New Build Mastic in Tomintoul
New build mastic in Tomintoul from a team with over 20 years’ experience. Rated 4.9 on Google from 180+ five-star reviews.
- Beads laid onto grit and dust from the build
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Use the extractor fan every time you shower
Don’t stand on the bath edge or the lip of the tray while the sealant cures. If a bath or tray moves when you stand in it, get it looked at.
Do not let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. After that, putting it right may fall to you so report it promptly.

What new build mastic looks like in Tomintoul
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.

For landlords and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Leave it or put it right?
A failed shower or bath seal in a new home lets water into floors and walls that are still drying out. Resealing promptly protects the new finishes around it. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

Common problems we fix in Tomintoul
Later trades and the final clean can damage fresh sealant. A bead disturbed before it has cured may never seal properly.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Second-fix sealing on new plots
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
For jobs in and around Tomintoul, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

How the job changes by surface
Plot handovers
Good preparation at handover saves snagging later. Dust from the build is removed first and primer used where needed.
Bathrooms and en suites
En suite seals are easy to miss on a snagging list until they leak. A proper reseal keeps water in the tray.
The process
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours in a single home and we leave things clean and tidy. Somewhere like Tomintoul may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Do you work for developers?
Yes. Second-fix sealing in bathrooms, kitchens, frames and floors is part of what we do. Good preparation keeps snagging to a minimum.
Can I add another job to the visit?
