- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.

New build mastic in Kinlochmore
A new house keeps drying out and settling for its first couple of years. Timber shrinks, plaster dries and baths and trays bed down, so sealant that was laid quickly before handover often cracks. If you have skirting joints opening in the first winter and cracked sealant around new window and door frames, we can put it right, on plot handovers, show homes and bathrooms & en suites alike.
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.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What we’re called out for in Kinlochmore
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 most common problems we see are:
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
Whether the job is in Kinlochmore itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
Before booking anyone
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What preparation is included
- Are they insured?
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
If you’re not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What the job involves on each surface
Show homes
Show homes need sealant that looks right from day one. Every bead is neat and coloured to suit the room.
Skirting and floors
Where the floor meets a bath panel or kitchen plinth, the joint keeps mop water out. We seal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Do not seal over failed sealant yourself
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- 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.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Resealing before mould gets in saves a harder job later.
Questions from Kinlochmore
Is Kinlochmore in your area for new build mastic?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Kinlochmore is part of that. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
What guarantee comes with new build mastic in Kinlochmore?
All our work, in Kinlochmore and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Can you work from my snagging list?
Yes. Send us the sealant items on the list, with photos if you can and we will give you a quote. We will flag anything that needs another trade.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Who should fix failed sealant in a new build?
Report it to the builder first while you’re covered. Once that’s done, or if they won’t put it right, we will cut it out and reseal it.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
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.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
