Is there a bath sealant system that exists that actually lasts more than
about a year? I have tried stick on strips (very poor), corner tile type
strips with sealant (better) and good old thick branded sanitary sealant
(from tubes) to seal the small (c. 2mm) gap between my plastic bath and the
wall tiles. But inevitably after about a year a small leak will develop. Has
anyone a recommendation of something that lasts a lot longer?

By the way we do use a shower in the bath which will find any potential
leak! I have checked and there is hardly any movement in the bath due to
floor flexing. Ideas gratefully received.

Thanks

Attach the bath permanently to the wall using something like solvent
based gripfill. Keep the bath full of water as it cures so it fixes in
the "full" position.

I find that 12mm plastic quadrant (buy it from plastic facia board
suppliers) is cheap and very effective. Just bed it down on good
quality silicon.
