Sealant behind Bath Taps - No Space for silicon gun

[tnarg999]

Hi,
I need to re-seal behind the bath taps, but the gap between the taps and the tiled wall is very tight. You can't get a standard sealant tube close enough. (Gap between wall and taps is approx 20mm)

Does anyone have an ingenious tip to get around this? I thought about making an extenstion tube, but this would lead to a lot of waste. Has anyone seen a product for this in their travels?


Thanks & Merry Christmas!

Everyone I know always removes the taps first!

Have extended the nozzle with a short length of this at the right size, works well.

Simple just add a short piece of rubber tube about 8mm dia. to the nozzle,

insert the nozzle into the plastic casing of a bic ballpoint pen, a bit of tape to

keep it in place and away you go .

have a look here http://www.tradetiler.com/acatalog/siliconing_tiles.html swivel nozzles should do the trick, or like already said, remove the taps

Thanks for the replies, very helpful!

I might try those silicon swivel nozzles that Maxsys suggested, otherwise I'll need to find a helper with tiny hands to remove the taps. They should have finished making Santa's toys by now!

Merry Christmas!

Remove taps? Its 10x the job of the silicone.

Just get another standard nozzle and instert in the existing one.
