About our new build mastic in Marykirk
Some owners wait for the first year’s movement before having joints redone. For small cosmetic gaps, that is reasonable, but a failed shower or bath seal shouldn’t wait. If you’re dealing with cracked sealant around new window and door frames and untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Around smaller Scottish places like Marykirk, new homes tend to be single plots or small developments. They need their sealant and floor joints finished just as carefully as on a big site.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

What we do, step by step
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots, depending on the size of the job. Outside jobs in Marykirk need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Your questions about new build mastic in Marykirk
Can you do new build mastic in Marykirk?
Yes, Marykirk is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Do you cover smaller places like Marykirk?
Yes, Marykirk is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Who should fix failed sealant in a new build?
Report it to the builder first while you’re covered. If it is not resolved, we’ll cut it out and reseal it.
Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?
White and clear are the most common, but other colours are available. We choose one to suit the room.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
New homes dry out and move in their first couple of years, and sealant is often rushed onto dusty, unprimed surfaces. Both lead to early failure.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for householders, landlords, letting agents, businesses and hotels.
How long does new build mastic take?
Typically it takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Bigger jobs take longer.
What we are called out for in Marykirk
Baths and trays settle under load once the home is lived in. A bath sealed empty drops slightly when filled, straining the joint and the sealant may split.
Look out for any of the following:
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
In and around Marykirk, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off it as they wear the bead.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
How the job changes by surface
Kitchens
Worktop, upstand and sink joints in new kitchens often get a hurried bead. We take it out and reseal neatly, colour-matched where it shows.
Windows and doors
On new builds, external frame sealant can be patchy. We reseal it with a weatherproof, flexible sealant.
