Questions from Steinis
Do you cover Steinis for floor joint sealing?
Yes, Steinis is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Is there a guarantee on floor joint sealing in Steinis?
All our work, in Steinis and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
Do you use a paintable sealant?
Where you plan to paint, we do. Silicone in bathrooms and kitchens can’t be painted.
Do you seal warehouse floor joints?
Yes. We reseal concrete floor joints in commercial and industrial units. We’ll talk through the traffic and choose a sealant suited to it.
Is caulk good enough for skirting?
Caulk is fine for dry joints that don’t move, but it splits where the joint moves or gets wet. We use a flexible sealant for most skirting and floor joints.
About our floor joint sealing in Steinis
The gap under a skirting board often opens as floors and walls move with the seasons. Decorators’ caulk usually cracks where there’s movement, so we use a flexible sealant that moves with the floor. Typical jobs include cracked caulk along skirting in bathrooms and kitchens and floor edges that trap water and grime, on skirting boards, commercial floors and wet room & bathroom floors.
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’re not left on your own once the job is done.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.

Quotes for floor joint sealing in Steinis
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether the work is at height
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and send you a clear quote before work begins.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Where the property is
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- How we’d reach the joints
Getting a quote is simple: let us know what needs doing and where and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job.
What happens if it’s left?
Regrouting a cracked line in a tiled floor rarely fixes it. The movement is still there, so the grout fails again. A flexible movement joint is the fix. Around Steinis, 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.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why us?
- We never seal over old sealant
- 20+ years of sealant experience
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- 180+ five-star Google reviews

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Do not fill floor joints with caulk where they move or get wet
- Have a cracking tiled floor checked before tiles break
- Sweep along the edges of the floor
Avoid flooding the floor when you clean. Less water at the edges helps the joints last.
In wet areas, an open floor joint lets water reach the subfloor. Resealing early keeps it out.
What sealant work cannot fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Bouncy or failing floorboards
- Failed waterproofing under a wet room floor
- Large cracks that need a surveyor
If you are not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Commercial floors
- Skirting boards
- Thresholds
- Concrete floor joints
- Tiled floors
- Wet room & bathroom floors
For landlords and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
How it works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors from start to finish. Outdoor work around Steinis depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- The room is cleared along the joints so we can reach them.
- Old material is removed from the joint.
- We clean and dry the edges of the joint.
- We apply a flexible sealant suited to the floor.
- Finally, we check the work and talk you through aftercare.
How to prepare
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
