Surface by surface
Show homes
We can refresh show-home sealant that has discoloured or been knocked. The old bead comes out and a clean new one goes in.
Windows and doors
The gap between a new frame and its plaster reveal often opens up. We cut out the cracked bead and reseal with a flexible sealant in a matching colour.
New build mastic in Dumfries, done properly
A new house keeps drying out and settling for its first couple of years. Timber dries and shrinks, and baths and trays settle, and sealant applied in a hurry at handover can split. If you’re dealing with gaps between new skirting and floors and new-build shower sealant that has already split, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Commercial units and shops in a town like Dumfries have floors with joints that need resealing as they wear. Sealing them before the edges break up saves a bigger repair.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Why deal with it now?
A tube of sealant from the DIY shop will not fix the cause: dust, no primer and old sealant left in the joint. Cutting out, cleaning and priming are what make the difference. If you live in a flat in Dumfries, failed sealant can send water to the neighbours below, and that’s much harder to put right.
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. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why choose Mr Mastic in Dumfries

Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you’re covered
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Do not wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
Don’t stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray in the first few weeks. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Early resealing keeps the job small and the new finishes intact.

What else we do in Dumfries
Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.

Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The type of sealant required
- The number and length of the joints
- Any working-time requirements on site
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first.
What we need to know
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- The rough size of the job
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- What’s wrong with the joints now
Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll take it from there.

- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
