New build mastic for homes and businesses in Kintore
A new house keeps drying out and settling for its first couple of years. Timber dries and shrinks, and baths and trays settle, and sealant applied in a hurry at handover can split. Common call-outs are for leaking shower tray seals in a new home and plot mastic for developers ahead of handover, across show homes, kitchens and bathrooms & en suites.
Around smaller Scottish places like Kintore, 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.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Aberdeenshire.

Kintore: your questions answered
I let a flat near Kintore station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Kintore?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
My new home is still under warranty. Should I contact you?
While the snagging or warranty period runs, the builder should be your first contact. If they’re slow or the fix does not last, we can help.
What does new build mastic cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.

What affects the quote in Kintore
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The type of sealant required
- The old material and how stubborn it is
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Where the property is
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is.
Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
Wipe the sealant with warm soapy water. Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off it, which can damage the surface.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Small faults turn into leaks if left in a busy bathroom.
Honest limits
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
If you’re not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.

Different surfaces, different methods
Bathrooms and en suites
En suite showers are a common source of leaks into the room below. Resealing properly keeps water where it belongs.
Plot handovers
Good preparation at handover saves snagging later. We clean out building dust before sealing.
Can I do it myself?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
