Lochmaben: your questions answered
Is Lochmaben within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you cover Lochmaben for new build mastic?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Lochmaben is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we are fully insured too.
Do you work through snagging lists?
Yes. Send us the sealant items on the list, with photos if you can. We’ll tell you if anything on it is not a sealant job.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. Fresh silicone does not stick to the old layer, so it soon lifts and traps water. The old sealant always comes out first.
Should I go to my builder first?
If you are still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, report it to them first. If they’re slow or the fix doesn’t last, we can help.
Why act early in Lochmaben
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. Around Lochmaben, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.

What the job involves on each surface
Show homes
We can refresh show-home sealant that has discoloured or been knocked. We cut it out and reseal neatly.
Bathrooms and en suites
New-build bathrooms and en suites are where sealant fails most often. We cut out the failed bead, clean and prime, and reseal with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
Avoid standing on the rim of the bath or the edge of the tray in the first few weeks. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Dealing with it before it goes black keeps the job straightforward.
