About our new build mastic in Tollcross
Some new-home owners let the house settle before resealing. For small cosmetic gaps, that is reasonable, but a seal that is letting water through needs doing now. We work on bathrooms & en suites, windows & doors and show homes, and people most often call us about messy sealant that spoils new finishes and internal frame sealant that has split.
Offices, shops and commercial units in Scotland’s cities have floors with movement joints and thresholds that take heavy wear. In Tollcross, we cover those floor joints as well as plot mastic for developers.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

How the visit works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. In a city area like Tollcross, parking may be by permit or pay-and-display, so tell us what’s nearby. If you’re in a flat, let us know how we get in at the street door.
- Each joint is checked for movement before work begins.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- We make sure the joints are dry and prime them if needed.

Once people move in, baths and trays take weight and bed down. If a bath wasn’t filled when it was sealed, the bead is stretched the first time it’s used.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
Around Tollcross, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

New build mastic in Tollcross: local notes
Tollcross is in the west of Scotland, which is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for plot mastic and the sealant in new homes to keep out. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
If you’ve bought a new home near Carntyne station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Surface by surface
Skirting and floors
Floors and skirting move as the house dries and the heating runs. Caulk cracks; a flexible sealant moves with it in a colour to suit.
Bathrooms and en suites
New-build bathrooms and en suites are where sealant fails most often. We cut out the failed bead, clean and prime, and reseal with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.

Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we’ll quote it together.
What information do you need?
Let us know what needs doing and where, plus pictures if you have them. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Why does sealant fail so quickly in new builds?
A new house dries and settles for a year or two, and sealant is often rushed onto dusty, unprimed surfaces. Either can make it fail early.
Do you take on second-fix sealing for builders?
Yes. We work through plots to your schedule ready for handover. Get in touch with the number of plots and the scope for a clear quote.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us and we are fully insured.
My new home is still under warranty. Should I contact you?
Report it to the builder first while you’re covered. Once that is done, or if they will not put it right, we can reseal it properly.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
- Broken tiles or a split tray
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.

Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- If someone has resealed it before
- The type of property
- Where the job is, and your postcode
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Get a leaking seal dealt with straight away
- Avoid scourers and strong chemicals on sealant
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Use the extractor fan or open a window after showers to help keep mould away.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant and protects the rest of the house.
