How it works
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before we start. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. For a job in Troon, tell us where the work is, how to get in and where to park. Outdoor jobs need a dry day, so they can move if the weather turns.
- First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- The failed sealant is removed completely, with no layer left behind.
- Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
- Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
- We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.
Getting ready for the visit

- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

How we handle new build mastic in Troon
Failed shower seals, gaps along the skirting and messy beads are common items on a new-home snagging list. While the builder’s snagging or warranty period runs, report it to them first and if that stalls, we can do it. If you’re dealing with frame joints opening as the plaster dries and gaps behind new kitchen upstands, we can help, whatever the surface.
Around Troon, shops and business units have floor joints that break down under traffic. Sealing them before the edges break up saves a bigger repair.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in South Ayrshire.

Joints and finishes in Troon homes
Troon is within about 1 mile of the coast. New homes near the sea put their outside mastic to work from day one, so it’s worth checking at snagging. 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 Troon station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two. Around Troon, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Leave it or put it right?
Resealing everything on a snagging list in one visit is normally simpler than chasing joints one at a time. You get one visit and one clear quote. Scottish weather finds any gap, and in a town like Troon, failed outside joints soon let damp into walls. Inside, a failed seal around a bath or shower lets water into floors and ceilings.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

What else we do in Troon
Troon: your questions answered
Is Troon in your area for new build mastic?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Troon is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
I let a flat near Troon station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint.
Should I wait before resealing?
If the seal has failed and water is getting in, do it now. Small gaps that are just cosmetic can be resealed once movement has slowed.
How long does new build mastic take?
As a guide, most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Bigger jobs take longer.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll explain our choice.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Different surfaces, different methods
Bathrooms and en suites
Baths, showers, basins and trays in new bathrooms are the most common new-build reseal. We cut out the failed bead, clean and prime, and reseal with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Windows and doors
On new builds, external frame sealant can be patchy. We reseal it with a weatherproof, flexible sealant.
Landlord and commercial work in Troon
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. Several sites can be quoted together, and we’re fully insured for the work.
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Don’t wait for the house to settle if water is getting through
- Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
- Follow the cure time we give you
Keep an eye on the joints over the first couple of years. Small gaps can appear as the house dries, and they’re simple to reseal once movement has slowed.
Report failed sealant to the builder while you are in the snagging period. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you, so raise it early.
