Floor & skirting joints in Corstorphine, Edinburgh
Floor joint sealing across Corstorphine and nearby, with old sealant always removed completely and a 12-month guarantee.
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
What we are called out for in Corstorphine
A new floor or screed shrinks and settles as it dries. The edges pull away from the skirting.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
Managing a site like Craigmount High School? Then floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:
- The size of the job
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Access and height
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- How we’d reach the joints
- Where the property is
- Roughly how big the job is
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
Getting a quote is simple: tell us what needs doing and where and its rough size. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll take it from there.
Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Corstorphine questions
Is floor joint sealing in Corstorphine guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you work for landlords with property near South Gyle station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
How much does floor joint sealing cost in Corstorphine?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Can you seal where the floor meets the bath panel?
Yes. The old joint comes out and a flexible silicone replaces it in a colour to suit.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you will get one quote.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
When something else is needed
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Leaks from a failed tanking system
- Structural movement or subsidence
- Loose, hollow or cracked tiles, which need a tiler

Joints and finishes in Corstorphine homes
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. Floors around Edinburgh run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they don’t all move the same way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Rented homes near South Gyle station change hands often, and a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant. For buildings such as Corstorphine Collegiate Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

What the job involves on each surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
Mop water gets into any open joint at the edge of a bathroom floor. A flexible seal stops water running into the gap.
Skirting boards
Skirting pulls away from the floor as floors shrink and settle. We seal them with a flexible sealant rather than caulk painted or coloured to match.
How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
Keep heavy traffic off resealed concrete joints for the cure time we give you. Mark the area off so drivers avoid it until it’s ready.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Ignored, they fill with dirt and open further.
