sealant

I recently got a handyman/plumber to replace the matt black plug/ waste in the bathroom sink and am not necessarily happy with the aesthetics of the sealant work. Is this good work & what I should have expected or is this bad work. For reference the previous waste had no white sealant. The...

Hi all I am renovating the bathroom. We have a freestanding bath similar to this...

Neighbour replaced the guttering at the front of his house, and when it rained heavily, water dripped down on to the brick party wall below, at the guttering join. He said he would fix it. Be careful what you wish for! Rainwater now drips onto just our side of the brick wall below, through a...

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...

A few months ago, we purchased a Victorian property and noticed that the sealant around the entrance steps had failed and needed replacing. I have removed the old sealant, which appeared to be something like CT1 or Sikaflex. Now, I am seeking quotes for resealing the steps but have received...

Hi Recently our bathroom shower has been leaking water into the hallway below (just a tiny bit of water randomly not everytime we shower). This happened over a year ago and we had a guy redo the sealant and it stopped. Today I finally got round to redoing the sealant. But as I started to remove...

Hi, Around 6 months after painting our walls I've noticed some sealant / adhesive coming through around some shelving and a window. What would be the best way to resolve this? I'm looking at some Benjamin Moore 'Fresh Start' primer as from memory the primer we used was a big ol low cost tub...

I had a walk-in shower installed just under a year ago and the sealant on the outside of the shower screen has gone mouldy. In fact, it started going mouldy some months ago, which seems a bit quick to spoil. The mould is behind/inside the sealant and is along the whole of the screen. The tiler...

My bath/shower is lined with plastic splashback panels. The sealant around the bath is getting mouldy and it seems like the gaps between the panels are as well (I've attached a picture). I suspect that water is getting inbetween the panels. If that's the case I can remove the existing sealant...

Hi, I've a shower cabinet with some leak (water droplets ) to the room downstairs. I was fairly certain the sealant is at fault - tested by just letting water go in the shower tray - no leak. But If I spray a certain point where the door closes (seen in pic 2) I get water drops which becomes...

I took the back off my 23-/24-year-old Indesit WG1130TGT washing machine as the drum was either jerking round or not going round at all. I noticed that the back of the outer drum, which contains the wash drum, had been leaking from around the bolt heads as there was washing powder residue...

Water is getting into our conservatory and has ruined part of our windowsill. The water pools in one corner. Somebody advised me to apply CT1 to seal the gap between our conservatory windows and the sill on the outside to stop the leak. It didn’t work, and now somebody else has said that I...

Hi there Complete amateur so excuse the possibly silly question. 1850s cottage, fairly new windows and frames, cracked sealant causing leak if wind drives rain against the house. I want to reseal the window frame with silicone sealant but after removing g old cracked sealant I am faced with...

Looking for a recommendation on a sealant please. I've just replaced an old outside light. The new one didn't come with any gasket! What's the best sealant for a metal outside light on brick. Can acetoxy cure be used or will it react with the brick or metal?

About a year into a new bathroom, the silicone started peeling away from the bath and getting mouldy. It gradually detached along most of the length of the bath. I've put this off for a while but now decided to try and tackle this myself. The bath is Carronite (acrylic) so I wondered if maybe...

Need some help in identifying the colour silicone we've got in our kitchen. Long story short Mrs wanted to use dc fix then changed her mind after I'd taken off the silicone in preparation :mad: We thought it was brown but when we looked in wickes brown was too dark. Could it be buff...

I was wondering what forum readers would suggest to fill in horizontal gaps between a front door step and the door. They are not huge gaps. I think its just caused by shrinkage as the house is about 60 years old. I was thinking something along the lines of a mastic sealant as I want to be easy...

So I just had a new chipboard floor glued and screwed in after adding noggins and levelling the joists. There are gaps between the edge of the chipboard and the blockwork, up to 15mm. There is a gap between the dot and dab wall and the new floor of up to 40mm high amd 30mm deep and also the void...

Just fitted a large and heavy stone shower tray onto a mortar bed. I forgot to run silicon sealant around the edges, before tanking with liquid latex and adhesive repair tape from Aquaseal. The tape overlaps onto the shower tray, making a waterproof seal all around it. Do I now need to cut the...
