How do I reseal my bathroom glass brick window, also reseal around the bath/tiles

[Caro]

I need to reseal the area between my bath and the wall tiles.  As you can see from the pictures the entire bath area needs redoing.  

I also have a problem with the "grout/cement" sealing between the glass bricks and the window tiles.  This started as a small hill on the sealant area but is now growing and spreading.  

I would like to know the correct products to use and correct use of these.  

Thanks for any help you can give me.

Hi @Caro,

Both areas seem to show quite a heavy build-up of a calcium-like substance. The nodules of build-up at the glass tiles can be chipped away with a flathead screwdriver, and a thorough cleaning of the tiles at the bath should remove those deposits. Once they are gone, you can use a silicone sealant to fill any cracks that water might be leaking out of or into.

You'll likely find that a good scrub down every couple of months should prevent this build-up. We have a variety of excellent general-purpose cleaning products which you can use for this. I'd recommend something like CLR 750ml Bathroom And Kitchen Cleaner as it specifically targets calcium.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hello @Caro 

It's great that you've received excellent advice from @MitchellMc. Just to add to the suggestions made, it looks like it's time to put on a new silicone bead where the tile meets the bath.
