DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Floor joint sealing in Rahane
Good floor joints come down to the right product and clean, prepared edges. We remove what’s there first, then clean, back and seal the joint. If you have open joints that fill with dirt and gaps between floors and kitchen plinths, we can put it right.
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.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we have gone.

Your questions about floor joint sealing in Rahane
Is Rahane within the area you cover?
Yes, Rahane is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for landlords with property near Garelochhead station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Can you seal where the floor meets the bath panel?
Yes. Where a floor meets a bath panel, kitchen plinth or skirting in a wet area, we use a flexible silicone.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Where do you work from?
We are based in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Get cracks along tile grout lines looked at early
- Do not slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
Have a look at the joints once the heating season is over. If anything has opened, it’s easy to reseal.
Small gaps are quick to seal. Ignored, they fill with dirt and open further.
Common problems we fix in Rahane
Grout is rigid, so a tiled floor with nowhere to move cracks along a grout line. You will see a crack running along the grout, showing where a movement joint was needed.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens
- Open joints that fill with dirt
Around Rahane, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Floor joint sealing around Rahane
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. Across Argyll and Bute, floors range from older suspended timber floors to concrete slabs in newer homes and commercial units, and they don’t all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that.
If you let a flat or house near Garelochhead station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.

Different surfaces, different methods
Skirting boards
Skirting pulls away from the floor as floors shrink and settle. A flexible sealant closes the gap without cracking.
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 where it suits the floor.
What we cannot put right
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Structural movement or subsidence
- Subfloor problems that need a flooring contractor
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work in Rahane
- Concrete floor joints
- Commercial floors
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Tiled floors
- Skirting boards
- Thresholds
Leave it or put it right?
Open joints along wet floors let water into the subfloor and behind skirting. Sealing them now keeps the problem at the surface. 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.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.
What you get with us
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
