Problems sealing plastic bath (border tiles fixed directly onto the wall/top of bath) in Bedlington Central
Needed: Bathroom Specialist in Bedlington Central, NE22
Job submitted:Dec 18, 2011
Job description:Hello. I am having problems tiling my plastic bath (border tiles fixed directly onto the wall/top surface of the bath). I have fixed thin rectangular border tiles onto the wall using 'no more nails' glue (this part appears to be ok). I then sealed the bath using silicone (this has been done twice up to now) however the seal between bath/wall/tiles is leaking (this is especially a problem since we live in a first floor flat). I checked this by removing the bath side. I was thinking of putting more silicone on the bath to try and stop this happening however the silicone just shrinkss when it dries and does not always stick to the bath or the previous silicone layer (it looks like it sticks but if you touch it it comes away from the tiles in places). The water then runs through this gap. Silicone was put in the gap between the bath and wall prior to the tiles being applied. We just want it sealed and finished off properly so that I can finish off the bathroom. The silicone may just need removing and resealing properly OR the tiles may need removing if this wont seal them properly. Please can you provide an estimate cost for this job (there are only 12 border tiles in total). It is a standard size bath. Many thanks.
