Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Robroyston
Good floor joints come down to the right product and clean, prepared edges. Old caulk, grout or failed sealant comes out first, the joint is cleaned and backed where needed, then the new sealant goes in. We work on concrete floor joints, wet room & bathroom floors and commercial floors, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked grout where a tiled floor needs a movement joint and perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout.
New flats and houses are still being built in and around Scotland’s cities, and new-home owners often find sealant snags in the first year or two, in Robroyston as anywhere.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Robroyston and across Glasgow.

What the job involves on each surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
In a wet room, the floor-to-wall joint is a key line of defence. It’s resealed with a sanitary silicone and we will say if the problem looks like more than the joint.
Concrete floor joints
Open concrete joints chip at the edges when wheels cross them. Sealing them supports the edges and stops debris collecting.
What affects the cost of floor joint sealing
There’s no set price list. What we look at:
- Any mould that needs treating
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- When we can work, for business premises
- Whether the work is at height
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start.
What to tell us for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
There’s no standard price list, because every job is different. Instead, we give you a clear price for your job. To arrange one, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Ask before painting over a sealed joint
- Walk round the room once a year and look at the edges
- Do not slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
Silicone sealant isn’t made to take paint. If the joint will be painted, tell us beforehand so we use a paintable sealant.
Concrete joints damaged by traffic get worse quickly. Sealing them early protects the edges and the surface smoother.
Common problems we fix in Robroyston
A floor laid tight to the walls has no room to move. As it expands, the edges lift or crack and joints fail.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor
- Grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant
- Threshold joints that have opened or worn
- Open joints that fill with dirt
If you let a flat or house near Robroyston station, a tidy floor and skirting joint helps a rental look ready for the next tenant.
What to look for in a quote
- How much experience the applicator has
- When the joint can take water or movement
- How the colour is chosen
- Whether they’re fully insured
When it isn’t the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
- Leaks from a failed tanking system
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.

Questions from Robroyston
Do you work for landlords with property near Robroyston station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Is there a guarantee on floor joint sealing in Robroyston?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll tell you what we are using.
Can you use decorators’ caulk instead?
Only on dry joints that don’t move. It splits once the floor shifts. A flexible sealant lasts longer there.
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 so water can’t get into the gap.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
It’s normally the floor moving: timber drying in winter, floors settling, or caulk that can’t stretch. A flexible bead keeps up with the movement.
DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What floor joint sealing looks like in Robroyston
Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. Floors around Glasgow run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they do not all move the same way. That’s why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
