Hi i have just fitted a bathroom suite and now im left with a gap between the bath edge and the wall.Originaly i filled this gap with some wood and tried to seal it with silicone, tiles and grout; but being at the shower end, due to the pipe work being in the way it seems to be leaking.

I've developed a leak from the bathe plughole and I discovered it's corroded and a piece has crumbled away from the edge of the hole. Metal bath. Obviously it's not sealing with the washer underneath. Does anyone know if this is a lost cause and it need a whole new bath, or can this be fixed in...

Hey if fitting a mono block bath tap, is it worth putting a bit of clear silicone on the o-ring that seals the tap to the bath to stop water getting through?

Hi, I realise that what I'm asking is generally not a good idea and you should generally fit the bath first and then tile afterwards, however, we recently moved into a new house and the bathroom was only a few months old and therefore like new. The only problem is that it had a walk in shower...

I have a CTL2 low line bath trap but slightly confused on how to install it. Should the bath waste enter straight down into it or via the 90 bend? There is a seal connection below the 90 degree, is this for the overflow from the bath?

My new bath is fixed and sealed with clear silicone. I am about to fix the bottom course of tiles to finish the job. I left the last course of tiles at approx 10 cm and am cutting to fit (although most of them are exactly the same). What i need to know is - should I cut for a very snug fit and...

Hi Recently picked up a set of mixer bathroom taps, ex display, from a closing down shop. Just got them out and realised theres no rubber washer/seal (what is the correct term?) to go between the base of the taps and the top surface of the bath. Should all taps come with these, is...

our bath has a kind of plastic coving strip around the edge sealing it to the wall. When the bath is filled a slight gap appears along the edge of the strip which touches the top of the bath. The gap is too small to get any sealant into so when we run the shower water gets into the gap and down...

I've just installed a new bath waste in a steel roca bath and I get a leak from the nut after the rubber seal underneath the bath that holds the banjo in place. Is this common or would you rather recommend swapping the bath waste with one that has the overflow molded in it rather than...

Hi I have been using silcone sealer for my bath and am wondering if there are any issues with applying a second application on top of the first one once it has cured completely? Cheers for help in advance Chris

Are the bath wastes with the rubber that in an old in one top/bottom rubber ok? Also were would you add silicone to help the seal. Thanks

I have put 12mm exterior ply under bath, what would be best to seal the ply or to make it a bit more water proof?

I have a bath with a jet system fitted which is never used. Given that the bath is in as new condition was thinking of removing the motor and pipes rather than renewing the bath. The obvious snag of course is how to seal the holes. Is anyone aware of an available product such as white plastic...

Hello. We've just moved house, and the bath we've inherited is a P-shaped walk-in bath, no idea of manufacturer (although it might be this one or similar...

Hi there. The overflow on my bath leaks whenever the water reaches it and soaks the ceiling down below. It's a twist bath plug mechanism and I've attached a couple of photos to show. Looking at the overflow it's only plastic. Should there be a rubber seal on it, or some sort of seal, and how...

I wonder if you can give me some advise. I installed a new bath with Clicker waste. I had two leaks, 1) first leak from the bath trap / clicker waste seal. I fitted a new o-ring and gave it a few more turns seems to be OK. 2) second leak appears to be coming from the backnut/ clicker...

I have a corner bath. the back part is supported by the leg type arrangement, however the front (tap end) is not (was not installed by me) The bath has always struggled to keep a silicon seal due to very slight movement (wonder why?) Nearly finished a refurb and intend to have a tiled bath...

Hi, fitting my new bath, the waste that goes between the plug hole and the turny overflow thing comes with rubber seals, do I need to silicone these also please? sorry for the newbie question.

Hi I need to seal around my bath before I tile. Says on this site that you can use twists of soaked newspaper to fill big gaps between wall and bath before using sealant. Should I wait until the paper is completely dry before I seal or is it ok when it is damp? Don't want to encourage mould...
