Hiya, My shower in the main bathroom is leaking from the top of the bath where the tiles meet the bath, it’s siliconed at the moment and tonight I decided to have a nice hot bath, it was only when I was lower and there was a lot of weight in the bath did I notice the bath moves lower than the...

I've recently fitted a full new bathroom suite plus i did all the tiling etc singlehandedly. And to be honest im very impressed with the finish apart from one tiny but annoying problem. I decided to go for a PVC/rubber bathstrip as opposed to siliconing the joint between the bath and the...

We recently had a new bathroom refit and are very pleased with it apart from the curved shower screen keeps swinging into the shower area. The fitter came out and loweredthe screen slightly, but this hasn't fixed the problem and has only 'squashed' the seal. The seal doesn't sit flush either...

Hi Every 12 months or so I have to reseal the bath ... black spots on the silicone. It's a bit tiresome. There is ventilation and we open the window too, but it's not enough. In fact because the bath top is not perfectly square, some water always rests there and in contact with the...

Recently fitted a new bath and everything is fine until you fill it up and let the water out. The underside of the plug hole is leaking slightly where the waste joins up to the bath and the plughole. This is only when the bath is pretty full so i think the pressure of the water when the plug...

Hi we have fitted a curved shower screen above our bath, fitted the seal and it seems to leak in the corner. No matter which way we cut the seal or get a different type of seal it still leaks. It seeps out where the hard plastic of the seal joins the metal bracket and where the rubber seal joins...

Hi, What's the best/preferred 'sealant' to use between the bath and the chrome waste fitting ? Cheers Dan.

hello! I've just moved into a house and discovered that the bath is leaking around the sealant. So I removed it and tried to lay down some new stuff neatly with masking tape. But I wasn't fast enough around the awkward parts of the bath and the silicone set before I pulled the tape off! haha...

Guys, I need some advice here. I've spent close to £1000 pound on two 'plumbing' companies to fix a problem whereby the bath to wall silicone seal lets water down the side of the bath causing water leakage into the flat below. The problem lies with the fact that when the bath is stepped in...

I'm fitting a new metal roca bath. I'm wondering do you usually tile the wall first and then push the bath on topof the tiles, or do you place the bath first and then tile on the top edge of the bath with a 3mm gap for the silicone ? My bath has a 5mm gap between the wall so I can (a)...

I have a painted bath panel, which sits under the rim of my bath and is flush with the edge of the bath, as the instructions said. I just took it off to check the plumbing, and found water was creeping around the bath rim and sitting on top of the bath panel, and leaving a bit of a mess. Also...

Hello Can anyone advice me on a product which I can screw, seal to a tile wall and then "jam" the shower curtain in there so that it will stop leaking out the side. I actually need the product to go down the wall to the bath, then turn 90 degrees (either bend or cut) and down the bath a bit...

In the process of fitting a new bath. Starting out with plastered walls. Usually i have fitted the bath first and then tiled above the bath. From what I've read, this seems to be the most preferred option.... However, having fitted the taps to the bath, if i were to fit the bath and then...

I am having a few problems with my bath/ shower screen, it leaks in the bottom corner by the hinge and along the edge at the bottom. Could the latter of the two be fixed with a bath screen barrier rail and a new seal? Is there any point in a barrier rail, I mean is it just out there as an...

Hi all, I've siliconed the bath tiles and bath edge already. Decided to go with a shower screen now and to install the wall profile bracket so it can be flush to the wall, is it best to: A) cut the silicone at the point where screen will go and remove all(as much of) the silicone and...

I am about to plumb in my bath in the next few days. first time for me. So I have a few questions which Im sure are easy to answer for non -rookies. TRAP In terms of the trap - is there much difference between P trap , shallow P trap and any others. what tends to work best? or is it all...

I have a poorly fitted bath overflow. It is the type that lifts the plug by rotating a knob. Looking at the back of the bath the whole assembly moves when you over rotate the knob and is very loose. Can anybody give me advice on how these things are installed or the best way to seal it...

Hi!, Currently sorting out my bathroom. Started laying LVT planks today. The bath side panel however is looking a bit rough. It's veneered MDF but it is exposed on the inside which has swelled in a couple of place where water has got to it. Without starting from scratch and making a new panel...

Hi, The silicone seal at the back of my bath is leaking. I have redone it a couple of times and it never seems to work. Is there something better I can do? Thanks, Mick
