New Build Mastic in Errol
New-build sealant joints in Errol need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
Common problems we fix in Errol
The wrong product is sometimes used in the wrong place: decorators’ caulk in a wet area, or a stiff sealant where there’s movement. Neither lasts long.
The most common problems we see are:
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
Around Errol, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

New build mastic in Errol, done properly
Some new-home owners let the house settle before resealing. That makes sense for small gaps that are just cosmetic, but a failed shower or bath seal shouldn’t wait. If you are dealing with messy sealant that spoils new finishes and leaking shower tray seals in a new home, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Work in a place like Errol is planned ahead, journey included. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

New build mastic in Errol: local notes
Errol 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. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
Whether the job is in Errol itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Errol: your questions answered
Will you come out to Errol?
Yes, we do. 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.
Is there a guarantee on new build mastic in Errol?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you take on second-fix sealing for builders?
Yes. Plot mastic and second-fix sealing for developers is part of our work. Send the schedule and any specification and we will give you a quote.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
What colour sealant will you use?
Most bathroom joints are white or clear, but sealant comes in other colours too. We match the colour to the finish before we begin.
How do I get a quote for new build mastic in Errol?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
What information do you need?
Tell us what needs doing and where, with pictures by email if possible. We will ask anything else we need to know.
My new home is still under warranty. Should I contact you?
Start with the builder if you’re in the snagging or warranty period. If it is not resolved, we can reseal it properly.
What happens on the day
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Somewhere like Errol may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. 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.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- 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
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Related advice
Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you are 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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
What sealant work cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
If you’re not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
Avoid standing on the rim of the bath or the edge of the tray. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
