Gripfill. If you have exposed floorboards you can screw pieces of 2 by 2 timber about
2" from the skirting. Then you make up a pair of folding wedges (ie., two wedges) to go between the skirting and the piece of 2 by 2. This will force the skirting to the wall whilst the adhesive sets.mark

Good idea that - filed away for next time! David
When I was doing our master bathroom, I stuck them on with silicone mastic, 'cos that's what the gun had in it, the Pinkgrip I'd bought months previously had gone "off" (I assume the solvent evaporates slowly even through a sealed tube - both tubes had gone rock solid) and ICBA to go out and get some more.
A year later it still seems to be OK!
Evostick Nail and Seal. It doesn't smell, it grabs well and doesn't come off easily.
