I have just recently moved into a flat about a month ago and my neighbour has come us and told us she has water dripping into her bathroom. Since moving in I’ve noticed that the silicone was lifting from the bath and we have re sealed it, we’ve tried a border around the bath which didn’t work...
I am attempting to fix a leak in a DECK-MOUNTED SINK MIXER KITCHEN TAP. During the process, I noticed the soft pad between the sink surface and the tap was in a bad way so I cut off the bad bits. I reinstalled taps, tightened all and siliconed around the tap top surface. There is water making...
I knew the silicone around my window needed redoing so I’d planned to do this when redecorating. However when taking the wallpaper off, it seems the windows have been sealed to the brick work using silicone, and the previous owners have covered crumbling plaster/holes between the window and wall...
I have been researching this via Youtube videos for the last few weeks and am a bit confused as to how you tidy up the silicone once you have your bead laid down.

Hi all,
I'm currently undertaking a project to redesign the way in which caulk and silicone sealant is packaged due to the unsustainable nature of the rigid cartridges most commonly used.

Hi All,
Just bought a house with an ensuite in a fairly recent extension. The room is tilted with posh marble tiles and has a walk in low level shower tray.
The tiles are long thin rectangles, may be 3" high and 24” long. Because the tiles are thin and the height of the tray, the first row of...
