About our new build mastic in Maryburgh
New homes move as they dry out. Timber dries and shrinks, and baths and trays settle, and sealant applied in a hurry at handover can split. If you have new-build shower sealant that has already split and messy sealant that spoils new finishes, we can put it right, on kitchens, skirting & floors and show homes alike.
New homes in smaller Scottish places are often single plots, self-builds or small developments. They need their sealant and floor joints finished just as carefully as on a big site.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

New homes and floors in Maryburgh
Maryburgh is within about 1 mile of the coast. Plot mastic on new homes near the coast takes more weather than it would inland, so it’s worth checking at snagging. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
Around Maryburgh, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Signs you need new build mastic in Maryburgh
Not every new-build joint gets the right sealant: caulk where water collects, or a rigid product on a moving joint. Both fail early.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
If you’ve bought a new home near Conon Bridge station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you’re covered
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
Don’t stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray while the sealant cures. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant and the new finishes intact.
Why it’s worth doing now in Maryburgh
The builder is usually the first port of call while the snagging or warranty period runs. If it’s slow, or the same joint keeps failing, a proper reseal from a specialist is the next step. Around Maryburgh, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

How the visit works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we’re working on. The job normally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Outside jobs in Maryburgh 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 look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
How to prepare
- Mention any tricky access
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Common questions in Maryburgh
Do you cover smaller places like Maryburgh?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Conon Bridge station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. We always remove the existing bead, the joint cleaned and primed where needed, before resealing.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
It depends on whether water is getting through. Failed seals in wet areas need doing now, while small cosmetic gaps can wait a while.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is Crawley. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Should I go to my builder first?
Start with your builder while their snagging or warranty period runs. If that does not work out, we’re happy to quote with our 12-month guarantee.
Do you take on second-fix sealing for builders?
Yes. We take on second-fix sealant work across new plots. We clean and prime joints properly to keep callbacks down.
