Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
New build mastic in Southpark Village
We never seal over a failed new-build bead. Fresh silicone can’t bond to the old layer, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. We work on bathrooms & en suites, kitchens and plot handovers, and people most often call us about sealant that never bonded to the surface and leaking shower tray seals in a new home.
Scotland’s cities are still adding new flats and houses, and in new homes, sealant and floor joints are often among the first snags, in Southpark Village as anywhere.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

What happens on the day
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. It usually takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. In a city area like Southpark Village, parking may be by permit or pay-and-display, so tell us what’s nearby. For flats, mention the door entry system and any shared-stair arrangements.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- Finally, each room is checked and you are given the cure time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Do not seal over failed sealant yourself
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
Do not stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray in the first few weeks. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.

Southpark Village questions
What guarantee comes with new build mastic in Southpark Village?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you do new build mastic in Southpark Village?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Southpark Village is part of that. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Should I go to my builder first?
Start with the builder if you are in the snagging or warranty period. If it isn’t resolved, we can reseal it properly.
What does new build mastic cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You will get a clear quote before work begins.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will explain our choice.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Can you work from my snagging list?
Yes. Photos of each sealant item help us quote. If something isn’t sealant, we will say so.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.

- Cracked trays, tiles or worktops
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder

What we’re called out for in Southpark Village
The wrong product is sometimes used in the wrong place: caulk where water collects, or a rigid product on a moving joint. Neither lasts long.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
If you’ve bought a new home near Priesthill & Darnley station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.
What your quote should include
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- How long to leave it before use
What happens if it’s left?
Small cosmetic gaps can wait for the house to settle, but water getting through cannot. Not sure whether yours can wait? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few pictures. In a Scottish city tenement, failed sealant affects more than one flat: water can reach the flat below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-stopping affect the whole stair.
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. You’ll know the price before we begin.

- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme

- Colour agreed with you before any work starts

What new build mastic looks like in Southpark Village
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. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
Around Southpark Village, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
