    Hello All,

    I have noticed the the grout where the bathroom tiles meet the bath seems to have developed cracks.

    Would anyone have and recommendations about the best way to seal this; I'm thinking about using Silicone, any thoughts???

    Silicone. Make sure its cleaned with methalated spirits before applying the silicone. If you mess up the appliaction you can always use a bath seal later.

    If you decide to use silicone fill the bath before you put silicone into gap that way you get a better seal.

    Use Tec 7 it cast a little mor than silicone but will never leak very few trades men will use silicone these days, it will peel off just a matter of time.
    If the job was done righi there should be a rubber seal its about 6mm wide behind the bath/tiles so should not leak either way

    Thanks for all the replies folks.

    I'll pick up a tube of the TEC 7 Silicone and seal it up....... I see the where the shower trays also meet the tiles is the same so will use the TEC 7 there too.

    Thanks again
