Sealing around a bath

For a clean, waterproof, and safe finish in your bathroom, choosing the right sealant is crucial. With Soudal Bathroom and Kitchen Silicone, you won’t need to worry about maintaining hygiene around your sink or shower. It’s designed to work with most common bathroom materials, ensuring long-lasting protection, though it isn’t suitable for natural stone surfaces.

Instructions

1. Clean and dry the sink unit

Remove dirt, dust and grease with a degreaser and a clean cloth. Thoroughly dry the sink unit.

2. Tape off the joint edges

Use masking tape to neatly tape off the sealant edges. You will then work nice and straight. Make sure that the joint both on the wall and on your sink unit is 5mm wide.

3. Open the cartridge

Cut the top off the cartridge with a safety cutter. Turn the nozzle on top and cut the end slanted. You get the best result if the opening of the nozzle is just as large as the joint you want to fill/seal. Put the cartridge in the caulking gun and squeeze the handle until sealant appears.

4. Start sealing

Place the nozzle where you want to start filling. Squeeze the handle and move the caulking gun over the joint in a smooth movement. Apply sufficient sealant everywhere to ensure that the product adheres well.

5. Smooth and remove the tape

Wet your finger or putty spreader in a soapy solution or using Soudal Joint Finish. Smooth the joint and immediately remove the masking tape. Smooth carefully again to smooth away any protruding edges.

6. Rinse with clean water

Use a plant sprayer with clean water to remove soap residues.
