About our new build mastic in Pitlessie
A new house keeps drying out and settling for its first couple of years. Timber dries and shrinks, and baths and trays settle, and sealant applied in a hurry at handover can split. We work on kitchens, bathrooms & en suites and skirting & floors, and common reasons people get in touch are internal frame sealant that has split and untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list.
For a place like Pitlessie, the journey and access are planned in advance. Inside work goes ahead in any weather; outside mastic needs a dry day.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Keep water off fresh sealant until it has cured
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Most silicones need around a day.
Early snagging is easier snagging. Small faults turn into leaks if left.

How the job changes by surface
Skirting and floors
Where the floor meets a bath panel or kitchen plinth, the joint keeps mop water out. We seal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.
Bathrooms and en suites
Trays and baths in new builds settle as they’re used. The joint is stripped back before the new bead goes in and baths are filled before sealing.
When it is not the sealant
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
If you’re not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.

How long does new build mastic take?
Most jobs take a few hours in a single home, including preparation and clearing up. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is Crawley. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, always. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Why deal with it now?
The builder is normally the first port of call while the snagging or warranty period runs. If it’s slow, or the same joint keeps failing, a proper reseal from a specialist is the next step. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.
