Sealing the Gap

I have converted an old shed (used to be a silage pit) into stables and it looks fantastic. However due to the levels on the floor i have a problem with urine seeping between the stables. In some places the gap is between the floor and the partition is the thickness of ones thumb.

Whats is the best sealant to used or is it just a case of running a bead of cement along the gap.

TIA

I’d use something like this

https://www.sealantsandtoolsdirect...._sealant_adhesive_600ml_box_of_20_P23170.html

It’s what I use for concrete joint sealing, concrete panels etc
The above site is as good as any on price I think.

You can get a foam filler strip, to take up the gap if you wish, wedge it under the partition, and then make a nice big fillet of sealant. Saves too much disappearing under the partition, depending how wide it is?
