The process
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours in a single home. Somewhere like Morningside may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out.
- We clean out the dust and grit left from the build.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Advice
New build mastic for homes and businesses in Morningside
A new build should have a neat, sound bead at every joint. Smeared, patchy or cracked sealant is worth sorting early, before water reaches anything behind it. If you have gaps opening as the house dries out and settles and cracked sealant around new window and door frames, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
New homes in smaller Scottish places are often single plots, self-builds or small developments. They need their sealant and floor joints finished just as carefully as on a big site.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Most silicones need around a day.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.

What the job involves on each surface
Show homes
Bathrooms, kitchens and frames in show homes are sealed or resealed to a neat finish to a tidy standard. We’ll plan around viewing times.
Bathrooms and en suites
En suite seals are easy to miss on a snagging list until they leak. A proper reseal keeps water in the tray.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
When to call us in Morningside
Baths and trays settle under load once the home is lived in. A bath sealed empty drops slightly when filled, straining the joint.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
In and around Morningside, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
