Skirting and floors
New homes often develop a gap between skirting and floor. A flexible sealant closes it without cracking like caulk.
Kitchens
Sink joints are wet all the time. We use a sealant suited to kitchens.
New build mastic in Lumphinnans
Some owners wait for the first year’s movement before having joints redone. That makes sense for small gaps that are just cosmetic, but a failed shower or bath seal shouldn’t wait. Common call-outs are for sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces and cracks appearing as a new home settles, on bathrooms & en suites, plot handovers and windows & doors.
Around smaller Scottish places like Lumphinnans, 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.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

The process
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work normally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Outside jobs in Lumphinnans need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Your questions about new build mastic in Lumphinnans
Is Lumphinnans in your area for new build mastic?
Yes, Lumphinnans is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
I let a flat near Cowdenbeath station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do you work for developers?
Yes. We work through plots to your schedule, room by room. Tell us the plots and the joints involved for a clear quote.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
There are generally two causes: the house moving as it dries, and sealant that never bonded properly. A proper reseal deals with both.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. We always remove the existing bead, then clean and prime the joint, and a new bead applied.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Other services in Lumphinnans
For landlords and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Most silicones need around a day to cure enough for use.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Dealing with it before it goes black saves a harder job later.
What we are called out for in Lumphinnans
A new house holds a lot of water from the build, and it dries out over the first couple of years. As it does, timber shrinks and joints open.
People usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
If you’ve bought a new home near Cowdenbeath station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
What your quote should include
- Whether you can choose the colour
- What the cure time is
- How hidden problems are handled
- Who turns up on the day
What sealant work can’t fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.
