New build mastic in Kingennie, done properly
New homes move as they dry out. Timber dries and shrinks, and baths and trays settle, so sealant that was laid quickly before handover often cracks. If you have shower seals failing in the first year or two and cracked sealant around new window and door frames, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Work in a place like Kingennie is planned ahead, journey included. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Why it’s worth doing now in Kingennie
A hairline gap at a skirting can wait, but water getting through cannot. Not sure whether yours can wait? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few pictures and we will give you a straight answer. Around Kingennie, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first.

Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
Wipe the sealant with warm soapy water. Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off it.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
Kingennie questions
Will you come out to Kingennie?
Yes, Kingennie is covered. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you work for landlords with property near Monifieth station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Who should fix failed sealant in a new build?
Start with your builder while their snagging or warranty period runs. If that doesn’t work out, we’re happy to quote with our 12-month guarantee.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
For failed seals that let water through, the best time is now. Cosmetic gaps can wait until the first year or two of movement has passed.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses, and we’re fully insured.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. The old sealant is cut out fully, then clean and prime the joint, and a new bead applied.
Can you do plot mastic on a new development?
Yes. We work through plots to your schedule, room by room. Tell us the plots and the joints involved for a clear quote.
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out down to clean surfaces.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- 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
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

What else we do in Kingennie
Different surfaces, different methods
Windows and doors
A draught at a new window can be a missed or failed joint. We check and reseal the frame edges.
Plot handovers
Send us the schedule and any sealant specification for a quote. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, frames and floors as agreed.
Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Honest limits
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Signs you need new build mastic in Kingennie
New homes are full of moisture from plaster, screed and concrete, and it dries out over the first couple of years. As it does, timber shrinks and joints open, and sealant that can’t keep up splits.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
If you’ve bought a new home near Monifieth station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
