hi there once again, just a quick one, I've used all different brands of silicon, but recently used Mapesil AC. After six months got a call back to say silicon is coming away, when I applied it both bath and porcilane where clean and dry. What are your thoughts on this, I've recently picked...

We have a bath/shower with tiles on the walls around the bath. On the wall side of the bath the wall is partly recessed with a tiled shelf connecting the bath to the wall (photo attached). The tiles on this shelf are cracked near the join with the wall and water is leaking through them. We have...

Just been round to a job where the plumber has installed a shower tray and siliconed up the edges against the backerboard (Marmox type - unsure of make) - all fine, except he has smeared it into a thin layer approx. 30mm up all the way around. Planning to tank the shower using Mapegum etc...

I thought that would get your attention chaps!! Loads of questions about siliconing.. Who does it, who doesn't? Who won't? (its not the tilers job??) Who can't? Who charges extra? Are we expected too? Who avoids it, coz they hate doing it.. Who thinks we don't need to? How long did it take...

Hi. finished a Grey Limestone wet room last week. All good everyone happy. Bathroom fitter just called, he has Silicon the glass screen in in clear Dow Corning and the stone has stained 5mm out from the edge of the silicon. The stone was sealed with 2 coats of stainstop. He said he used water...

Just finished tiling a bathroom in travertine. The grout used was Bal Jasmine. I started using Bal Jasmine Silicon sealant only to be told by their tech support that none of their Bal Silicon sealants are suitable for travertine due to the fact the acid content eats the stone :yikes: So spent...

Hi, The silicon around my bath and up the walls has not stuck to the Fila Colour Intensifier and it has just peeled off, making the bath leak around the dilicon. can anyone suggest a silicon that will grip to the product or another solution for sealing it? Thank you, Jackie (Glasgow)

Trying to figure out how to fix a leak problem which seems to stem from a badly tiled shower wall (dabs of adhesive not complete coverage), would it help to rake out the grout and replace with heavy dose of silicon sealant? Obvioulsy the sealant is much softer than grout but I can't think of a...

Can anyone recomend a neutral silicon that is readily availible over the counter, Because no shop around here seems, to of heard of it.

Can anyone on this forum please help? Part of the beautiful white silicon seal around my bath has turned pink! Can anyone suggest what I could do to remedy this, short of replacing the seal (which I'm loathe to do since its only 2 months old). Any helpful suggestions would be gratefully received.

I have just finished tiling a three wall matki shower enclosure with glass mosaics. There are two vertical corners, and three horizontal corners. The horizontal corners of the shower tray have a lip and the tiles overlap this to provide a seal. Do I have to put Silicon along all these edges...
