About our new build mastic in Inchmarlo
A new build should have a neat, sound bead at every joint. Smeared, patchy or cracked sealant is worth sorting early, before water reaches anything behind it. We work on bathrooms & en suites, windows & doors and skirting & floors, and people most often call us about worktop and upstand sealant coming away and smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging.
Around smaller Scottish places like Inchmarlo, new homes tend to be single plots or small developments. They need their sealant and floor joints finished just as carefully as on a big site.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

The process
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots in most cases. Somewhere like Inchmarlo may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Tell us about any water getting in

Leave it or put it right?
Running a new bead over the builder’s sealant might look tidy for a few weeks, but it cannot bond to what’s underneath. Taking it all out and starting again is the only way to get a lasting seal. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

When to call us in Inchmarlo
Baths and trays settle under load once the home is lived in. A bath sealed empty drops slightly when filled, straining the joint and the sealant may split.
People usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
For jobs in and around Inchmarlo, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
