- Cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint
- Gaps at thresholds between rooms
Different surfaces, different methods
Tiled floors
When grout cracks along a straight line, the floor is telling you it needs to move. We rake out that line and seal it if it’s in the right place.
Wet room and bathroom floors
Mop water gets into any open joint at the edge of a bathroom floor. A flexible seal stops water running into the gap.
How we handle floor joint sealing in Penilee
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. Typical jobs include open joints that fill with dirt and grout cracking in a straight line across a floor, on skirting boards, wet room & bathroom floors and thresholds.
Scotland’s cities are still adding new flats and houses, and in new homes, sealant and floor joints are often among the first snags.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re covered after we have gone.

Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents and landlords in Penilee can book us as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Common problems we fix in Penilee
Caulk is the usual filler for skirting. It cracks where there’s movement or water so the gap reappears.
People normally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Gaps opening between the floor and skirting
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Grout cracking in a straight line across a floor
If you let a flat or house near Hillington West station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.

Why act early in Penilee
Leaving skirting gaps until the next decorating job lets dirt and draughts in. Sealing them now is a short job for most homes. Wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint on the outside of a city building, and in Penilee, damp can spread through stone and plaster before anyone sees it.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first.

Joints and finishes in Penilee homes
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, so skirting and sealant joints can open up as the building settles. Floors around Glasgow run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and each moves in its own way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Rosshall Academy, floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up.

Do you guarantee your work?

Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Will I be able to paint over the new joint?
If you tell us beforehand, yes. Joints that will be painted get a paintable product.
Why has a gap opened under my skirting?
Timber floors and skirting shrink and swell through the year. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking like caulk.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. For a tenement in Penilee, work inside your flat is between us and you, while shared parts may need the factor or neighbours to agree. Tell us which applies when you book.
- We start by checking the floor, the joint and what traffic it takes.
- We remove what’s in the joint now.
- We vacuum out the joint and add backing where the depth needs setting.
- We apply the sealant in a colour that suits the floor.
- We tool it neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
