How we handle new build mastic in Erbusaig
Some new-home owners let the house settle before resealing. For small cosmetic gaps, that is reasonable, but a seal that’s letting water through needs doing now. We work on windows & doors, kitchens and plot handovers, and common reasons people get in touch are new-build shower sealant that has already split and worktop and upstand sealant coming away.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

New build mastic around Erbusaig
Erbusaig is within about 1 mile of the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so it’s worth checking at snagging. 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.
If you’ve bought a new home near Duirinish station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two. In and around Erbusaig, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Different surfaces, different methods
Plot handovers
Good preparation at handover saves snagging later. Dust from the build is removed first and prime where the product needs it.
Kitchens
Beside the sink, the joint takes water every day. A kitchen sealant goes in there, food-safe where it’s needed.
When it isn’t the sealant
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
If you are not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.

How much does new build mastic cost in Erbusaig?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts.
Do you use white or clear sealant?
We use white, clear or a colour to suit the finishes. Tell us what you’d like when you get a quote.
Will you just run a new bead over the existing one?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it soon lifts and traps water. The old sealant always comes out first.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Should I wait before resealing?
That depends on the joint. Failed seals in wet areas need doing now, while small cosmetic gaps can wait a while.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
Wipe the sealant with warm soapy water. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents as they wear the bead.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you are in the snagging period. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you so report it promptly.
