What is the best thing to do regarding tiling? Is it better to tile first then fit the bath ? Or recess the wall slightly fit the bath, then tile and seal ? Any other comments would be gratefully received. thanks

Dear All, I am trying to source a supplier of shower screen seals as I need to replace my existing shower screen seal as it is beginning to turn yellow. The existing shower screen rests on top of a bath and is sealed using a rubber seal. I have attached a photo. The thickness of the glass is...

Having replaced our bath and sink there is a gap between the floor (which has been raised) and the bottom of the pedestal and the edge of the bath of about half an inch. I want to seal this before putting down the vinyl flooring. What should we use that would allow us to remove the...

After some repairs done (twice) to prevent leaks from the bath pipes, the bath plug no longer closes properly. It was working perfectly before the 2nd leak was fixed. There was a little extra 'play' on the turn so with very slight pressure you could make sure the plug was sealed. I informed...

Hi... just finished installing an over bath shower screen and noticed that it states on the instructions: Just wanted to ask, whey only the outside edge and not both (inside and outside) as i was about to do?? One would think that a double seal (inside and outside) would be preferable and...

Going to use those quadrant tiles you get for edging around the bath. Am i better fixing these with silicone so they will flex with the bath ? MOD moved as posted in wrong forum

Hi All, I've recently removed the panel from my bath to change it and noticed there is an area of crumbling plaster at the shower end of the bath where the screen attaches and the plaster is slightly damp behind the bath. Thankfully the floor doesn't look like it's affected. It looks like the...

I am a DIYer, with no trade qualifications. I have bought an acrylic bath, and a normal waste set (ie not the banjo overflow type). The waste set has a chrome plughole, (which is supplied with a sort of soft polystyrene gasket that goes between it and the smooth inner surface of the bath)...

Who can recommend the best bath sealant? I used a silicon sealant in feburary this year. I took a lot of care and done it by the book i.e: dug out the old sealant cleaned the area, filled the bath up with water before applying sealant, and it worked well up till now. I want something that will...

Hi, not sure if i am in the right thread, apologies if it isnt. We have a bath with a stand in shower. We have a folding shower screen that is prone to leaking (when showering) down the side of the bath, and dripping into the kitchen. The rubber seal underneath the screen is a bit black and...

Hi all, not long purchased our new home and getting on with sorting out leaks, damages and problems before Winter. A problem I hadn’t immediately noticed was this leaking shower tray. Years ago I had a bath with a pivoting glass screen. To seal this I sealed the inside junction between the...

I had Amber bath shower mixer taps fitted to my bath a few years ago and the seal / gasket between the taps and bath is now leaking water onto the floor under the bath. The local suppliers I purchased these from say they don't sell these taps anymore and the supplier they put me onto say they...

I’ve got a McAlpine bath waste & it’s come with the two rubber seals one for the plug (which is the bigger one out of the two in pics) & the overflow. Which way around do I put them as the plug one has one side with loads of lines compared to the other side which has a slight dip with one line...

Having my bathroom upgraded. The bath is a Carronite Neo Classical and the shower screen is a Daryl 053 Triple Panel with a fixed first section and fold out second and third sections. The seals on the fold out sections are substantial to ensure proper sealing in order to cope with the power of...

I am having a new bathroom fitted and have recently plastered walls. I am going to tile the walls but am unsure when to tile. I would prefer to tile before the bath went, tile below the level of the bath and then seal round the bath with a ceramic bath trim, can this be done? I don't want to...

I see that Bette do baths with a short (1 inch?) upstand to tile on. Great idea. No more horrible silicone. Better seal, especially with an over bath shower (like mine). Do any other manufacturers do that? Cheers

What do most plumbers do to ensure the WC and basin joints do not leak. Using the makers rubber seals invariably leak, so silicon is generally used, against the makers recommendations, to seal. What do you guys do when installing showers, WCs, basins and baths? What experiences do you have?

I have a whirlpool superflow jacuzzi bath with a pump of the same name underneath.The ceramic seal and the impellar housing with the same ceramic seal has lost its ceramicness and causing friction preventing the motor from spinning.I've been told I can't get these parts as spare and a new motor...

I need to swap the waste on a bath and silicone the bath to the tiles. If I swap the waste first (I usually use silicone on the bath waste were the base of it touches the bath). Will it effect the waste seal if I then fill the bath with water before I silicone the bath to the tiles?
