filling bath to Silicon

[Mike Strutter]

i thought id kill 2 birds with one stone,,decided to fill the bath ...with nice hot water,,proceeded to take my clothes off and got in it Silicon gun in hand,,was gonna phone the owner of the house who was down the stair and ask her to bring me up a cup of tea but i felt this was maybe taking things too far..any thoughts peeps?

If the owner was fit you could've got her to strip off and jump in for you, explaining of course that it's necessary for you to check that the bath wasn't going to move as she would be the main user :lol: :lol: :lol:

I Did My Sisters Bathroom(who Was Annoying Me) So I Filled It With Cold And Told Her She Had To Stand In It For An Hour, She Lasted Five Mins.is That Justice Fir Her Putting Me In The Window And Pulling My Pants Down When I Was A Kid?i Think Not But Was Funny!! Sometimes I Fill Sometimes Not!!! But Always Advise Customer To Put Extra Bracing Under Bath As These Cheap Ones Tend To Move.

If the bath is fitted correctly, it will not drop. If Classi Seal is used it will not leak. The problem for some tilers is that they do not know the standard of workmanship of the plumber therefore it can be an unknown situation that you have to deal with.

Oversized baths can be another problem. Two man baths (Whoever thought up that name?) can only be sealed while standing in the tub, unless you are Stretch Armstrong, so they have to be done dry.

This joint is classed as a movement joint under BS5385. Rather than type a long post, the www.sealuxportal.com has a FAQ list on the left hand side of the screen. Some of the questions there may be of interest.

An issue one might consider is that Silicon exposed to the shower environment deteriorated, attracts a bio-slime and looks bad. Sealux offer several alternative solutions (on the same portal) that conceal the Silicon from view and the shower environment allow great flexibility without tearing or de-bonding.
