New build mastic in Kinfauns, done properly
We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders, and snagging reseals for new-home owners. In both, preparation makes the difference since hurried prep is behind a lot of new-build failures. We work on bathrooms & en suites, show homes and plot handovers, and common reasons people get in touch are beads laid onto grit and dust from the build and gaps between new skirting and floors.
For a place like Kinfauns, 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.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.

Surface by surface
Bathrooms and en suites
New-build bathrooms and en suites are where sealant fails most often. The old sealant comes out and anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in after cleaning and priming.
Skirting and floors
New homes often develop a gap between skirting and floor. We seal it with a flexible sealant that copes with the movement.
New build mastic in Kinfauns: local notes
Kinfauns is within about 2 miles of the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so it’s worth checking at snagging. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
For new homes near Perth station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Record problems with dated photos
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Follow the cure time we give you
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Small gaps can appear as the house dries.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Resealing before mould gets in saves a harder job later.
Common problems we fix in Kinfauns
Sealant applied onto damp surfaces does not bond well. On a busy site, joints are not always given time to dry first.
Look out for these signs:
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
In and around Kinfauns, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Your questions about new build mastic in Kinfauns
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Perth station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Is Kinfauns in your area for new build mastic?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Kinfauns is part of that. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?
There are usually two causes: the house moving as it dries, and sealant that never bonded properly. Cutting it out and resealing properly fixes both.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, always. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, wherever you are.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we’re fully insured too.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
It depends on whether water is getting through. A leaking shower or bath seal should be redone straight away, but cosmetic gaps can wait for movement to slow.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
Should I try it myself first?
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.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
The process
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Around Kinfauns, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
