Our fresh design principles, coupled with modern manufacturing techniques and carefully selected materials mean we are able to deliver mass-manufactured, robust, water-tight seals that have universal fit and an indefinite life span. As with any DIY job, preparation and planning are key. Remember that the sealant will need around 24 hours to properly dry and become waterproof, so make sure that you factor not being able to use the shower into your plans.

Wipe away any excess sealant with a clean rag before it dries. If you accidentally get sealant on your tiles or shower tray, use a small amount of isopropyl alcohol or acetone to clean it up while it’s still wet.Read through the instructions on the sealant before you start so that you know how long it will take to cure and how to get the best results. Buy a hygienic silicone sealant of good quality. It should specify that it is suitable for use in bathrooms / wetrooms and contain an anti-mould and bacterial additives such as Kerakoll Fugabella Eco Silicone Sealant or Kerakoll Fugabella AM Silicone Sealant, which are both available from our sister company UK Tiles Direct. Thoroughly dry the shower tray area with paper towel or allow the shower tray to air dry for a couple of hours before applying the silicone sealant, which will not adhere properly should any moisture remain. Easy to fit and coming as a complete kit, the ShowerSeal Ultra 10 products are guaranteed to keep the mould away for 10 years and seal the tray in perfectly ! We have various sizes available for you to choose from too. TeleSeal’s unique design enables it to be fixed to existing tiles or below new tiling, TelesSeal can even be fitted to misaligned tiles and deep grout joints and still provide the seal as desired. Strips are provided with pre-cut mitred ends to minimise installation time.

Step 3: By its nature, a low-profile shower tray has no room for pipework between the base of the tray and the floor, so you’ll need to remove part of the floorboards to make room for these. Remove loose deposits and surface dust with a vacuum then, with a damp cloth that has been soaked in a mixture of warm water and mild detergent to remove any stubborn deposits, thoroughly clean and dry the area where the silicone sealant will be applied (the shower tray surface and tiles).Whether you are resealing the shower enclosure in the bathroom at home or you are a contractor planning on sealing showers for a large development, the best advice we can give you is: Once a smooth, uniform bead has been achieved around the shower tray, do not be tempted to keep smoothing the silicone as it will start to tear, look untidy and may not adhere correctly. 10 – Allow the silicone sealant to dry fully Step 7 - Get a kettle or jug of water and pour it down the shower drain to see that it all flows through without any drips or leaks. We know that not everyone has the luxury of a freestanding bath and that many modern bathroom designs will incorporate over-bath showers that also require sealing. When sealing a bath, follow the preparation advice above but remember that there is one crucial extra step you will need to take before reaching for the silicone sealant.
