What does new build mastic cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You’ll get a clear quote before we start.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
How we handle new build mastic in Inverkip
Some owners wait for the first year’s movement before having joints redone. That makes sense for small gaps that are just cosmetic, but a failed shower or bath seal shouldn’t wait. We work on plot handovers, windows & doors and show homes, and the jobs we see most are sealant that never bonded to the surface and internal frame sealant that has split.
For a place like Inverkip, the journey and access are planned in advance. Outdoor plot mastic needs dry weather, but indoor floor and skirting joints can be sealed whatever the forecast.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Inverkip as everywhere else we work.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What we do, step by step
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours in a single home. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- The failed sealant is removed completely down to clean surfaces.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Mention any parking rules near the property
Getting a quote
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email pictures if that’s easy.

New build mastic in Inverkip: local notes
Inverkip is close to the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so any gaps are best picked up early. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
If you’ve bought a new home near Inverkip station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two. In and around Inverkip, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Why it’s worth doing now in Inverkip
Running a new bead over the builder’s sealant might look tidy for a few weeks, but it won’t bond to the old layer. Taking it all out and starting again is the only way to get a lasting seal. In an older home around Inverkip, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear price before we start.
What you get with us
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
- Every job guaranteed for a year
- You choose the colour before work begins
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
Read our cost guide or our reviews.
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Most silicones need around a day to cure enough for use.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you’re in the snagging period. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you.
