Removed a cack sealing strip to find there's about an 8mm gap between one edge of the bath and the tilled wall.

I need to know the best way of dealing with this before i spam sealant round the bath.

I presume it needs filling, but with what?

Thanks
Nathan

I was thinking along the lines of some sort of flexible filler for the gap, with a small amount of silicone over the top. Or mabe using some sort of beeding?

Sealing strip always seems to be a bit of a bodge to me.. I don't like the way it looks!
 
what ever you use needs support, if not it will fall down the gap, that is why people use sealing strip

Good old Nestor...;)

She saves the day again ....:)

you could try a length of white plastic beading mind , looks nice
 
Go to Topps and get some Quad tile pieces. They would sit very nicely along that gap. You get an adhesive tube with some of them which is water proof.
