Floor joint sealing in Ettrickbridge, done properly
Painted skirting can be sealed with a flexible product that can be painted over. For bathrooms and kitchens, silicone is usually the better choice. We are often asked to deal with rigid edge joints in tiled floors and concrete floor joints that have broken down, across tiled floors, commercial floors and wet room & bathroom floors.
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.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Surface by surface
Skirting boards
On painted skirting, we can use a flexible sealant that takes paint. Where water is involved, silicone is the better choice.
Tiled floors
Large or heated tiled floors need room to move. We replace grout with flexible sealant along the right lines.
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Ettrickbridge: your questions answered
Is floor joint sealing in Ettrickbridge guaranteed?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you do floor joint sealing in Ettrickbridge?
Yes, Ettrickbridge is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we’re fully insured too.
Why not just use caulk?
Caulk is fine for dry joints that don’t move, but it cracks where there’s movement or water. We use a flexible sealant for most skirting and floor joints.
Do you seal warehouse floor joints?
Yes. We clean out the joints and reseal them with a product suited to the floor. Tell us what runs over the floor.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How do I get a quote for floor joint sealing in Ettrickbridge?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You will get a clear quote before any work starts.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected.

Why deal with it now?
Caulk is quick and cheap, but it cracks where the joint moves or gets wet, so the gap reappears. A flexible sealant moves with the floor and keeps the joint sealed. In a place like Ettrickbridge, small leaks are easy to put off, 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.

Advice
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Lift furniture rather than dragging it across joints
- Look at floor joints each spring
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
Don’t paint over silicone. If the joint will be painted, tell us beforehand so we use a paintable sealant.
Once concrete joint edges start to break, wheels make it worse. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact.
When to call us in Ettrickbridge
Caulk is the usual filler for skirting. It cracks where there’s movement or water so the gap reappears.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Ettrickbridge Church, floor and skirting joints in halls and kitchens wear like any others.
What your quote should include
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- What product goes in the joint
- What the cure time is
Floor joint sealing around Ettrickbridge
Across the Scottish Borders, 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.
In and around Ettrickbridge, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
