Bathroom Sealant Can Create a Quality Finish for Your Bath

Bathroom sealant is specially formulated to work effectively to seal the gaps around your bath and sink. This type of sealant contains inhibiting chemicals which will prevent the growth of mould and keep your bathroom looking clean and bright.

Why you should use Bathroom Sealant

If you leave the edge of your bath unsealed then water will leak down the sides and pool on the floor. This can cause a number of problems including flooding, mould, rotten joists and damp patches on ceilings beneath bathrooms. It will also make your bathroom look unfinished and untidy. You should seal around your bath and sink areas with specially formulated bathroom sealant to prevent future problems.

How do you Seal Baths?

There are two main methods used by professionals to seal baths. The first method is to use bathroom sealant strips known as flexible caulking. This is a very easy method of sealing the gap between the bath and wall, but it may not as durable and long lasting as silicone sealant. Silicone is the second method available to seal your baths and sinks. This is available in canisters and all you need to do is squeeze a small amount of this silicone into the gap between the bath and the wall. This type of sealant is a similar consistency to toothpaste. It does dry quite quickly so you will need to work fast to get it in place. Silicone sealant can be very durable but it may not as effective as caulking on larger gaps.

Silicone Sealant Application

You can apply silicone bathroom sealant with the applicator provided on a pressurised canister. This can be a bit tricky as the silicone will come out in a constant stream and you will need to have steady hands to direct the flow. You could also use a special gun tool. The gun method allows you to apply a consistent pressure and this ensures a more even application. You will simply be able to run the nozzle along the gap between the bath and the wall as you compress the gun handle to apply the sealant.

The secret to a professional looking finish with silicone bathroom sealant is smooth application. Try to avoid squeezing out too much silicone as not only will this make a mess it will also be a waste. Apply the sealant in a steady line and then you can use a finger dipped in a little bit of washing up liquid (this stops it from sticking to your skin) to smooth the sealant bead. An additional benefit to smoothing out sealant is that it will prevent bacteria and dirt from accumulating in any gaps or uneven sections.

Whilst you are working with bathroom sealant make sure you completely dry the two surfaces you are sealing before you begin. Bathroom sealant repels water so will not stick properly if applied to a wet surface.

Bathroom sealant can provide a professional finish to new bath suites. It will also block the gap between your bath and the wall and prevent any water damage resulting from leaks.
