Common problems we fix in Marywell
If plaster or screed was still damp when it was sealed, the bond suffers. On a busy site, joints are not always given time to dry first.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
For new homes near Portlethen station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

New build mastic in Marywell, done properly
A new house keeps drying out and settling for its first couple of years. Timber dries and shrinks, and baths and trays settle, and sealant applied in a hurry at handover can split. We work on skirting & floors, windows & doors and show homes, and people most often call us about untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list and gaps behind new kitchen upstands.
For a place like Marywell, the journey and access are planned in advance. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Record problems with dated photos
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Get a leaking seal dealt with right away
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Most silicones need around a day to cure enough for use.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak in a busy bathroom.

What information do you need?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
How long should I leave it?
It depends on the product and the conditions. Before we leave, we will tell you the cure time.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we’re fully insured.
Why act early in Marywell
A quick bead over the top of the old sealant can look fine at first, but it won’t bond to the old layer. A lasting seal starts with removing the old one completely. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
Why Marywell customers choose us
- Colour picked to suit the job
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
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 does not work out, we can still put it right.
