- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
New build mastic in Kingoodie, done properly
Developers send us the plot schedule and we work through it. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, windows, doors and skirting so plots are ready to hand over using the right product for each joint. If you have sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces and cracked sealant around new window and door frames, we can help, whatever the surface.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, which shows as gaps at skirtings and floor joints. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Joints and finishes in Kingoodie homes
Kingoodie 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. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
If you’ve bought a new home near Invergowrie station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
Don’t stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak.
What sealant work cannot fix
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before any work starts. It won’t solve:
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
- Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

How the job changes by surface
Plot handovers
Developers can send the plot schedule and specification. Sealant work across the plot is covered to the agreed spec.
Bathrooms and en suites
Baths, showers, basins and trays in new bathrooms are the most common new-build reseal. The old sealant comes out and anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in after cleaning and priming.
Questions from Kingoodie
Will you come out to Kingoodie?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you do new build mastic in Kingoodie?
Yes, Kingoodie is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Where do you work from?
We are a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
How long should I leave it?
Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. More than one area can be quoted together.
My new home is still under warranty. Should I contact you?
Report it to the builder first while you’re covered. If it is not resolved, we will cut it out and reseal it.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
How it works
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Outside jobs in Kingoodie need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- Each joint is checked for movement before work begins.
- 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.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
Before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Advice
Common problems we fix in Kingoodie
Baths and trays settle under load once the home is lived in. If a bath wasn’t filled when it was sealed, the bead is stretched the first time it’s used.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
In and around Kingoodie, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
