them.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Small faults turn into leaks if left.
What we are called out for in Dullatur
Sealant is often one of the last jobs before handover. Dusty, unprimed joints are common, so the bead never bonds properly.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
If you’ve bought a new home near Croy station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Your questions about new build mastic in Dullatur
Will you come out to Dullatur?
Yes, Dullatur is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Croy station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
How long before the joint can be used?
It depends on the product. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
It’s common, and there are generally two reasons: movement as the house dries and settles, and sealant laid onto dust without primer. A proper reseal deals with both.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Dullatur
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will give you a quote.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Why it’s worth doing now in Dullatur
It often makes sense to do all the sealant items on a snagging list together. It’s one visit, one quote and one set of cure times. Around Dullatur, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
Why us?
- Old sealant always removed completely
- 12-month guarantee on every job
- Colour picked to suit the job
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
How it works
On the day, we look over the joints with you first. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work starts. The work usually takes a few hours in a single home. Somewhere like Dullatur may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- 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.
- 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.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
