Seals around the baths

[jimmy495]

What do people think is best to use when sealing a bath in. the seals you buy or Silicon

Silicon is a beter method as those bath seals attract the scum off the soap etc and eventually stinks and they split at the seal point in time as well..........dave..

Silicon every time, if you ever have to renew it its easy, those seals when fixed thats it, you would have to remove tiles what a nighmare.

if you put a seal around a bath - then you have twice as much to Silicon i think.

Peg your tiles up with Rubi wedges, about 2mm, Silicon likes to have a gap to go into, not just a 90 degree angle, thats the problem with Silicon, if you know how it likes to be used, you'll never have problems. Also, if it is a acrylic bath, fill it up with water before siliconing, that way it will move with the eventual weight of water and human.
