Whats the best way to seal the gap around the top of the bath. as the wall isnt true there is a gap of up to 10mm at some points. i intend to tile down to the edge. I've used the tile trip stuff, with a flexible edge but still end up with water penetration and a bit of mould. I also pump the...

I am new to this and not sure where to post my question but I would be really grateful for help with a problem I have with my bath sealant. I have plastic cladding on my bathroom walls and a plastic corner spa bath. My husband has sealed the bath many many times but the sealant keeps coming...

When tiling my bathroom I couldnt get a seal like this -=>http://www.sealux.com/images/products/sealux%2015%20pro.jpg to fit due to the shape of the edge of the bath (it just wouldnt sit in when i tried to fit it). It seems my only option now is to seal between the tiles and bath with...

I bought a Mcalpine bath waste and it comes with a rubber seal. One side has two very thin ridges where the other one has 4 thick ridges on it. Which way goes to the bath and which one to the waste? It feels more natural the thick ridges on the waste face but what do you usually do?

Hi everyone, I have used rigid Homelux after fit bath seal before and want to use it again. I can find the lengths of sealing strip but can't find the corner pieces and end caps anywhere. They're great and work well. Has anyone found/used an alternative brand of strip that has matching corners...

Hi all, currently in the process of replacing plasterboard around bath/shower with Jackoboard waterproof tiling boards, and will be putting new bath in next week. I’m wondering the best way to get a watertight seal between bath and the boards, prior to tiling. There seem to be many different...

I recently re-sealed my bath as the water was getting under the old sealant. I did everything I should: removed all the old sealant, cleaned it all up, filled the bath with water, applied the new sealant (using masking tape to make sure I got the bead perfect) and let it cure for a whole week...

I have a bath tub that I replace the bath seal about once a year as it keeps deteriorating. What would cause a seal to deteriorate? I used unibond bath sealant. Is there a better product out there which will stop me having to replace the seal once a year?

Bath sprung a leak this morning where the sealant has got damaged (scrubbed too hard cleaning it!). Manifested itself with a wet ceiling below! Took the side off the bath and it's definately from the area which I suspected. Been out and bought some new sealant and will apply it tonight...

Hi, Well what I thought would be a simple refresh is turning into a right can of worms I am replacing the sealant around the shower/bath and to do it properly I decided to move/lift the tap. I have had a hell of a job undoing the nuts for the tap but I have also found that it is leaking round...

We've got a bath with the sealant strip that sits behind the tiles. Over time it seems that the bath has dropped a little on its frame (prior to us moving in). It never leaked but looked awful so we filled the gap with silicon. Now looks good but somehow has created a leak. Now I'm thinking we...

We have a shower screen above our bath. It is detached from the bath & can swing inwards & outwards. It has a slide on plastic seal on the bottom of the screen which stops the water from leaking out over the edge of the bath. The seal has now cracked and we are trying to find a replacement...

I need to replace the waste for my bath, I think I replaced the old one not that long ago but its rusting and falling apart. I seem to recall that the last time I replaced this the seal between the bath and waste was a pain to fit without any leaks, the bath isn't new so doesn't have a nice...

Hi The mouldy sealant between my bath and adjacent tiles was starting to peel in places so I replaced it with fresh silicon. Following instructions and advice on this forum I used my finger to smooth out the bead and masking tape to neaten the edges. I don't think the tiles were...

Hi guys I am renovating my bathroom. The waste outlet kit for my bath tub comes with one rubber seal for the overflow. Does the seal go on the inside or the outside of the bath tub? Thanks for your time.

When removing silicone and resealing a bath. Do I need to also remove the bead that goes up with wall from the base of the bath and the corner of the room where the tiles meet?

I had a leaking bath waste and it was dripping from the waste - where it connects to the underside of the bath. This has been in place for approximately 10 years. This is how the seal looked and I thought it would be worth replacing this. Tried at City Plumbing and Wolseley. Both wanted to...

Hello all. So, I had a very short time to get a shower plumbed in. I couldn't sink the pipes behind the wall because the genius that boarded the room out didn't batten it off despite my asking them to. In any case I ended up cutting a hole through the tap end of the acrylic bath, and...

Hi, I recently had a new bathroom fitted and although the bath has been resealed a thousand times and left for at least 48 hours, the seal always cracks, water seeps through and drips into my dining room downstairs. Does anyone know what I can do to fix the problem, because the cowboys who put...

I've got 2 baths where the triangle shaped plastic trim has lots of mould around the silicone seal. Looks similar to the one in B and Q below. https://www.diy.com/departments/diall-white-pvc-self-adhesive-bath-seal-trim/1442957_BQ.prd?B/R_Tile_Trims_S_BSA_D I've tackled the 1 bath and cleaned...
