Hi all,
We have a dilemma here. We had a new bathroom installed just over a year ago and, after a few months, the sealant around the bath started to go mouldy. The bathroom company came back to reseal it and, yet again, the problem's back after a further 3 months.
We have of course been in touch with the bathroom company who tell us that, now the warranty period's over, it will be a £100 call-out to re-do it yet again! Of course this is totally impractical with the continuing problem. We could do it ourselves, but why should we every 3 months or so when we've paid out thousands for a new bathroom?
The sealant is Bond It Premiere Sanitary Silicone Premium Grade Fungal Resistant (25 year guarantee and the “very best” we’ve been assured), which the bathroom company have given us a free tube of, but which we're loath to use again. I must say that the company concerned have been very good in the past.
The bathroom company have told us we cannot use bleach, or anything stronger than washing-up liquid in our bathroom, as anything stronger could ruin the bathroom panels we have throughout, hence our quandary.
We've also rung the sealant company about their "25 year guarantee" and they admitted there are all sorts of get out clauses attached to this.
Can anyone suggest a sealant better than this one which might prevent this problem occurring again, or anything else we can to prevent the problem?
I'd really appreciate any ideas on this.
Many thanks,
Mimi
