...is not an issue (to cause leak)? Opt2: Fill the gap with grout (a kind of support), and then silicone over the top. Opt3: Use a bath sealant strip, or timber batten, or PVC edging (used for windows to seal to tiles) first before silicone. Opt4: Adjust the fixing feet (under the bath)...

Got a phone call last week asking if I could tile a bathroom and fit new toilet and wash basin. Went and looked at it this morning and have quoted for the job. Seems the original people she had in fitted the bath and then disappeared! They told the lady that the bath was to big and so...

I have a bath which protrudes 200mm from the end wall, with a window at the opposite end, which caused problems in finding a suitable screen for the shower. We found a 7 panel screen from B&Q which fitted perfectly but now the white seal has gone quite black in places and my wife wants it...

Having trouble with my L shaped bath which has a very heavy glass screen for the shower. Basically we had a leak so i took the screen off and put some seal at the back of the bath, i let it set and then tested it, no leak, I put the screen back on and it starts leaking at the back of the bath...

Hi, My mum has had a new bathroom suite put in and my brother and me are doing the retiling for her. My brother started this but he put a thin baton directly on the bath and started the first row of tiles from there, this has left a gap of about 14mm between the bath and tiles. The guy's...

...(they are circular - not hexagonal) have been finger-tightened with a variety of pressures. I was going to use clear silicone bath sealant which has been left-over from work on the bath, but I remembered that a professional carpenter I know uses this for fixing architraves (where I...

Hi everyone, my first post if anyone can kindly help. I had a new bathroom installed about 5 years ago, the is seal/trim applied between the tiles and the bath is a behind the tile type trim which overhangs onto the bath to create a water tight seal, which it has not! I have tried sealing...

I finished tiling my bathroom, finally! Is it better to seal the gap between the bath and tiles with silicon first and then grout? or is it better to do it the other way around? Thanks for your advice

...waste pipe needed tightening. We finally had time to look today and the bath around the plug area seems to leaking. The seals etc are dry the water is definitely coming from the built in bath seal that is already there. Question - will we need a new bath or can it be repaired???? (fingers x'd)

Hi. I've taken off layers of peeling old paint from a bath stone window sill. Without the paint there's now a gap at the bottom of the window. Should I seal this or leave it open? Thanks

My bf mentioned last night that when he was having a bath (horrid new plastic bath - long story) a gap appeared round the edge of the bath between the bath and the silicone, as if the bath had sunk lower than the silicone will 'give'. Once he was out of the bath looking at it from above you...

Please help me to seal this bath before it drives me totally mad! 5 years ago i had a new bathroom fitted by the council. The new bath didnt really fit where the old bath had come from so in typical council style the bodged it with a row of tiles laid flat at one end of the bath to bridge...

I've had a new shower screen installed over my bath. The rubber seal is inadequate as the flap at the bottom needs to be longer to make a proper seal, I have to physically adjust it to make sure it's bending flat against the lip of the bath. I can change that for another one, but the main...

I put this in the wrong section earlier so here goes again... have installed bath. Tiles NOT on yet. Aim to seal around bath, then tile, then seal again. will of course fill bath before filling/sealing Problem is that we have one edge of about 30cm that has a gap between wall and bath of...

Do I have to fix the bath first or can I tile the whole wall then push the bath hard up to it and seal around the edge. What is the difference?

Hi, Had to replace my bath waste/trap recently and only when emptying a bath it drips. Showering and filling the bath is fine which suggests the plug and it's seal are ok. It's almost as if the gravity of a full bath is causing the water to overflow in the trap and come back out. It's a...

Don't 4get that when a bath is filled with water and a body it naturally is going to move. Don't use ordinary silicone - Try using SEALUX bath trim and SEALUX sealant instead - it allows for movement and you should never have to worry about leaks - Really worth checking out their products...

I've been fitting a new bathroom suite and I thought the bath was done and dusted a few weeks back ... but ... I checked today and discovered that the seal between the shower mixer taps and the plastic bath is not watertight and it leaks through to the underneath of the bath. I've already fitted...

I've been struggling to find a seal washer that I can buy to replace the one which is leaking on a bath which was fitted about 9 years ago as part of a BioJet System 100 Spa unit. Not sure if it's a Whirlpool brand or not. This is a picture of part of the removable stem and sealing head...
