quote: no need for a bin, just fill the bath up we have about an inch tile at end of bath, looks good. just need to make sure you dont have it low lying obviously so the water will shed off it | |

And as far as your 1 inch gap goes , Im surprised with him being a plumber that he never told you just to fill the whole thing with silicone ? :lol: | |

yeah exactly that, not so much needed if you have a cast iron rolltop bath though :lol: | |

Matt is spot on, the barrel of water will represent the person who will be laying in it, obviously if you fill a bath and sit in it your talking 25 stones of water on average, the bath will tilt and move so if you don't, the silicone will just peel off. | |

Why the bin of water? Can you not just fill the bath? Or are you meaning before the waste is plumbed? | |

Tip: When sealing the edges of your bath, put a big bin full of water in it, then fill it up, seal it when you have done that | |

Bit of decent softwood to fill the gap, mastic sealant and decorate over, job done. | |

i had a 4 inch gap in mine. i just filled the gap with 2 bits of wood and then tiled over it. i'm not sure it would look too good with a 1 inch gap tho. | |

Having a new bathroom fitted and the bath is about an inch shorter that the lenght of the wall so there is an inch gap. What should be done? |
