How we handle new build mastic in Wilkieston
A new build should have a neat, sound bead at every joint. 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 gaps opening as the house dries out and settles and shower seals failing in the first year or two, across skirting & floors, kitchens and windows & doors.
New homes in smaller Scottish places are often single plots, self-builds or small developments. They need their sealant and floor joints finished just as carefully as on a big site.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Why deal with it now?
Running a new bead over the builder’s sealant might look tidy for a few weeks, but it won’t bond to the old layer. A lasting seal starts with removing the old one completely. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.

When it is not the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
- Leaking fittings rather than failed sealant
- Broken tiles or a split tray

How the job changes by surface
Show homes
We can refresh show-home sealant that has discoloured or been knocked. We cut it out and reseal neatly.
Kitchens
Sink joints are wet all the time. A kitchen sealant goes in there suited to the job.
How it works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating. Expect the work to take a few hours in a single home, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Outdoor work around Wilkieston depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- We cut out every bit of the failed or messy sealant.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- New sealant suited to each joint is applied and tooled neatly.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

What affects the quote in Wilkieston
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The amount of work
- The product the joint needs
- Access and height
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and send you a clear quote before any work starts.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- If someone has resealed it before
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
Every job is quoted individually. Simply email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and describe the job.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Ventilate bathrooms well, especially in the first year
- Record problems with dated pictures
- Clean sealant with mild detergent, not abrasives
Clean the sealant with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents, which can damage the surface.
Do not let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you so report it promptly.
