New Build Mastic in Geirinis
Plot mastic for developers and snagging failed sealant in new homes for householders, landlords and businesses in Geirinis. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
Ventilation matters in a new home, which is still drying out. Use the extractor fan or open a window after showers.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Dealing with it before it goes black keeps the job straightforward.
New build mastic for homes and businesses in Geirinis
If your new home has a leaking shower seal, open skirting joints or untidy sealant, we can help. While the builder’s snagging or warranty period runs, report it to them first. We work on show homes, windows & doors and bathrooms & en suites, and people most often call us about plot mastic for developers ahead of handover and new-build shower sealant that has already split.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

How it works
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work normally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Around Geirinis, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

How the job changes 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.
Bathrooms and en suites
En suite seals are easy to miss on a snagging list until they leak. Resealing properly keeps water where it belongs.
New build mastic in Geirinis: local notes
Geirinis is close to 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.
In and around Geirinis, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Geirinis (Gaelic: Gerinish) is in Na h-Eileanan Siar. From the centre of Geirinis to the outskirts, new build mastic is available for homes and businesses alike, from flats and houses to offices and hotels. Geirinis is one of 87 places in Na h-Eileanan Siar where we work.
Our applicators cover all of HS8 for new build mastic. Whether your property is on Cille Bha'nain and Dun Mor or a nearby road, our applicators can take on the job. Close by, we work in Creag Ghoraidh (4 miles north), Grimsay (5 miles north-east), Balivanich (8 miles north), Baile a' Mhanaich (8 miles north) and Dalabrog (13 miles south).

Common problems we fix in Geirinis
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.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
Whether the job is in Geirinis itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
What to look for in a quote
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are

- How hidden problems are handled
- Is VAT in the price?
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.
