Floor joint sealing in Evie
In kitchens and bathrooms, the joint where the floor meets a bath panel, plinth or skirting takes mop water every day. A flexible silicone seal keeps it out and stops dirt collecting. We work on concrete floor joints, thresholds and skirting boards, and common reasons people get in touch are open joints around bathroom floor edges and rigid edge joints in tiled 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.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Evie as everywhere else we work.

New homes and floors in Evie
Work on the islands has to be planned around ferry crossings and the weather, so the more notice, the better. Across the Orkney Islands, 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.
Whether the job is in Evie itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Evie questions
Is Evie in your area for floor joint sealing?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Evie is part of that. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Evie?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, islands included, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you seal where the floor meets the bath panel?
Yes. We cut out any old sealant or caulk and reseal with flexible silicone, colour-matched where it shows.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
Can grout be replaced with sealant on a tiled floor?
Often, yes, where it suits the floor. We remove the grout and seal the line with flexible sealant.
Can sealant along the skirting be painted?
On joints you want to paint, yes. Silicone doesn’t take paint so mention it when you get a quote.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll explain which colours are available and agree one before any work starts.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
What affects the quote in Evie
There’s no set price list. What we look at:
- The product the joint needs
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How many areas need sealing
- Working hours on commercial sites
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- The address or postcode of the job
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Whether it has been sealed before
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
Every job is quoted individually. Simply drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and describe the job, and photos are welcome.

The process
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can carry on as normal. The job usually takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Around Evie, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply a flexible sealant, or a floor-joint product on concrete, in a suitable colour.
- The joint is tooled to a neat finish and we tell you when it can take feet and a mop.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any parking rules near the property
How to get a quote
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will talk you through what we’d do. Whenever you’re ready, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Different surfaces, different methods
Tiled floors
Large or heated tiled floors need room to move. Where needed, a line of grout is replaced with flexible sealant in a matching colour.
Thresholds
Two different floors meeting at a threshold move differently. A flexible sealant bridges them.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Do you need floor joint sealing in Evie?
Some floors were never given a perimeter gap or movement joint. It pushes against the walls and skirting as it expands, and the sealant or grout breaks.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Floor edges that trap water and grime
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
In and around Evie, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
