How it works
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Outdoor work around Milltimber depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- Each joint is checked for movement before work begins.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a quote
Getting a quote is simple: let us know what needs doing and where and its rough size. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll take it from there.
Related advice
New build mastic in Milltimber, done properly
Snagging sealant properly means taking the failed bead out completely. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. If you have kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall and shower seals failing in the first year or two, we can help.
Around smaller Scottish places like Milltimber, 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.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Milltimber as everywhere else we work.

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
Don’t stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray while the sealant cures. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
A seal that splits early is often a sign of movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
How we quote for new build mastic
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How many areas need sealing
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Any mould that needs treating
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The type of property
- The address or postcode of the job

Different surfaces, different methods
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.
Skirting and floors
As timber and screed dry, skirting and floors shift. Caulk cracks; a flexible sealant moves with it.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords and letting agents in Milltimber can book us as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Should I try it myself first?
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, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
What we’re called out for in Milltimber
Once people move in, baths and trays take weight and bed down. If a bath wasn’t filled when it was sealed, the bead is stretched the first time it’s used.
Look out for any of the following:
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
For jobs in and around Milltimber, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
