New build mastic in Tarsappie, done properly
If your new home has a leaking shower seal, open skirting joints or untidy sealant, we can help. If you’re still within the builder’s snagging or warranty period, tell them first. If you have new-build shower sealant that has already split and sealant work across a run of new homes, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Around smaller Scottish places like Tarsappie, new homes tend to be single plots or small developments. Each needs its sealant and floor joints finished as carefully as on a big site.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

The process
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots from start to finish. For a place like Tarsappie, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- Each joint is checked for movement before work begins.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Common problems we fix in Tarsappie
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.
Look out for these signs:
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
In and around Tarsappie, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether you can choose the colour
- When the joint can take water or movement
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first

Why it’s worth doing now in Tarsappie
A hairline gap at a skirting can wait, but water getting through can’t. Not sure whether yours can wait? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few pictures and we’ll tell you. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Questions from Tarsappie
Can you do new build mastic in Tarsappie?
Yes, Tarsappie is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Perth station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
How long will you be here?
As a guide, most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. Fresh silicone does not stick to the old layer, so it soon lifts and traps water. We cut the old bead out completely.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
Any seal that’s leaking should be redone right away. Cosmetic gaps can wait until the first year or two of movement has passed.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
