- New-build shower sealant that has already split
New build mastic in Dulnain Bridge
Snagging sealant properly means taking the failed bead out completely. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it all comes out before we clean, dry and reseal. Common call-outs are for leaking shower tray seals in a new home and sealant that never bonded to the surface, across skirting & floors, windows & doors and kitchens.
Around smaller Scottish places like Dulnain Bridge, 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.

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Most silicones need around a day.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak.
How the job changes by surface
Skirting and floors
Wet-area floor joints need a flexible seal. We seal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.
Windows and doors
External mastic around new windows and doors is sometimes rushed or missed. It’s resealed with an exterior sealant suited to the frame and wall.
Signs you need new build mastic in Dulnain Bridge
Not every new-build joint gets the right sealant: caulk where water collects, or a rigid product on a moving joint. Neither lasts long.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
Whether the job is in Dulnain Bridge itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Joints and finishes in Dulnain Bridge homes

In and around Dulnain Bridge, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Can I do it myself?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
How it works
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots for a typical job. Outside jobs in Dulnain Bridge need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Why deal with it now?
Sealant done properly at handover means fewer callbacks. Every return visit for a failed seal takes time. In an older home around Dulnain Bridge, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
