Why deal with it now?
A tube of sealant from the DIY shop will not fix the cause: grit, unprimed surfaces and old layers underneath. Proper removal and preparation are what make it last. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, 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. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

New build mastic in Maryton
A new house keeps drying out and settling for its first couple of years. Timber shrinks, plaster dries and baths and trays bed down, and sealant applied in a hurry at handover can split. We work on skirting & floors, kitchens and bathrooms & en suites, and people most often call us about worktop and upstand sealant coming away and untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list.
Around smaller Scottish places like Maryton, new homes tend to be single plots or small developments. Each needs its sealant and floor joints finished as carefully as on a big site.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Questions from Maryton
Is there a guarantee on new build mastic in Maryton?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you cover Maryton for new build mastic?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Maryton is part of that. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location. If we need more, we will ask.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Can I send you my snagging list?
Yes. We often work straight from a snagging list. We agree the sealant items with you before any work starts.
Surface by surface
Bathrooms and en suites
Trays and baths in new builds settle as they’re used. The joint is stripped back before the new bead goes in with baths filled first.
Windows and doors
A draught at a new window can be a missed or failed joint. We check and reseal the frame edges.
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
Keep pictures of the joints and any snagging correspondence with your builder. It helps if anything else comes up during the warranty period.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Resealing before mould gets in keeps the job straightforward.
The process
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before work begins. Most jobs take a few hours in a single home. Outside jobs in Maryton need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- 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.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
How to prepare
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Clear the area around the work

Common problems we fix in Maryton
Baths and trays settle under load once the home is lived in. If a bath wasn’t filled when it was sealed, the bead is stretched the first time it’s used and can tear.
People usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
Around Maryton, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
