Thanks for the video! I bought my first home in 2023. Whoever did the bathroom in the house used grout in the corners of our shower. The grout has now cracked, so I've taken it out and will be applying silicone. Never done it before, so this was extremely helpful!

I’ve been putting off the task of resealing our bath for 4 years (since we moved in!) and I was half inclined to just get a handyman in to do it as I was scared of doing it wrong. This video (and your other video on removing sealant) were so helpful - you explained each step really well and gave me the confidence to have a go myself. It took me several hours to do but I’m pleased with the results, so thank you!

Nice one 👍 I can't stand going behind taps 😫 you have to know when to stop when doing this sometimes don't you, there's been a few occasions when I got it looking 95% good and tried to get one little bit then made it loads worse! Haha I always get through a load of toilet roll when I do my sealing 😂 only use wipes sparingly as they're more expensive. The no nonsense wipes from screwfix are always on hand though ✌️

@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE 2 года назад

You need to shop in Aldi, 50p a pack for wipes. I pinch them from my boys room! You're right about over working it, too much and it goes lumpy.

bro, hands down the best beginner diy caulking tutorial video i have seen...getting ready to caulk today for the first time so i have been binging this past week on tutorials...thank you. One question, wont putting a screw in the tip mess up the tip for the next time you are ready to caulk by potentially making it bigger or making the sealant come out "screwy" (just a though i had today but i have seen this trick on other videos). I'm probably overthinking. Thanks for the video!!!

If I am a diy man and had a new bath I'd be asking the fitters why they have done half a job. If i need to seal it. Something I did recently after the kitchen floor replaced and they didn't seal and didn't even bother re fitting the bottom of the cupboards. Its almost like because there is a lack of skilled tradesmen I should be happy for a non complete job. Trades in uk are taking a liberty with the customers. Thanks for your advice tho. Going to now finish a job I paid a apparently reputable company to do. With your advice I can go do it.

Well not sure if you've seen my latest video, but I had a rant about exactly that with a window fitter! Video here in case you'd like to watch it - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jsoSjwEkWXI.html. Best of luck with the sealant.

@mzaalam 6 месяцев назад

Sometimes the bath sides drop when a human steps in so it’s better to fill the bath then do this. The silicone sets with the bath dropped as much as it’s going to - so when it is stepped into it has less chance of breaking the seal under the bead.

@barrycrump6189 2 года назад

These profiling tools only work well if the tiles have been laid very evenly and flat. Also, if the gap between the edge of the bath and the tiles is more than 5mm then you will be left with a huge wedge of silicone. In this case, use the good old finger & masking tape technique with a finger dipped into white spirit to get a nice smooth and even finish. Lastly, if you have to silicone vertical walls as well, it is best to do these first and then allow it to dry overnight before doing the horizontals - this way you should get a much neater corner. In case you're wondering, silicone does stick to silicone just like sh!t sticks to a blanket.

@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE 2 года назад

Thanks for the feedback 👍

@Chanmantroop10 Год назад

Yup. Not sure where the silicone doesn't stick to silicone came from as it obviously does from my own experience.

Profiling tool… or lolly stick. I’m new to DIY and watched loads of vids on sealant. The best tool I’ve seen used is a lolly stick. It leaves a decent amount of sealant behind so both sides of the join are covered with helps eliminate getting water behind the sealant and thus helping to eliminate the pesky black stuff and also looks finished well too.

@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE Год назад

Give it a go and let me know. I'm sticking to the profiling tool! Thanks for watching 👍

Came on here because I'm having a right nightmare applying black sealant on white tiles. When I go over it with the tool it is spreading the black everywhere and when it first happened I thought oh I'll just wipe it off and clean it up as i go but obviously when i go back to wipe off the excess it ruins the neat line and it is a nightmare to get off. Ive been watching so many videos and everyone seems to have a neat line when the tool is used whereas i have a neat line but the sealant just spreads out. No idea if it is because of black sealant - i dont think so! Anyway ... Ill continue watching videos to find the answer lol

@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE 2 месяца назад

Did you have any luck? I wonder if there's something on the bath tub reacting with sealant causing it to spread? Or wrong type of sealant? Hope it worked out for you.

@DubSalvation 6 месяцев назад

Dear Pouse, I have a vertical bead of sealant in the corner of my shower running from the ceiling to the base of the shower tray. I need to replace this bead of sealant along with the bead that runs along the base of the shower tray. Does it matter which one I do first? Many thanks.

@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE 2 месяца назад

I'd do the horizontal first then the vertical so a clean bead will run down over the horizontal ensuring water runs off nicely. Any small ledges of sealant coukd hold water which over time could start to go moldy. Hope that helps 👍

There is a great deal of good advice in this video, but there is a commercial element in it, as in many others. I needed to renew the sealing in my shower cubicle, it was leaking. I'm no DIY expert & followed to the the letter the instructions in this video & two others, results poor. Scraped the 3 poor results out & tried an anamalgam of all 3, perfect! Here's how to get perfect results: Scrape out the old sealant & finish it with a hard toothbrush, make sure all surfaces are bone dry with a good hair dryer. Now we're ready to apply the new sealant: have a small bowl of warm soapy water in your cubicle & plenty of newspaper to hand when you start; (you'er on your knees here,) don't stream the sealant, dot it every one centimetre or so; then spread the sealant with your finger wettet in the warm, soapy solution; you will find it clings to the surfaces, spreads easily & fills the gaps...job done!

@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE Месяц назад

There's no commercial element to the video. It's not sponsored and I state that other tools are fine. I do have amazon links in the description but there is no obligation to buy through these links. It's just how I do my sealant. Hope that makes sense 👍

@nigelthompson874 Месяц назад

At last! He suggests white spirit! I’ve been doing that a few years now. Couldn’t understand why the product suggests turpentine. Isn’t that an oil? Why would you want oil under your silicon. It does not dry fast and probably leaves residue. Methylated spirit an option, but it does not dissolve old silicon and soap.

Our tap is almost touching the tile due to the addition of tile backer boards used to square poor solid walls. Really not looking forward to trying to make a good job of it behind the tap because the silicone is going to have to go over the tap pillar
