New build mastic for homes and businesses in Overtown
If your new home has a leaking shower seal, open skirting joints or untidy sealant, we can help. While the builder’s snagging or warranty period runs, report it to them first. We work on show homes, bathrooms & en suites and kitchens, and people most often call us about joints pulling apart as timber shrinks and sealant work across a run of new homes.
Around smaller Scottish places like Overtown, 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.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Common problems we fix in Overtown
Sealant is often one of the last jobs before handover. Joints aren’t always cleaned of dust or primed, and the sealant sits on grit instead of the surface.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
Around Overtown, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Other services in Overtown
What the job involves on each surface
Bathrooms and en suites
En suite seals are easy to miss on a snagging list until they leak. Resealing properly keeps water where it belongs.
Plot handovers
We work through plots to your schedule, sealing each room ready for handover. Each joint is cleaned and primed where needed to keep callbacks down.
DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Questions from Overtown
Do you work for landlords with property near Wishaw station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is Overtown within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. Sealing over old sealant looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts. All the old sealant comes out before any work starts.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.
Why has my new-build shower seal failed already?
There are usually two causes: movement as the house dries and settles, and sealant laid onto dust without primer. A proper reseal deals with both.
Can you work from my snagging list?
Yes. Photos of each sealant item help us quote. If something is not sealant, we’ll say so.
My new home is still under warranty. Should I contact you?
Your builder, if you’re still in their snagging or warranty period. If that doesn’t work out, we’re happy to quote and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.

Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Get a leaking seal dealt with straight away
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It helps if anything else comes up during the warranty period.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Resealing before mould gets in keeps the job straightforward.
The process
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots for a typical job. For a place like Overtown, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
