Sealants/adhesives/Hybrids -Fitting anyone using 'hybrids' to secure/seal to walll?

[bilabonic]

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

Just make sure bath don't move.
Should sit on battens and also add leg going up wall from floor to wall batten.

Silicone along the bath.
Use the correct silicone for a bath. If the silicone is not the correct one it won't stick properly.
If the water gets past the first line of silicone your doomed..
If silicone starts to fail over time renew it.

As for the polymer grab mastic do you need to use?

Do it with the bath full of water.

So you will be sealing the edge of the bath to the final wall covering and that covering is cladding? I'm not sure what's meant by cladding here, cladding is usually exterior and made up of vertical T&G panels and the widest of them are usually around 250>300mm, you do get interior panel of course but that certainly wouldn't be behind the edge of a bath and only down onto the bath edge.

Want to get it done properly this time.

If that's what's meant here then I would be cutting the cladding up above the edge of the bath, certainly wouldn't be sealing the side of the bath onto cladding and expect it to stay watertight over the longer term. I would also never use that type of wall covering if the bath is to have a shower.

Or BT1?- have never used BT1 but I have noticed that in dark bathrooms (ones without much sunlight), CT1 may yellow in time.

I ain't that invested mate
As long as it sticks and seals... And you can paint it x
