How we handle new build mastic in Oakbank
Some new-home owners let the house settle before resealing. That makes sense for small gaps that are just cosmetic, but a failed shower or bath seal shouldn’t wait. If you have worktop and upstand sealant coming away and beads laid onto grit and dust from the build, we can put it right, on bathrooms & en suites, windows & doors and show homes alike.
New homes in smaller Scottish places are often single plots, self-builds or small developments. Each needs its sealant and floor joints finished as carefully as on a big site.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

What sealant work can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
- Broken tiles or a split tray
- A tray or bath that is not properly supported, until it’s fixed

Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.

What happens if it’s left?
It often makes sense to do all the sealant items on a snagging list together. It’s one visit, one quote and one set of cure times to plan around. Around Oakbank, 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.

How it works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take a few hours in a single home. Outdoor work around Oakbank 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.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any tricky access

Signs you need new build mastic in Oakbank
When the heating goes on in the first winter, the house dries fast. Skirting, frames and worktops pull away slightly.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
For new homes near Perth station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Your questions about new build mastic in Oakbank
I let a flat near Perth station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is Oakbank in your area for new build mastic?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Oakbank is part of that. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
How long should I leave it?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We will tell you how long to leave the joint.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. We always remove the existing bead, the joint cleaned and primed where needed, and a new bead applied.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
What does new build mastic cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts.
Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?
We use white, clear or a colour to suit the finishes. Tell us what you’d like when you get a quote.
Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
