About our new build mastic in Tighnabruaich
Dust is the enemy of new-build sealant. We clean every joint thoroughly and prime where the surface and product need it, so the sealant actually sticks. Common call-outs are for new-build shower sealant that has already split and kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall, on skirting & floors, bathrooms & en suites and kitchens.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, so skirting and floor joints can open up. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Settlement cracks that need a surveyor
- Baths and trays that move too much for sealant to cope with
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Plot handovers
- Bathrooms & en suites
- Skirting & floors
- Kitchens
- Windows & doors

Common problems we fix in Tighnabruaich
New homes are full of moisture from plaster, screed and concrete, which takes a year or two to dry out. As it does, timber shrinks and joints open, and sealant that can’t keep up splits.
People usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- Joints pulling apart as timber shrinks
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
Whether the job is in Tighnabruaich itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which colour the sealant will be
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Is VAT in the price?
- Are they insured?

Can you do plot mastic on a new development?

How long does new build mastic take?
A typical job takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We work from Crawley. We cover Tighnabruaich and the rest of Argyll and Bute, along with the rest of our area.
How long should I leave it?
Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
How much does new build mastic cost in Tighnabruaich?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote.
How we quote for new build mastic
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The size of the job
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Where the property is
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
There’s no standard price list, because every job is different. Instead, we send you a clear quote for your job. To arrange one, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
What happens if it’s left?
If you’re still in the builder’s snagging or warranty period, ask them to put it right first. If it keeps failing or is not dealt with, we can reseal it properly. Around Tighnabruaich, 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.
Doing several joints on one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.

What the job involves on each surface
Skirting and floors
Gaps under skirting are one of the most common new-build snags. We seal it with a flexible sealant that copes with the movement.
Show homes
We can refresh show-home sealant that has discoloured or been knocked. The old bead comes out and a clean new one goes in.

Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Hairline gaps can open as timber and plaster dry.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Early resealing keeps the job small.
