Why it’s worth doing now in Eyemouth
Caulk is quick and cheap, but it cracks where the joint moves or gets wet, but the movement soon cracks it. A flexible sealant stretches instead and keeps the joint sealed. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

About our floor joint sealing in Eyemouth
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, commercial floors and skirting boards, and the jobs we see most are cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens and grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant.
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and it settles over the first years, so skirting and floor joints can open up. Older stone-built homes, meanwhile, often have timber floors that move with the seasons.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

What we do, step by step

- We clear the edges of the floor so the joints are easy to reach.
- We take out the cracked caulk, grout or old sealant.
- Edges are cleaned and dried.
- A flexible sealant suited to the floor is applied and smooth it.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
Preparing for the visit

Advice
Quotes for floor joint sealing in Eyemouth
We don’t publish a price list. The quote depends on:
- Whether the work is at height
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
The cost depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Where the property is
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- A few photos by email, if you can
- What’s wrong with the joints now
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Subfloor problems that need a flooring contractor
- Tiles that have lifted or broken
- Large cracks that need a surveyor
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Tiled floors
- Commercial floors
- Skirting boards
- Concrete floor joints
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Thresholds
Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Avoid sloshing water against skirting
- Don’t slide heavy items over sealed joints
Lift furniture rather than sliding it over sealed joints. Dragging can tear the bead.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Early resealing helps keep the joint intact and the floor safer.

Joints and finishes in Eyemouth homes
Floors around the Scottish Borders run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and 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, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
In and around Eyemouth, as anywhere, good floor joint sealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

- Open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards
