- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
- Cracking that points to a structural problem

New build mastic in New Lanark, done properly
Snagging sealant properly means taking the failed bead out completely. Fresh silicone cannot bond to the old layer, so it all comes out before we clean, dry and reseal. Common call-outs are for sealant work across a run of new homes and joints pulling apart as timber shrinks, across plot handovers, bathrooms & en suites and show homes.
Work in a place like New Lanark is planned ahead, journey included. Outdoor plot mastic needs dry weather, but indoor floor and skirting joints can be sealed whatever the forecast.
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in South Lanarkshire.

Why it’s worth doing now in New Lanark
Sealant done properly at handover means fewer callbacks. Every return visit for a failed seal takes time. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will talk you through it.

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can go on one quote.
Surface by surface
Windows and doors
On new builds, external frame sealant can be patchy. We reseal it with a weatherproof, flexible sealant.
Kitchens
As a new house dries, worktops and walls shift a little, opening gaps behind the upstand. A fresh flexible bead closes them.
Do you need new build mastic in New Lanark?
The wrong product is sometimes used in the wrong place: caulk where water collects, or a rigid product on a moving joint. Both fail early.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
Around New Lanark, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Advice
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not seal over failed sealant yourself
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. 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.
Joints and finishes in New Lanark homes
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
If you’ve bought a new home near Lanark station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
