The silicone around the three year bath insists on splitting very slightly
in different places.
I have replaced it three time in as many years with decent stuff.
Used meths to clean dry surfaces. Bath is secure and was 3/4 filled with
water before I put the new silicone in.

Appreciated.

I used Teleseal 10 but that was because it is impossible to stop
movement in my shower tray. It has so far survived for 3 months.

Thanks.
It looks a bit bulky. Price is about the same though.

Not used that, but I've had good results from this

Stuck down with Nail N' Seal.

I would suggest that the bath *is* moving, otherwise with a good quality
product, it would last OK. Probably all you can do now is add support
between the base board and the floor, especially if you use it for
showering. Ideally the whole length of the edge should be supported on
installation, but as I say, I guess it's too late for that now ! :-(

Taa, but the bath is *not* moving.
I have had two people stood in it whilst I lay on the floor peering under
the bath using a torch.
The bath is actually screwed to the wall.
Thanks again.

Perhaps then, the gap's too wide ? With a quality product and stable
wall and bath, most people find it satisfactory. Not trying to be
awkward I assure you !

The walls were tiled by a pro. The new bathroom, kitchen, new boiler etc
were fitted by a bloody expensive and nit picking heating engineer.
The entire house was more or less pulled apart when we moved in.

Cheers for the help, all houses have a few niggling problems.

I gave up on the silicon sealers around the bath years ago. I used the
angle strip which comes in a roll. The only thing is you must start
with a clean surface and you must use a small roller to get enough
pressure onto it to make it stick and seal properly. It sticks via a
fairly thick none setting mastic, which has enough flexibility to all
for slight movement. Ours has been on for quite a few years now, no
cracking, no leaks, but it has become a little discoloured.

And cat **** will improve the smell of the Pounder household. Perhaps if
Pounder removed the coal and ferrets from his bath the silicone sealant
would not perish quite as rapidly.

Well what do you expect if you spend three years at a time in the bath?

How do you get to pay utility bills in arrears? Given the fondness for

thieving buggers owe me a fortune on all of mine.

OTOH, the way energy prices are increasing and the way interest rates
give you little else to do with spare cash, it's not such a bad deal.

Indeed. Oil I pay up front.

Both mobiles are pre-paid.

Electricity is DD monthly, so its a mixture.

SIP phone is pre paid.

Only arrears are standard phone and internet..paid 1 month in arrears IIRC.

Just do what I do. Give an overestimated "customer reading" just before
winter and pay the summer rates for your winter gas and electricity. A 10%
increase on gas and electricity over the winter is ther loss.

For some unknown reason my readings are always accurate when the meter
readers come round.

They send me a bill for the previous quarter, I pay it.

Are you paying them by Direct debit?
