About our new build mastic in Peterculter
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. We work on bathrooms & en suites, skirting & floors and kitchens, and the jobs we see most are internal frame sealant that has split and beads laid onto grit and dust from the build.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, so skirting and floor joints can open up. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

New build mastic in Peterculter: local notes

In and around Peterculter, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. For jobs in and around Peterculter, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

Why deal with it now?
A failed shower or bath seal in a new home lets water into floors and walls that are still drying out. Resealing promptly protects the new finishes around it. In a place like Peterculter, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.

What the job involves on each surface
Skirting and floors
New homes often develop a gap between skirting and floor. We seal it with a flexible sealant that copes with the movement.
Bathrooms and en suites
Baths, showers, basins and trays in new bathrooms are the most common new-build reseal. We cut out the failed bead, clean and prime, and reseal with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we seal
- Bathrooms & en suites
- Kitchens
- Windows & doors
- Skirting & floors
- Show homes
- Plot handovers
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you’re covered
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
Watch the joints as the house settles. Hairline gaps can open as timber and plaster dry, and they’re simple to reseal once movement has slowed.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Resealing before mould gets in saves a harder job later.
DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
