About our new build mastic in Holywood
If your new home has a leaking shower seal, open skirting joints or untidy sealant, we can help. If you are still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, tell them first and if that stalls, we can do it. We work on plot handovers, show homes and windows & doors, and the jobs we see most are sealant that never bonded to the surface and gaps between new skirting and floors.
Around smaller Scottish places like Holywood, new homes tend to be single plots or small developments. Each needs its sealant and floor joints finished as carefully as on a big site.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Holywood as everywhere else we work.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
Ventilation matters in a new home, which is still drying out. Use the extractor fan or open a window after showers.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Small faults turn into leaks if left.

How it works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours in a single home, including the tidy-up. Outside jobs in Holywood need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- Each joint is checked for movement before we start.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Advice
Signs you need new build mastic in Holywood
Sealant applied onto damp surfaces does not bond well. On a busy site, joints are not always given time to dry before the sealant goes on.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
In and around Holywood, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Quotes for new build mastic in Holywood
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The size of the job
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Any working-time requirements on site
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.

- Photos by email, if that is easy
- The address or postcode of the job
- If someone has resealed it before
- Whether it’s a home or a business

Your questions about new build mastic in Holywood
I let a flat near Dumfries station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Is Holywood in your area for new build mastic?
Yes, Holywood is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
That depends on the joint. A leaking shower or bath seal should be redone straight away, while small cosmetic gaps can wait a while.
How long does the job take?
A typical job takes a few hours in a single home, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Different surfaces, different methods
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.
Kitchens
New-kitchen sealant is often applied in a rush. We take it out and reseal neatly, colour-matched where it shows.
Why deal with it now?
For developers, getting the sealant right first time saves return visits. Every return visit for a failed seal takes time. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
What you get with us
- Over 20 years’ experience
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- Colour picked to suit the job
- 180+ five-star Google reviews
