I did it a few years & mucked it up. (DIY My Style).Time to do it again properly. Do i really need to fill the bath with water!How long to leave it like that for! Once the old gunks removed i clean the surfaces with meths before replacing sealer - is that right! Then have to wait 24 hours to use it! Thanks.

Lol, i know!Someone told me to fill the bath with water first - i think the theory was that the bath moves or something!lol. Anyway. im miles away from that. getting the old stuff off is proving mighty difficult.Grrrhhhh

lol,never seen or heard of filling bath with water. think they were pulling your leg. ive filled the bath when "setting" the bath into place when using expanding foam to anchor it but never when doing sealant

How major is it to get every scrap of old sealant off! Its an old enamel bath with wooden surround. Getting it off the enamels easy.Getting it off the wooden surrounds not without digging holes in the wood. Does it matter if theres some bits of old sealer if i go over the top & cover it completely with the new sealer!
