What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts.
Helping us quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The type of property
- If someone has resealed it before
- How we’d reach the joints
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will explain what’s involved before giving you a price.
How we handle new build mastic in Spittal
Some owners wait for the first year’s movement before having joints redone. That makes sense for small gaps that are just cosmetic, but a seal that is letting water through needs doing now. Common call-outs are for cracks appearing as a new home settles and messy sealant that spoils new finishes, across windows & doors, skirting & floors and bathrooms & en suites.
Around smaller Scottish places like Spittal, new homes tend to be single plots or small developments. They need their sealant and floor joints finished just as carefully as on a big site.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

For landlords and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Do not wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
Don’t stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
The sooner you deal with untidy or cracking sealant, the less there is to put right. Left alone, a small crack can become a leak in a busy bathroom.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Spittal: your questions answered
Will you come out to Spittal?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you do new build mastic in Spittal?
Yes, Spittal is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and the location, plus photos if you have them. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
How long does the job take?
A typical job takes a few hours in a single home. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Why deal with it now?
It often makes sense to do all the sealant items on a snagging list together. You get one visit and one clear quote for the lot. 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.
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. We take all of that into account in your quote.

New build mastic around Spittal
Spittal is in the west of Scotland, which is wetter than the east, which means plot mastic and the sealant in new homes has to cope with a lot of rain. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
If you’ve bought a new home near Croftfoot station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two. In and around Spittal, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
