How the job changes by surface
Skirting and floors
New homes often develop a gap between skirting and floor. A flexible sealant closes it without cracking like caulk.
Show homes
Show homes need sealant that looks right from day one. Every bead is neat and coloured to suit the room.
New build mastic in Kinross
Some new-home owners let the house settle before resealing. For small cosmetic gaps, that is reasonable, but a failed shower or bath seal shouldn’t wait. If you have frame joints opening as the plaster dries and smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging, we can put it right, on bathrooms & en suites, kitchens and skirting & floors alike.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, so skirting and floor joints can open up. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we have gone.

What sealant work cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.

DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
If you manage several properties in or around Kinross, jobs at different addresses can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
New build mastic around Kinross
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
Whether the job is in Kinross itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

How we quote for new build mastic
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The number of rooms or windows
- Mould in or behind the old joints
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
What we need to know
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- If someone has resealed it before
- Where the property is
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we will talk you through the work and give you a clear quote.
What we do, step by step
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours in a single home. Outside jobs in Kinross need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.
- Each joint is checked for movement before we start.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Clear the area around the work

Signs you need new build mastic in Kinross
The wrong product is sometimes used in the wrong place: caulk where water collects, or a rigid product on a moving joint. Both fail early.
The most common problems we see are:
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
Around Kinross, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Common questions in Kinross
Do you cover Kinross for new build mastic?
Yes, Kinross is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Is there a guarantee on new build mastic in Kinross?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?
Cracking in the first couple of years is common as timber and plaster dry out. Rushed application on dusty surfaces makes it worse.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. More than one area can be quoted together.
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, while small cosmetic gaps can wait a while.
Do you use white or clear sealant?
Most bathroom joints are white or clear, but sealant comes in other colours too. We choose one to suit the room before we begin.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.
