Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Leave it or put it right?
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. Around Strathwhillan, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Look at the sealant regularly in the first couple of years
- Keep photos and emails about snagging items
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off it as they wear the bead.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
Do you need new build mastic in Strathwhillan?
Sealant is often one of the last jobs before handover. Dusty, unprimed joints are common, and the sealant sits on grit instead of the surface.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Worktop and upstand sealant coming away
- Shower seals failing in the first year or two
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
Around Strathwhillan, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.

For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.

Yes. We work in homes, commercial premises and hotels.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.

Strathwhillan 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. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
Whether the job is in Strathwhillan itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

How it works
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Outside jobs in Strathwhillan 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.
- Each joint is checked for movement before we start.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Let us know about parking restrictions
