Hello all.

So, I had a very short time to get a shower plumbed in. I couldn't sink the pipes behind the wall because the genius that boarded the room out didn't batten it off despite my asking them to. In any case I ended up cutting a hole through the tap end of the acrylic bath, and passing two flexible pipes through there. I sealed it with fast-setting expanding foam and silicon on the top. However the silicon has now peeled away, and its leaking under the bath. So, I'm looking for any ideas for some magical goo that will seal it up. The foam is still in place.

Cheers guys

get some jets from an old jaccuzi - stick them over the holes :idea: you gotta classy looking bath too 8) :lol:
 
lol thanks for the support guys! I'm very aware how crap it is, but as I said I had to get the shower plumbed in sharp. May box it in with some uPVC or some such. I took a picture for your amusement, will post tomorrow.
 
hehe that would be a good idea, except that I'm married - no such thing as romance any more! They might solve the other regular bathroom related problem she causes though :D
