Bathroom sealant does a really important job: It helps keep your sanitaryware in place and keeps your bathroom water tight. If your sealant becomes worn, there’s a danger of water getting in behind tiles, your sink and bath and causing lots of damage.

Sealant Removal Gel Sealant Removal Gel is usually a thick gel that you coat onto the old sealant; Most brands are manufactured to remove sealant from plastics, ceramic tiles, glass and painted surfaces. You can use sealant removal gel to safely and effectively get rid of and replace old sealant.

Completely eradicating the growth of mould in a bathroom is virtually impossible as the bathroom is the perfect environment for it to thrive. By following our top tips, however, you can certainly stop it in its tracks and enjoy a fresh and mould-free bathroom. Good Ventilation Is key for helping to stop the spread of mould and bacteria.

Bidets were a fixture of many bathrooms in Ireland in the eighties but were ripped out along with the avocado suite to make way for the shower cubicles of the nineties.

But does the bidet really deserve its previous bad press and is it in fact making a bit of a comeback? If you’re still unconvinced about the benefits of having a bidet, read on to find out more… A cleaner, environmentally friendly alternative… Part of the bad press for the old fashioned bidet was that it was unhygienic, but this is untrue.

Looking to refurbish your bathroom but feeling uninspired about what bathroom tiles to choose? Read on and peruse our top seven bathroom tile trends for 2019… Metallic tiles The metallic trend doesn’t look like it’s going anywhere soon, and we can understand why.
