- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
When to call us in Kinlochard
The wrong product is sometimes used in the wrong place: decorators’ caulk in a wet area, or a stiff sealant where there’s movement. Both fail early.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
Whether the job is in Kinlochard itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

New build mastic in Kinlochard
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 seal that is letting water through needs doing now. If you’re dealing with joints pulling apart as timber shrinks and sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces, we can help, whatever the surface.
Around smaller Scottish places like Kinlochard, 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.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

The process
On the day, we look over the joints with you first. Surfaces next to the work are protected before work begins. The work generally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. For a place like Kinlochard, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- Finally, each room is checked and you’re given the cure time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Advice
DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into 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.
Leave it or put it right?
A failed shower or bath seal in a new home lets water into floors and walls that are still drying out. Resealing promptly protects the new finishes around it. In an older home around Kinlochard, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
What you get with us

- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild

How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.
Do not let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. After that, putting it right may fall to you so report it promptly.
