Fitting a new baty that has been sealed numerous times.
Want to get it done properly this time.

It's currents sitting against 250mm plastic cladding that goes behind the bath not brought down on to it and not a clue what sealant has been use (loooks like caulk in some parts!!!!)

Anyway.
New bath which will be sat on Barton that is screwed/sealed to wall.
Cut the cladding back so it sits in nicely on batten and goes under cladding and a run is sealant along the edge of bath that will touch the wall.
This is where I'm looking at a hybrid.

Once all set and secured up will test for leaks as I've seen this happen on the vertical joints in 250mm cladding.

If I find any leaks on the vertical joins I seal them and over clad and space it so new cladding it's central over the old. (125mm of the existing).

Any sealant on show (the final seal) i will use Dow Corning as i know it seals and stays white.

Wnat hybrids can I purchase local?
Stixall seem to do a well rated one with goood reviews.

Cheers
