About our new build mastic in Taynuilt
In a new home, every joint should have a clean, even bead. Smeared, patchy or cracked sealant is worth sorting early, before water reaches anything behind it. If you are dealing with new-build shower sealant that has already split and gaps behind new kitchen upstands, we can put it right, on kitchens, skirting & floors and show homes alike.
Around smaller Scottish places like Taynuilt, 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.

How it works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Somewhere like Taynuilt may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Move anything stored near the joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Will you come out to Taynuilt?

Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Record problems with dated pictures
Avoid standing on the rim of the bath or the edge of the tray while the sealant cures. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
Do not let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you so report it promptly.
What we cannot put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
- Broken tiles or a split tray
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before you book.
