I am about to retile the bathroom round the back edge and top/bottom ends of a normal rectangular bath. The old tiles were sealed used a run of silicon sealant. I had hoped to use a proprietary bath sealing strip and bought a strip of homelux from B & Q. I dont feel that it would make a very good job though and that if that all there is, a run of silicon would do a better,neater job!!. In my old house the bath seal was a very neat fleaxible low profile affair with a top edge which was fitted under the tiles when they were fitted(it had a self adhesive backing strip to hold it onto the wall whilst tiling) and the lower edge went around the bath and was flexible enough to account for any irregularities. I cant find this anywhere though.
At least if i just silicon it,i can remove and re-do it if it starts looking worn whereas once the homelux strip is in place,its there to stay..
