What happens if it’s left?
It often makes sense to do all the sealant items on a snagging list together. You get one visit and one clear quote to plan around. In an older home around Towie, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

New build mastic in Towie
Across Towie, we work for both new-home owners and the builders handing those homes over. One shower or a whole phase of plots, the method doesn’t change: cut out, clean, prime where needed and reseal neatly. Common call-outs are for leaking shower tray seals in a new home and second-fix sealing on new plots, across kitchens, plot handovers and skirting & floors.
New homes in smaller Scottish places are often single plots, self-builds or small developments. Each needs its sealant and floor joints finished as carefully as on a big site.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

What new build mastic looks like in Towie
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
In and around Towie, as anywhere, good new build mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. For jobs in and around Towie, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours in a single home. Outdoor work around Towie depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- Each joint is checked for movement before work begins.
- We remove the failed sealant and clean the joints.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Tell us about any water getting in
Ask for a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where and its rough size. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand.
Related advice
Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Quotes for new build mastic in Towie
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Access and height
- The size of the job
- Working hours on commercial sites
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
Asking for a quote

FAQs for Towie
Is new build mastic in Towie guaranteed?
All our work, in Towie and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you cover smaller places like Towie?
Yes. Towie is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is it messy?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Is it worth resealing while the house is still settling?
That depends on the joint. A leaking shower or bath seal should be redone right away, but cosmetic gaps can wait for movement to slow.
When is the sealant fully cured?
That depends on the sealant used, so please follow the time we give you when we finish.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Do you work through snagging lists?
Yes. Snagging lists are a common starting point for us. We agree the sealant items with you before any work starts.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
- Wait for the cure time before using a resealed shower
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Keep pictures and emails about snagging items
Keep the bathroom ventilated, especially in the first year. Use the extractor fan or open a window after showers.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Getting it resealed properly, and any movement checked, stops it recurring.
How the job changes by surface
Windows and doors
Draughts around new frames are often a sealant gap. We check and reseal the frame edges.
Plot handovers
Plot mastic is carried out to the developer’s schedule. Each joint is cleaned and primed where needed.
