DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
New build mastic in Smithstone
Some new-home owners let the house settle before resealing. For small cosmetic gaps, that is reasonable, but a failed shower or bath seal shouldn’t wait. If you have shower seals failing in the first year or two and sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces, we can put it right, on plot handovers, kitchens and bathrooms & en suites alike.
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 guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Surface by surface
Skirting and floors
New homes often develop a gap between skirting and floor. A flexible sealant closes it without cracking like caulk.
Show homes
Bathrooms, kitchens and frames in show homes are sealed or resealed to a neat finish to a tidy standard. Tell us when the home is open so we can plan around it.

The process
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours in a single home. For a place like Smithstone, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The failed sealant is removed completely.
- 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
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Why it’s worth doing now in Smithstone
A hairline gap at a skirting can wait, but water getting through can’t. Not sure whether yours can wait? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few pictures. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

New build mastic in Smithstone: local notes
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. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
For new homes near Croy station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

Smithstone questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Croy station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Smithstone?
Yes. Smithstone is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you work from my snagging list?
Yes. Photos of each sealant item help us quote. Items that need a plumber, tiler or the builder are flagged.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
Lots of new homes see sealant crack early, because the house is drying and settling. Rushed application on dusty surfaces makes it worse.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
Should I go to my builder first?
If you are still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, report it to them first. If they’re slow or the fix does not last, we can help.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. The old sealant is cut out fully, the joint cleaned and primed where needed, and a new bead applied.
What information do you need?
Let us know what needs doing and where, with photos by email if possible. If we need more, we’ll ask.
When to call us in Smithstone
Sealant is often one of the last jobs before handover. Joints are not always cleaned of dust or primed, so the bead never bonds properly.
The most common problems we see are:
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
Around Smithstone, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
