- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
Leave it or put it right?
A quick bead over the top of the old sealant can look fine at first, but it won’t bond to the old layer. Taking it all out and starting again is the only way to get a lasting seal. In a tenement flat in Port Dundas, a failed seal is rarely just your problem: water can reach the flat below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-stopping affect the whole stair.
There are no prices on our 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’ll talk you through it.

New homes and floors in Port Dundas
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for plot mastic and the sealant in new homes to keep out.

FAQs for Port Dundas
Is new build mastic in Port Dundas guaranteed?
All our work, in Port Dundas and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you work for landlords with property near Glasgow Queen Street station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
How long will you be here?
That depends on the amount of work, but most jobs take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. The old sealant is cut out fully, then clean and prime the joint, and a new bead applied.
Different surfaces, different methods
Skirting and floors
Wet-area floor joints need a flexible seal. We seal them with a sealant suited to wet areas.
Show homes
Bathrooms, kitchens and frames in show homes are sealed or resealed to a neat finish. Tell us when the home is open so we can plan around it.
Landlord and commercial work in Port Dundas
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
Do you need new build mastic in Port Dundas?
Sealant is often one of the last jobs before handover. Dusty, unprimed joints are common, so the bead never bonds properly.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Internal frame sealant that has split
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
If you’ve bought a new home near Glasgow Queen Street station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
Before you book anyone
- How much experience the applicator has
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Is VAT in the price?
How we quote for new build mastic

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
Follow the cure time we give you before the area gets wet. Most silicones need around a day to cure enough for use.
Lifting sealant traps moisture and mould behind it. Resealing before mould gets in keeps the job straightforward.
How it works
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on, so you can carry on as normal. The job generally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, and we explain the cure time before we leave. In a Scottish city, a lot of jobs are in tenement flats, up a common stair from a shared close. In Port Dundas, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
- We start by going through the snagging items or plot schedule with you.
- The failed sealant is removed completely down to clean surfaces.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- We prime where needed and apply a sealant suited to each joint.
- Each bead is tooled and the cure times explained.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the work
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
