New build mastic in Kinrossie
New homes move as they dry out. Timber shrinks, plaster dries and baths and trays bed down, and sealant applied in a hurry at handover can split. We work on bathrooms & en suites, windows & doors and plot handovers, and people most often call us about internal frame sealant that has split and joints pulling apart as timber shrinks.
Around smaller Scottish places like Kinrossie, new homes tend to be single plots or small developments. Each needs its sealant and floor joints finished as carefully as on a big site.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

What happens on the day
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The visit itself normally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere like Kinrossie may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- Each joint is checked for movement before we start.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
How to prepare
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Signs you need new build mastic in Kinrossie
Sealant applied onto damp surfaces doesn’t bond well. Site programmes do not always leave time for joints to dry first.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
Whether the job is in Kinrossie itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
Questions to ask before you book
- What product goes in the joint
- What happens if the job turns out different
- What the cure time is
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
Surface by surface
Skirting and floors
Gaps under skirting are one of the most common new-build snags. We seal it with a flexible sealant that copes with the movement.
Kitchens
Worktops in new homes can move slightly as the house dries, opening gaps behind the upstand. We reseal them with a flexible sealant.
Common questions in Kinrossie
Do you cover Kinrossie for new build mastic?
Yes, Kinrossie is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is new build mastic in Kinrossie guaranteed?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Should I go to my builder first?
Start with the builder if you are in the snagging or warranty period. If it is not resolved, we’ll cut it out and reseal it.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
Where water is getting through, do not wait. Small gaps that are just cosmetic can be resealed once movement has slowed.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.

Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
Avoid standing on the rim of the bath or the edge of the tray in the first few weeks. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
What affects the cost of new build mastic
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The number and length of the joints
- When we can work, for business premises
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Where the property is
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know what needs doing and where. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.
What happens if it’s left?
A quick bead over the top of the old sealant can look fine at first, but it won’t bond to the old layer. Taking it all out and starting again is the only way to get a lasting seal. In a place like Kinrossie, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
