New build mastic in Hatton of Fintray, done properly
New homes move as they dry out. Timber dries and shrinks, and baths and trays settle, so sealant that was laid quickly before handover often cracks. We work on skirting & floors, show homes and kitchens, and common reasons people get in touch are beads laid onto grit and dust from the build and gaps between new skirting and floors.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, so skirting and floor joints can open up. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Hatton of Fintray and across Aberdeen.

For landlords and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can go on one quote.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
When something else is needed
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings

You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few pictures and we will give you a straight answer. In a place like Hatton of Fintray, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.

DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you’re 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 does not work out, we can still put it right.
Hatton of Fintray: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Hatton of Fintray?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Kintore station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Will you just run a new bead over the existing one?
No. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to the old layer, so it soon lifts and traps water. We cut the old bead out completely.
Who should fix failed sealant in a new build?
Start with your builder while their snagging or warranty period runs. If that does not work out, we are happy to quote and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Where do you work from?
We are based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
That depends on the joint. Failed seals in wet areas need doing now, while small cosmetic gaps can wait a while.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you’re covered
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
Ventilation matters in a new home, which is still drying out. Run the fan or open a window after bathing so moisture doesn’t sit on the sealant.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
