New build mastic in Mill of Fintray
Failed shower seals, gaps along the skirting and messy beads are common items on a new-home snagging list. While the builder’s snagging or warranty period runs, report it to them first, and if it isn’t put right, get in touch with us. Typical jobs include messy sealant that spoils new finishes and skirting joints opening in the first winter, on show homes, plot handovers and kitchens.
Around smaller Scottish places like Mill of Fintray, 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.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

FAQs for Mill of Fintray
Do you work for landlords with property near Kintore station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Mill of Fintray?
Yes, Mill of Fintray is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
Any seal that is leaking should be redone straight away. For small cosmetic gaps, waiting until the house has settled can save doing them twice.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we will put it right.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what we’re using.
My new home is still under warranty. Should I contact you?
Start with the builder if you are in the snagging or warranty period. If it is not resolved, we will cut it out and reseal it.
DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
What we do, step by step
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours in a single home, and the area is left clean. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Why deal with it now?
DIY kits do not solve the main problems with new-build sealant: grit, unprimed surfaces and old layers underneath. Proper removal and preparation are what make it last. Around Mill of Fintray, 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.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.

What new build mastic looks like in Mill of Fintray

Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
Keep photos of the joints and any snagging correspondence with your builder. 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. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
