hi peeps,,should i do as above and fill the bath to put it under normal pressure when im silicoming it or does this not really matter? cheers:hurray:
 
Fitted a really expensive bath once where the customer was bragging how rigid it was and would take an earthquake to move it. Tanked it without filling the bath (had it masked up to save splashing primer all over it) Didn't take into account movement in the floorboards which moved the bath when full.
I always fill the bath now, silicon the gap before tiling as well as on top of your tiles.
 
Why wouldn't you bother? its just laziness, u'll end up with alot more work when the customer calls you back to fix the damage.
 
Most of my jobs the plumber has put bath in but no taps, so cant fill the bath, and i never had a problem :thumbsup:
 
work for a few bathroom fitters and they all fill new baths before siliconing baths prior to tiling but the finishing bead is done with bath empty..
