Bath problem
Some time ago we had someone in to replace our bath, wash basin and toilet plus generally tidy-up the tiling etcetera but we soon found out that they'd done a bodge job of it when things started to leak or fall apart.
Early this year we got a proper plumber in to rectify things but a handyman to do some general tidying-up of the things bodged before, including the sealant around the bath.
This had fallen out a month after the cowboys put it in so I did the best I could but it wasn't much better but at least it did seal the bath around the sides.
Anyway, Paul did all the jobs we asked him to do but I wasn't happy about the sealant again and I got him back to re-do it - twice.
The problem is that it's dropped out again and it's because the bath itself seems to drop substantially as it's filled.
Does anyone know if there's a solution to this with some kind of wide sealant "system" perhaps that'll accomodate a quarter inch of movement?
The only other thing I can do now is get that bath ripped out and get our reliable plumber to fit a new one but I just can't afford it at the moment, hence the
ask about sealant.
I've seen that right-angled plastic with rubber edges somewhere - B&Q maybe - but it'd have to cope with this quarter inch drop so it'd have to be stuck to the bath itself, hard up against the tiling I think.
(Is that stuff wide enough? Anyone know?)
Other than that,
any suggestions as to how to affect a fairly cheap repair that'll last until I can afford to get Nick the Plumber back would be gratefully accepted!! stevmk2
