Quick ask for help! I noticed that there is a slight leak from the pop-up bath waste I have. It's more noticable when a bath is emptied than say, when the shower is run. From what I can feel, the water is leaking from between the underneath of the bath, and the big round sealing washer...

Hi, our bath taps are leaking (through the holes where the tap fits through the bath) problem is we cant get under the bath to remove the taps. Is there anyway of sealing the taps without unscrewing/removing the taps?

My new bath is higher than the old one. Is it OK to leave the tiles in place and fit the bath against them and then seal the gap?

In a previous post, I explained that we'd bought a shower bath, at the moment the 2 doors just sit against one another and don't seem to join very well so we thought if we got a magnetic seal down the edge of the door it would be more effective.....unfortunately I can't find where you can buy...

I just bought an 1800x725 bath, I'm going to enclose it on 3 sides with stud. But the bath only measures 1790 along top of rim, flaring out slightly to 1794 at the underside/lower edge the rim lip. So is the 1800 given in the sales spec the length of the alcove required to accommodate bath...

when i had my bath fitted after a few months i noticed the ceiling below getting damp, i re sealed the bath surround with unibond sealer and after a few weeks the sealent has come away from the bath, a friend told me that i would have to take the bath out remove the bottom row of tiles and...

We've just taken the old bath out and found it was channelled into the wall. Is this the way a bath should be fitted??? We thought we'd fill this channel in and tile the wall behind where the new bath is going, then use a sealing strip. Is this the right way forward?

hiya, when sealing the bathtop to the tiles in our new bathroom, we will use silicon sealant. What can we use to take off the excess silicone to leave a nice finish ? Thanks in advance for any advice

Hi All I have a wall that is out which i was hoping would be covered when i instal my bath. The bath strip that I have is one of those ones that you can tile up against. The problem is that its 2.5cm wide and the distance i need it to cover is around 3cm. Any ideas? Extra wide strips available? L

Hi, I have fed the new 40mm waste pipe into the original bath waste stack outlet. the trap is connected to the bath and any amount of water will not leak and drains away from the bath. However just as the bath empties, the waste drips from the stack opening. I think the seal in the...

the previous owners have dropped the shower head which has put a split in the bath about 2 inches long and is a few mm wide and has been siliconed up although it isnt sealed which means we can only have showers short of replacing the bath can i get a patch for it that will seal it properly?

Hi all, I have a problem sealing my bath tub. Basically the problem is that the gap between the tiles and the tub is too big, normal sealant isn't working as the gap is too wide. I bought some white sealant tape from b and q but it wouldn't stick to either surface and ended up coming away...

1. Do I need to seal the inside of a bath shower screen where the chrome plated plastic mount meets the wall on the inside i.e. vertically down the side here? 2. And should I do it on the opposite side too i.e. the outside of where the mount meets the tiles? Note: It feels like there is a kind...

The overflow in our bath,It seems to low in our bath and most of the water runs out when I get in, I`m not terribly overweight so it isnt my fault, it all just seems to shallow can i raise the overflow higher up the bath, and will i be able to seal off the old overflow that has been fitted, in...

Hi all, I've removed all the old silicon from our bath as it was mouldy. I thoroughly cleaned and dried the tiles and bath, filled the bath up with water. I have a very small gap leading to a much wider one (about 8mm) at the tap end. Before I start to apply the silicon do I just fill the...

Hi all, Have got a Realm corner bath and the taps are to be fitted along the front so no obstructions and easy access Question I have is how do I ensure I do not damage the bath or overtighten the taps while ensuring a watertight seal between bath and tap?

My bath is corroding badly on each corner and cannot afford yet to replace. Have bought a liquid to bond rust and hopefully put a seal over it to stop it getting worse. The owner before me has used squirty sealant over it (between bath and tiles), am I correct in thinking I ought to somehow...

Hello Is there any thing I can use to get rid of mildew from the sealant around the bath/shower without affecting the seal?? Or do I need to reseal the whole bath?? Thanks Steve
