Sealing bathroom floor
Reply with quote Thanks

Hi there. I have a wooden floor in my tiny bathroom, which is in a first floor flat. There is also a cast iron bath with legs and a toilet with virtually no space between them. The sink is wall mounted. Water has been leaking through the holes in the floor around the bath pipes, I need to seal the floor and the holes, but am unsure how to go about this. Does anyone have any suggestions? Nathalie

fix the leaks, a dollop of silicone around the pipe will do what? let the water run onto the board and rot it.

fix the leak, no more worries

Thanks Breezer, but there isn't a leak, just splashes...these are small but over time damaging the ceiling below. Nathalie
