About our floor joint sealing in Dunshalt
Floors move, and the joint where they meet a wall, skirting, threshold or another floor has to move with them. Skirting-to-floor gaps, tiled floor joints and concrete joints are all sealed. We work on tiled floors, wet room & bathroom floors and commercial floors, and common reasons people get in touch are skirting caulk that keeps splitting and tiled floors with no room to move.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, so skirting and floor joints can open up. In older homes, timber floors move through the year too.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

How the job changes by surface
Skirting boards
Skirting gaps are one of the most common floor joints we seal. We take out any cracked caulk before sealing.
Commercial floors
Shops, offices, warehouses and units all have floor joints that need sealing. The sealant is chosen for the traffic the floor takes.
When to call us in Dunshalt
Concrete floor joints break down when traffic runs over open or failed joints. Hard wheels damage the joint edges until the joint widens.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
Community buildings like Parish Church are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.

The process
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Outside jobs in Dunshalt need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- Any old caulk, grout or sealant is raked or cut out.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Advice
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Why act early in Dunshalt
Regrouting a cracked line in a tiled floor rarely fixes it. If the floor needs to move there, the grout will crack again. A flexible movement joint is the fix. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why Dunshalt clients choose us

When it isn’t the sealant
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere
If you are not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we seal
- Wet room & bathroom floors

Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Keep dirt out of the joints
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
Avoid flooding the floor when you clean. Keeping the edges drier helps the sealant last longer.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. Resealing early keeps it out.

Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll explain which colours are available.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new sealant bonds properly.

Yes. Old filler is cleaned out and the joint resealed with a floor-joint product. Let us know about the traffic.
Joints and finishes in Dunshalt homes
Across Fife, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and each moves in its own way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that. Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.
Letting a property close to Ladybank station? Then open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty.
