Silicon, always. a heavyweight customer, + water will cause the bath to drop (even a battened bath) and once that happens water will seep under the bath seal, Silicon is flexible. of course you could always get the customer to sit in the bath, with water, whilst you tile, but personally i like a clear area when i'm tiling.................

always Silicon far more professional. just take a bit of time to get nice cutts. Silicon before i tile and after. but sometimes bath sinks to much with weight of water plus person in it. hmm i feel a new thread comin on. bye

Just replaced a bath for a customer due to seal failure, I have seen them fail so many times and cause leaks it.s amazing they can still sell them.

Hi gents & ladies. This is me 1st reply so here goes.
As part of the bath/shower seal post I see none of you guys (& dolls) have seen or used the Tele seal 10. This is the daddy of bath sealers. Been using it for the last 3 years and never had a problem or one leak yet. The 1st one I fitted was my parent’s house and it’s as good today as it was 3 years ago, with no colour loss or leaks. Would use this over Silicon any day. It gives a better finish than the old Silicon.
