What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- When we can work, for business premises
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first.

When you call or email, these details help:

Floor joint sealing in Innellan
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. If you have caulk that has cracked where the floor moves and grout cracking in a straight line across a floor, we can put it right, on commercial floors, tiled floors and thresholds alike.
Around smaller Scottish places like Innellan, new homes tend to be single plots or small developments. Each needs its sealant and floor joints finished as carefully as on a big site.
Every job is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Argyll and Bute.

Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
Keep heavy furniture from dragging across the joints. Dragging can tear the bead.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Sealing them early protects the edges.
What happens if it’s left?
Caulk is quick and cheap, but it cracks where the joint moves or gets wet, but the movement soon cracks it. A flexible sealant moves with the floor, so the joint stays closed. Around Innellan, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.

What we do, step by step
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. It generally takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Around Innellan, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- First, the floor type, the gap and the traffic are checked.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- The chosen sealant goes in, coloured to suit the floor.
- The joint is tooled neatly and the cure time explained.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Advice
FAQs for Innellan

How long before the joint can take traffic?
It depends on the product and the conditions. Before we leave, we tell you when it can be walked on, mopped and driven over so there’s no guesswork.
Why not just use caulk?
Only on dry joints that do not move. It splits once the floor shifts, so the gap comes back. A flexible sealant lasts longer there.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
It’s normally the floor moving: heating drying the timber, or a filler that is too rigid. A flexible sealant stays closed as the floor moves.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
What sealant work can’t fix
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
- Leaks from a failed tanking system
- Movement too big for a sealant joint
If you’re not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Tiled floors
- Commercial floors
- Skirting boards
- Concrete floor joints
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Thresholds
DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
New homes and floors in Innellan
Across Argyll and Bute, 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.

Do you need floor joint sealing in Innellan?
Wheels crossing an unfilled concrete joint chip its edges. Hard wheels damage the joint edges.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Tiled floors with no room to move
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Failed joint filler in concrete floors
Around Innellan, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.
