About our floor joint sealing in Bower
Where skirting is painted, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. In wet areas we’d normally use silicone because it handles water. If you have tiled floors with no room to move and gaps at thresholds between rooms, we can put it right, on wet room & bathroom floors, commercial floors and skirting boards alike.
Many newer homes in Scotland are timber-framed and settle as they dry out, so skirting and floor joints can open up. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What we do, step by step
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors, including the tidy-up. In smaller Scottish places, parking is generally 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 look at the gap and the floor type and agree the right sealant.
- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- The joint is vacuumed clean, with backing fitted wherever depth matters.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Advice
For landlords and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Letting agents and landlords in Bower can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
How the job changes by surface
Thresholds
Where a tiled floor meets timber or carpet, the joint takes movement from both sides. A flexible sealant bridges them.
Commercial floors
In commercial buildings, we can plan floor joint work around opening hours. Out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Quotes for floor joint sealing in Bower
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How much there is to do
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Where the property is
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email pictures if that is easy.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Act on grout cracks that run in a straight line
Keep off the joint for the time we give you. Feet are generally fine before mopping or wheeled traffic, and we will tell you both.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. Resealing early keeps it out.

When to call us in Bower
When a tiled floor has no movement joints, the grout takes the strain. Cracks often run straight along a line of joints, where a flexible joint should have been.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Rigid edge joints in tiled floors
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Bower Parish Church, joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Whether VAT is included
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
What we can’t put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Structural movement or subsidence
- Tiles that have lifted or broken
- Damaged concrete that needs breaking out and repairing
If you are not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.

Floor joint sealing in Bower: local notes
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. Across Highland, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
In and around Bower, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Questions from Bower
Is floor joint sealing in Bower guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you cover Bower for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Bower is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Why not just use caulk?
Caulk cannot cope with movement or water. Floor edges move through the year, so we use a flexible sealant that stretches.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
My floor grout keeps cracking in a line. Can you help?
In many cases, yes. We replace the grout along a suitable line with flexible sealant coloured to suit. If tiles are loose, that needs fixing first.
Do you use a paintable sealant?
On joints you want to paint, yes. Silicone in bathrooms and kitchens cannot be painted, so tell us your plans.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll tell you what we’re using.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
Floors and walls move a little with the seasons, and new floors settle. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking like caulk.
