- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
New build mastic in Murthly, done properly
We never seal over a failed new-build bead. Fresh silicone cannot bond to the old layer, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. If you have gaps between new skirting and floors and worktop and upstand sealant coming away, we can put it right, on show homes, windows & doors and skirting & floors alike.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, so skirting and floor joints can open up. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re covered after we have gone.

Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
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.
What the job involves on each surface
Bathrooms and en suites
Shower trays in new homes often move slightly in the first year. 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 look at the joints and reseal where needed.
New homes and floors in Murthly
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
In and around Murthly, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What we are called out for in Murthly

Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Sealant work across a run of new homes
If you’ve bought a new home near Dunkeld & Birnam station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Murthly: your questions answered
Do you cover Murthly for new build mastic?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Murthly is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is Murthly within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Should I go to my builder first?
Your builder, if you are still in their snagging or warranty period. After that, or if their repair keeps failing, we can do it and our work is guaranteed for a year.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Do you work through snagging lists?
Yes. Photos of each sealant item help us quote. Items that need a plumber, tiler or the builder are flagged.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
New homes dry out and move in their first couple of years, and sealant is often applied quickly onto dusty surfaces. Both lead to early failure.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
What affects the quote in Murthly
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- If someone has resealed it before
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Photos by email, if that is easy
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that is easier. Describe what needs sealing and we will talk you through the work.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal

- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
