New-build mastic & snagging in Wellbank, Dundee

- Gaps behind new kitchen upstands
- Gaps between new skirting and floors
How we handle new build mastic in Wellbank
If your new home has a leaking shower seal, open skirting joints or untidy sealant, we can help. While the builder’s snagging or warranty period runs, report it to them first. We work on bathrooms & en suites, windows & doors and plot handovers, and the jobs we see most are shower seals failing in the first year or two and gaps behind new kitchen upstands.
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.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Wellbank as everywhere else we work.

Signs you need new build mastic in Wellbank
Not every new-build joint gets the right sealant: caulk where water collects, or a rigid product on a moving joint. Both fail early.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
For new homes near Monifieth station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.

What sealant work cannot fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
- Disputes or warranty claims with your builder

How the job changes by surface
Bathrooms and en suites
Trays and baths in new builds settle as they’re used. The joint is stripped back before the new bead goes in.
Skirting and floors
Floors and skirting move as the house dries and the heating runs. We use a flexible product rather than caulk.
How the visit works
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours in a single home, and the area is left clean. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- 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 are given the cure time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any tricky access

DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What happens if it’s left?
Water getting past a failed seal in a new build reaches walls and floors that are still settling. Resealing promptly protects the new finishes around it. In an older home around Wellbank, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
