New build mastic in Hill of Beath
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 and if that stalls, we can do it. We work on windows & doors, show homes and kitchens, and people most often call us about joints pulling apart as timber shrinks and new-build shower sealant that has already split.
New homes in smaller Scottish places are often single plots, self-builds or small developments. Each needs its sealant and floor joints finished as carefully as on a big site.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
If you’ve bought a new home near Cowdenbeath station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

What we do, step by step
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours in a single home. Outdoor work around Hill of Beath depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Hill of Beath questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Cowdenbeath station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Is Hill of Beath in your area for new build mastic?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Hill of Beath is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
That depends on the joint. A leaking shower or bath seal should be redone right away, but cosmetic gaps can wait for movement to slow.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
There are normally two causes: the house moving as it dries, and sealant that never bonded properly. Cutting it out and resealing properly fixes both.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Record problems with dated photos
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Small gaps can appear as the house dries.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Early resealing keeps the job small.
