How we quote for new build mastic
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Access and height
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The size of the job
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:

- The address or postcode of the job
- The problem you’ve noticed
We do not publish a price list. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
How we handle new build mastic in Heogan
Building dust is behind a lot of failed new-build sealant. We clean every joint thoroughly and prime where the surface and product need it, so the sealant actually sticks instead of bonding to the dust. Common call-outs are for plot mastic for developers ahead of handover and shower seals failing in the first year or two, on kitchens, skirting & floors and plot handovers.
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.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Surface by surface
Bathrooms and en suites
Shower trays in new homes often move slightly in the first year. We reseal once the old bead is fully out and baths are filled before sealing.
Show homes
We seal show-home bathrooms, kitchens and frames. We’ll plan around viewing times.
When something else is needed
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
If you are not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Kitchens
- Windows & doors
- Plot handovers

- Skirting & floors
- Show homes
Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you’re covered
- Don’t seal over failed sealant yourself
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Hairline gaps can open as timber and plaster dry and can be resealed later.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak over time.

Why act early in Heogan
Resealing everything on a snagging list in one visit is normally simpler than chasing joints one at a time. You get one visit and one clear quote. In a place like Heogan, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- 4.9 on Google from 180+ five-star reviews

How it works
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The work normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots, depending on the size of the job. Outdoor work around Heogan depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Move anything stored near the joints

New homes and floors in Heogan
Heogan 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. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
Around Heogan, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it. Whether the job is in Heogan itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
