Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Put sealant faults on your snagging list early
- Open a window or run the fan after bathing
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
Leave the sealant for the cure time we give you before showering or bathing. Silicone is usually left for about a day.
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 we handle new build mastic in Wattston
In a new home, every joint should have a clean, even bead. When the finish is smeared, patchy or already cracking, it’s worth putting right early, before water gets into the floor or walls. Typical jobs include leaking shower tray seals in a new home and cracked caulk along new skirting, on plot handovers, show homes and windows & doors.
Around smaller Scottish places like Wattston, new homes tend to be single plots or small developments. Each needs its sealant and floor joints finished as carefully as on a big site.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Questions from Wattston
Is Wattston within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you do new build mastic in Wattston?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Wattston is part of that. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. We cover Wattston and the rest of North Lanarkshire, along with the rest of our area.
How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
My new home is still under warranty. Should I contact you?
Start with your builder while their snagging or warranty period runs. If that doesn’t work out, we are happy to quote and our work is guaranteed for a year.
When is the best time to reseal in a new build?
Where water is getting through, don’t wait. Small gaps that are just cosmetic can be resealed once movement has slowed.

When it is not the sealant
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder

Surface by surface
Bathrooms and en suites
En suite showers are a common source of leaks into the room below. A proper reseal keeps water in the tray.
Kitchens
Beside the sink, the joint takes water every day. We use a sealant suited to kitchens.
Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
What we do, step by step
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots. Somewhere like Wattston may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- First we work through your snagging list or plot schedule with you.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- We clean off dust from the build and prime the surfaces where the product needs it.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- Finally, each room is checked and you’re given the cure time.
How to prepare
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
Getting a quote
Getting a quote is simple: let us know what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll take it from there.
Advice
Landlord and commercial work in Wattston
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
What happens if it’s left?
A tube of sealant from the DIY shop won’t fix the cause: grit, unprimed surfaces and old layers underneath. Proper removal and preparation are what make it last. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.
