Hello to all on the board, I've been trawling through all the brilliant advice & tips but I can't find anyone with a problem like ours.
We had our bath fitted a while ago now and have all sorts of expensive solutions/problems sealing it. Because the nofine walls aren't square the bath was fitted square which we were told would give us less problems with the plumbing and leaks etc.
This however has left us with a ledge around the 3 sides of the bath varying between 3/4" and 2 1/2" at widest.
I have a t&g side panel which the kids throw water down constantly when splashing around with no problems with damp or mildew. Initially we had it mosaic tiled to match the walls but they wouldn't set against the timber underneath, since then I've tried plastic coving shaped bath edging which wasn't wide enough to seal behind the taps but was too wide to sit along the head of the bath. I've tried the flexi seal strip which was pants and I currently have wooden edging similar to quadrant running around it. This looked the best of all the things we've tried but despite it being waterproofed it leaks and constantly gets mouldy.
I was advised by someone to try expanding filler as it's waterproof and then decorate over it knowing it's well sealed underneath. So I've pulled up the edging to find the wood baton is rotten but dry - Do I need to replace the wood before trying the filler as the wood isn't actually supporting anything it's just stopping the bath moving.
Many Thanks
Rosie
