New build mastic in Marybank
In a new home, every joint should have a clean, even bead. Smeared, patchy or cracked sealant is worth sorting early, before water gets into the floor or walls. We work on skirting & floors, bathrooms & en suites and plot handovers, and the jobs we see most are sealant work across a run of new homes and cracked sealant around new window and door frames.
For a place like Marybank, the journey and access are planned in advance. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

New build mastic around Marybank
The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for plot mastic and the sealant in new homes to keep out. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
If you’ve bought a new home near Muir of Ord station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two. Around Marybank, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Marybank is about 13 miles north-west of Inverness, in Highland. Homes, rented property, offices and hotels in Marybank can book us for new build mastic, old or new, large or small. Every job comes with our one-year guarantee. Marybank is one of 253 towns and villages in Highland we cover.

Why it’s worth doing now in Marybank
Water getting past a failed seal in a new build reaches walls and floors that are still settling. Resealing promptly protects the new finishes around it. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.
Why Marybank clients choose us
- Fully insured
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It helps if anything else comes up during the warranty period.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
Surface by surface
Plot handovers
Plot mastic is carried out to the developer’s schedule. Each joint is cleaned and primed where needed so the sealant lasts.
Kitchens
Beside the sink, the joint takes water every day. A kitchen sealant goes in there suited to the job.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
If you are not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What else we do in Marybank
For landlords and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured for the work.
DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The process
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can get on with your day. The job normally takes a few hours in a single home, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Outside jobs in Marybank need a dry day, because sealant will not 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 start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out down to clean surfaces.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Who should fix failed sealant in a new build?
Start with your builder while their snagging or warranty period runs. If that does not work out, we’re happy to quote and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Do you use white or clear sealant?
That depends on what the joint meets: white or clear in most bathrooms, and a colour to suit worktops, frames and floors elsewhere. We agree the colour before work begins.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
