Floor joint sealing in Tarbert
Painted skirting can be sealed with a flexible product that can be painted over. For bathrooms and kitchens, silicone is usually the better choice. We work on thresholds, wet room & bathroom floors and concrete floor joints, and the jobs we see most are failed joint filler in concrete floors and grout used at the floor edge instead of sealant.
New homes in smaller Scottish places are often single plots, self-builds or small developments. Each needs its sealant and floor joints finished as carefully as on a big site.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

What we are called out for in Tarbert
Some floors were never given a perimeter gap or movement joint. As it expands, the edges lift or crack, and the sealant or grout breaks.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Worn sealant at door thresholds
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
Whether the job is in Tarbert itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
What to look for in a quote
- What insurance they hold
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
What we can’t put right
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before any work starts. Sealant will not put right:
- Bouncy or failing floorboards
- Concrete repairs beyond the joint
- Structural movement or subsidence
If you’re not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Tiled floors
- Thresholds
- Wet room & bathroom floors
- Skirting boards
- Commercial floors
- Concrete floor joints
Why deal with it now?
Caulk is quick and cheap, but it cracks where the joint moves or gets wet, but the movement soon cracks it. A flexible sealant moves with the floor and keeps the joint sealed. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Why book with us
- 20+ years of sealant experience
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over

What happens on the day
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- Old caulk, grout or sealant is removed from the joint.
- We clean and vacuum the joint and fit backing where the depth needs setting.
- A flexible sealant, or a floor-joint sealant for concrete, is applied in a colour to suit.
- We tool the joint neatly and tell you when it can be walked on and cleaned.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Clear the area around the work
Ask for a quote
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that is easier. Describe what needs sealing and we will talk you through the work and give you a clear price.
Advice
Floor joint sealing around Tarbert
Floors around Na h-Eileanan Siar 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. Island jobs need planning around ferries and the weather, so the more notice, the better.
Around Tarbert, as everywhere, floor joint sealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

How we quote for floor joint sealing
You’ll get a clear quote before work begins. It takes into account:
- How many areas need sealing
- The product the joint needs
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Any mould that needs treating
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Whether it’s a home or a business
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email pictures if that’s easy.
Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Cone off fresh joints until they’re ready
- Check the sealant is paintable before decorating
- Keep caulk for dry, still joints only
Mop with a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor. Less water at the edges helps the joints last.
Sealing a gap while it’s small is a quick job. Left alone, they collect dirt and widen and are harder to clean out.
Common questions in Tarbert
What guarantee comes with floor joint sealing in Tarbert?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you cover Tarbert for floor joint sealing?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Tarbert is part of that. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Tarbert, along with the rest of our area.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Can you add a movement joint to a tiled floor?
Generally, yes. Straight cracks in grout often show where a movement joint was needed. We rake out that line and seal it with flexible sealant.
Can you seal where the floor meets the bath panel?
Yes. We cut out any old sealant or caulk and reseal with flexible silicone, colour-matched where it shows.
