About our new build mastic in Elsrickle
We work in new homes and on new-build sites across Elsrickle. One shower or a whole phase of plots, the method doesn’t change: cut out, clean, prime where needed and reseal neatly. We work on show homes, skirting & floors and windows & doors, and the jobs we see most are kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall and sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces.
Work in a place like Elsrickle is planned ahead, journey included. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

When to call us in Elsrickle
Baths and trays settle under load once the home is lived in. A bath sealed empty drops slightly when filled, straining the joint and can tear.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
For jobs in and around Elsrickle, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
What to look for in a quote
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Is VAT in the price?

How we quote for new build mastic
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- Whether the work is at height
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The type of sealant required
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- If someone has resealed it before
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email pictures if that is easy.
How it works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The visit itself normally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, depending on the size of the job. For a place like Elsrickle, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Your questions about new build mastic in Elsrickle
Do you cover smaller places like Elsrickle?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you do new build mastic in Elsrickle?
Yes, Elsrickle is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes. As well as homeowners, we work for landlords, agents, businesses and hotels.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. Over-sealing traps mould and water and soon fails. All the old sealant comes out before work begins.
How do I get a quote for new build mastic in Elsrickle?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a short description of the job.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
- A tray or bath that is not properly supported, until it’s fixed
If you’re not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.

Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. Several properties can be quoted together.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll quote.
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
Avoid standing on the rim of the bath or the edge of the tray in the first few weeks. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
