How we handle new build mastic in Luncarty
If your new home has a leaking shower seal, open skirting joints or untidy sealant, we can help. While the builder’s snagging or warranty period runs, report it to them first. We work on skirting & floors, windows & doors and plot handovers, and the jobs we see most are kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall and messy sealant that spoils new finishes.
Work in a place like Luncarty is planned ahead, journey included. Outdoor plot mastic needs dry weather, but indoor floor and skirting joints can be sealed whatever the forecast.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

How we quote for new build mastic
Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether the work is at height
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Any mould that needs treating
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The rough size of the job
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
For new build mastic in Luncarty, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk. A short description of the job and where it is helps us quote, and you’ll get a clear quote before work begins.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Record problems with dated photos
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Most silicones need around a day before water reaches them.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak in a busy bathroom.
Different surfaces, different methods
Bathrooms and en suites
Baths, showers, basins and trays in new bathrooms are the most common new-build reseal. The old sealant comes out and anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in after cleaning and priming.
Skirting and floors
New homes often develop a gap between skirting and floor. A flexible sealant closes it without cracking like caulk.

How the visit works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots from start to finish.

- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Luncarty questions
I let a flat near Perth station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Is Luncarty within the area you cover?
Yes. Luncarty is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, always. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months, large or small.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
Should I wait before resealing?
It depends on whether water is getting through. Failed seals in wet areas need doing now, while small cosmetic gaps can wait a while.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you will get one quote.
Leave it or put it right?
DIY kits do not solve the main problems with new-build sealant: grit, unprimed surfaces and old layers underneath. Cutting out, cleaning and priming are what make the difference. In an older home around Luncarty, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
What you get with us
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas

Signs you need new build mastic in Luncarty
Sealant applied onto damp surfaces does not bond well. On a busy site, joints aren’t always given time to dry.
Look out for any of the following:
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
If you’ve bought a new home near Perth station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
For landlords and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
