Best way to seal a bath

[tomatokinglover]

Hi - real DIY Newbie question here.. was going to use some homelux plastic seal under my tiles (bath already siliconed to plasterboard). then It struck me wouldn't it be better to tile up to the bath - put another later of silicone between tiles and bath then add an 'over tile' bath trim http://www.homelux.co.uk/Pro-seal-BathTrim.asp thus giving me an extra seal?

Any advice on best way to seal appreciated..

deffo. fill the bath, get into your speedos and seal whilst getting wet.

my ex`s bath leaked like an old siv. i fitted thes trim tills in the corner which remedied the problem.

There is only one way to do a really good bath seal in my experience and you need to forget all that rhubarb about using silicone, etc. because eventually it fails. I fitted a TeleSeal kit around three years ago and would now use nothing else as I have tried various methods over the years including that Homelux rubbish and TeleSeal beats them all.
