How much does new build mastic cost in Tom nan Ragh?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a short description of the job.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Cure times vary by product and the temperature. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Can new sealant go on top of the old bead?
No. Over-sealing traps mould and water and soon fails. All the old sealant comes out before work begins.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, we do. We work in homes, commercial premises and hotels.
About our new build mastic in Tom nan Ragh
Our new-build work comes in two parts: plot mastic for developers, and putting right failed sealant for people who’ve bought a new home. In both, preparation makes the difference since hurried prep is behind a lot of new-build failures. Common call-outs are for gaps opening as the house dries out and settles and sealant that never bonded to the surface, on plot handovers, windows & doors and kitchens.
Around smaller Scottish places like Tom nan Ragh, 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.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Do not seal over failed sealant yourself
Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone and keep the builder’s replies. It helps if anything else comes up during the warranty period.
A failed seal in a new home lets water into joists, plasterboard and ceilings. Early resealing keeps the job small and protects the rest of the house.
Different surfaces, different methods
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.
Bathrooms and en suites
Baths, showers, basins and trays in new bathrooms are the most common new-build reseal. The old sealant comes out and anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in after cleaning and priming.

Joints and finishes in Tom nan Ragh homes
Tom nan Ragh is close to the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so any gaps are best picked up early. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
Around Tom nan Ragh, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it. Whether the job is in Tom nan Ragh itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

What happens on the day
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots, including the tidy-up. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

What affects the cost of new build mastic
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The number of rooms or windows
- The product the joint needs
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
What we need to know
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- The rough size of the job
- If someone has resealed it before
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will come back to you with a quote.
Why deal with it now?
For developers, getting the sealant right first time saves return visits. Every return visit for a failed seal takes time. Around Tom nan Ragh, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and send you a clear quote before work begins.
