New build mastic in Macduff
Some new-home owners let the house settle before resealing. That makes sense for small gaps that are just cosmetic, but a seal that’s letting water through needs doing now. If you have shower seals failing in the first year or two and kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, so skirting and floor joints can open up. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Aberdeenshire.

What the job involves on each surface
Bathrooms and en suites
Shower trays in new homes often move slightly in the first year. We reseal once the old bead is fully out and baths are filled before sealing.
Windows and doors
On new builds, external frame sealant can be patchy. We reseal it with a weatherproof, flexible sealant.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Macduff
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.

Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
How long will you be here?
A typical job takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, including the preparation. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?

Will you just run a new bead over the existing one?
No. Fresh silicone does not stick to the old layer, so it soon lifts and traps water. We cut the old bead out completely.

What affects the quote in Macduff
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The type of sealant required
- Whether the work is at height
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Why it’s worth doing now in Macduff
If you’re still in the builder’s snagging or warranty period, ask them to put it right first. If it’s slow, or the same joint keeps failing, a proper reseal from a specialist is the next step. In an older home around Macduff, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will talk you through it.

Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
