About our new build mastic in Torbothie
Building dust is behind a lot of failed new-build sealant. Each joint is cleaned of dust and primed where the product calls for it, so the sealant actually sticks instead of bonding to the dust. If you are dealing with second-fix sealing on new plots and joints pulling apart as timber shrinks, we can put it right.
Work in a place like Torbothie is planned ahead, journey included. Outdoor plot mastic needs dry weather, but indoor floor and skirting joints can be sealed whatever the forecast.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. We’ll tell you when we quote.
How much does new build mastic cost in Torbothie?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a short description of the job.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
It depends on whether water is getting through. A leaking shower or bath seal should be redone straight away, but cosmetic gaps can wait for movement to slow.

It depends on the product and the conditions. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Who should fix failed sealant in a new build?
Report it to the builder first while you’re covered. Once that’s done, or if they won’t put it right, we will cut it out and reseal it.
What the job involves on each surface
Kitchens
Worktop, upstand and sink joints in new kitchens often get a hurried bead. We remove it and reseal with a kitchen-suitable sealant.
Plot handovers
Developers can send the plot schedule and specification for a quote. We seal bathrooms, kitchens, frames and floors as agreed.
For landlords and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
If you manage several properties in or around Torbothie, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and photos by email help.
Common problems we fix in Torbothie
Later trades and the final clean can damage fresh sealant. A bead disturbed before it has cured may never seal properly, and the problem shows up after you move in.

- Messy sealant that spoils new finishes
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Second-fix sealing on new plots

Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- 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
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Most silicones need around a day.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Early resealing keeps the job small and the new finishes intact.
