Hi all, thaught the plumbers amoungst us would know best answers for this one...

One bath Installed...

Over shower installed...

Shower screen installed...

Right, tiled down to bath, and gouted up... including the 5mm gap around from tiles to bath...

Should I now silicone around the bath to the tiles?

I did silicone the bath to the wall so i know I have a watertight seal between wall and bath.

Would just the waterproof grout do the job?

If i do silicone, then how long before i can use the bath / shower?


Cheers guys n gals

1. 24 hr. 2. take your time and dont stop along each side. use fairy liquid on your finger to smooth out. dont put too much on.i.e one nice continuose beed.

fill the bath full of water and silicone.

I'll do that with a plastic one, but I recently put a steel one in, no need to fill bath.
