- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Keep heavy wheels off new concrete joints until cured
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
Keep off the joint for the time we give you. Feet are generally fine before mopping or wheeled traffic so we’ll give you each time.
In wet areas, an open floor joint lets water reach the subfloor. Resealing early keeps it out.
About our floor joint sealing in Eastriggs
In kitchens and bathrooms, the joint where the floor meets a bath panel, plinth or skirting takes mop water every day. We seal them with a flexible, water-resistant sealant and stops dirt collecting. If you’re dealing with open joints that fill with dirt and failed joint filler in concrete floors, we can put it right.
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.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Floor joint sealing around Eastriggs
Across Dumfries and Galloway, 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. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles.

Common questions in Eastriggs
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Annan station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Can you do floor joint sealing in Eastriggs?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Eastriggs is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll explain our choice.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
My floor grout keeps cracking in a line. Can you help?
Often, yes. A crack along a grout line often means the floor needs room to move. We replace that grout with a flexible joint.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
On joints you want to paint, yes. Silicone does not take paint, so tell us your plans.
What sealant work can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Structural movement or subsidence
- Loose, hollow or cracked tiles, which need a tiler
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Skirting boards
- Wet room & bathroom floors

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
What we’re called out for in Eastriggs
An open floor joint fills with dirt and water. In kitchens and bathrooms, mop water gets into the gap and behind skirting and plinths.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Dirt and water collecting in open floor joints
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
Community buildings like St John's Episcopal Church are part of the picture too: floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
What your quote should include
- Are they insured?
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether VAT is included
- How hidden problems are handled
How the job changes by surface
