New build mastic for homes and businesses in Reraig
Failed shower seals, gaps along the skirting and messy beads are common items on a new-home snagging list. If you are still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, tell them first and if that stalls, we can do it. If you are dealing with internal frame sealant that has split and sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces, we can help.
Work in a place like Reraig is planned ahead, journey included. Outdoor plot mastic needs dry weather, but indoor floor and skirting joints can be sealed whatever the forecast.
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Highland.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you’re covered
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Record problems with dated photos
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It’s useful if you need to raise other issues later.
Mould takes hold quickly in sealant that has gaps or lifted edges. Resealing before mould gets in saves a harder job later.
Signs you need new build mastic in Reraig
On many sites, sealant goes on in the final rush before handover. Dusty, unprimed joints are common, and the sealant sits on grit instead of the surface.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
Around Reraig, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Reraig: your questions answered
Is Reraig within the area you cover?
Yes. Reraig is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you do new build mastic in Reraig?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Reraig is part of that. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. As well as homeowners, we work for landlords, agents, businesses and hotels.
How long does the job take?
That depends on the amount of work, but most jobs take a few hours in a single home. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Should I wait before resealing?
It depends on whether water is getting through. A leaking shower or bath seal should be redone right away, but cosmetic gaps can wait for movement to slow.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you work from my snagging list?
Yes. Send the list and a few photos of the sealant items and we will give you a quote. We’ll tell you if anything on it isn’t a sealant job.
What happens on the day
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The visit itself normally takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, depending on the amount of work. Outside jobs in Reraig need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
Before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

New homes and floors in Reraig
Reraig is within about 1 mile of the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so any gaps are best picked up early. The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, which means plot mastic and the sealant in new homes has to cope with a lot of rain.
If you’ve bought a new home near Kyle of Lochalsh station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Different surfaces, different methods
Show homes
Bathrooms, kitchens and frames in show homes are sealed or resealed to a neat finish ready for viewings. We’ll plan around viewing times.
Bathrooms and en suites
Trays and baths in new builds settle as they’re used. We reseal once the old bead is fully out.
Why deal with it now?
Water getting past a failed seal in a new build reaches walls and floors that are still settling. Dealing with it early keeps the damage away from ceilings, floors and finishes. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
