Bath sealant has separated from the wall most of the way round. I should have known that'd happen when they didn't fill the bath with water before applying it. It only lasted a month or so.
-
@gbrnt oh come on even I know that you have to do that and I'm like, not a DIYer.
-
@kestral Yeah I assume they were just like "we're in a rush, it's easier without, we can get away with it"
-
@kestral apparently with modern silicone and a well installed bath you shouldn't need to fill the bath. But apparently that wasn't the case here! I've now done a really dodgy job of redoing it so we'll see how long that lasts (I'm betting less than a month)
-
@gbrnt kids today and their modern silicone
-
@kestral back in my day we sealed up the bath with mushed up bread
-
@gbrnt you had a bath? YOU WERE LUCKY! In my day we used to get soap out whenever it rained and dance around naked in back yard.
-
@kestral Pff, naked? When I were young we had to remove our skin and scrape off the dirt with our teeth.
-
@gbrnt you had skin?! YOU WERE LUCKY. In my day we carried round our organs in a paper bag, and wind would blow our bones clean off when we went on moors.
-
@kestral you tell that to young people these days and they won't believe you
