Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Floor joint sealing in South Gyle, done properly
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 so water and dirt cannot get in. If you have open gaps along the bottom of skirting boards and open joints around bathroom floor edges, we can put it right, on thresholds, concrete floor joints and wet room & bathroom floors alike.
Scotland’s cities are still adding new flats and houses, and in new homes, sealant and floor joints are often among the first snags, in South Gyle as anywhere.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in South Gyle and across Edinburgh.

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
Check the joints after the first winter. Small gaps at the ends can be touched up before they spread.
Water getting into floor joints in bathrooms and kitchens can damage what’s underneath. A sound seal stops that happening.
When something else is needed
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Large cracks that need a surveyor
- Damaged concrete that needs breaking out and repairing
- Floors that are uneven or need levelling
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before booking.

How we quote for floor joint sealing
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Whether the work is at height
- How much there is to do
- Working hours on commercial sites
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.

- How we’d reach the joints
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we will talk you through the work before giving you a price.
How the visit works
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Inside a flat in South Gyle, the job is planned with you; outside, shared parts may need the factor or other owners involved. It helps to know which it is when you get in touch.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- The joint is vacuumed clean, with backing fitted wherever depth matters.
- The sealant goes in, chosen for the floor and coloured to suit it.
- Finally we tool it smooth and explain when the floor can be used and cleaned.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Floor joint sealing in South Gyle: local notes
Many new homes in Scotland are timber-framed, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up. Floors around Edinburgh run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they do not all move the same way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
For landlords with property near South Gyle station, open skirting and floor joints collect dirt and water, so seal them while the property is empty. If you look after a building such as Forrester High School, floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.
South Gyle is about 3 miles west of West End, in Edinburgh. For floor joint sealing in and around South Gyle, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk for a quick quote. We are based in Crawley and cover Edinburgh, South Gyle included. Our Edinburgh coverage runs to 175 places, South Gyle among them.

What happens if it’s left?
Regrouting a cracked line in a tiled floor rarely fixes it. If the floor needs to move there, the grout will crack again. A flexible movement joint is the fix. For landlords in South Gyle, damp and leaks can be a Repairing Standard issue, so it’s worth fixing failed sealant before a tenant reports it.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and give you a clear price before we start.
What you get with us
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings

How the job changes by surface
Thresholds
Where a tiled floor meets timber or carpet, the joint takes movement from both sides. We bridge them with a flexible bead.
Skirting boards
If the skirting is painted, a paintable flexible sealant works well. Where water is involved, silicone is the better choice.
