5017706771252 2.8 m Flexi Seal Strip

Delivered on time and in perfect shape by Amazon. Great service as usual. Product is as described. I have used one of these previously on a bathtub that subsequently never leaked in all the years I owned it (over 6 years). So it was a no brainer using it again. There is nothing worse than trying to sort out a shower or bathtub leak after all the tiles have been installed. Traditional silicone and grout is inadequate in my opinion. You always need a bath seal of some description and undertile bath seals like this one that are invisible once tiling is done is the most discrete way to achieve this. Adhesion is ok provided you install it correctly. The glue strips works like a contact adhesive-- i.e. it is a one shot deal that you should try your best to get right first time. If you install this badly repositioning it is difficult as the strip does not have shear strength and will peel from the rubber. Installed correctly this is not a problem. Make sure you degrease the bath edge properly before applying it as well. I used the provided alcohol swab which worked fine.

The backing for this is very good but let down by it's 'stickiness'. I applied it to a shower tray after thoroughly cleaning the surface with the provided wipe and had to leave it overnight before fitting. The following morning half of it had fallen off.

There are very polar views on this product. My experience was that this is a really good product. Easy to install on a shower tray and will go a long way to ensuring the key area around the tray stays water-tight. I’m sure professionals will scoff at the unnecessary expense (a tenner?) but if like me you’re installing yourself then you can’t take too many precautions against leaks.

Absolute rubbish not fit for purpose.. I am a professional builder and plumber with 25 years experience. I bought this sealing tape for a shower tray install as I couldn’t get the one I usually use from my usual supplier so bought from here instead and knowing the Mx brand is usually ok I figured this kit would be ok... it’s not! The membrane itself is fine but the adhesive tape used to stick it to the tray is not fit for purpose, it’s simply double sided foam tape that doesn’t work, yes it will stick to the tray but the membrane can be simply peeled off the tape which defeats the object, also being a foam tape in the event water does penetrate the tiles it will simply encourage mould to grow expanding the tape over time and then it will leak. Don’t make a costly mistake using this particular sealing kit it’s no good..

I bought it but ended up using Mapei seal around a bath. Much better idea and allows one to use CT1 to glue the bath to the wall. The Mapei tape makes such that the wall is water tight to the bath with a 90 degree angle from the downcoming wall to the bath. For the other reviewers, I suggest using the Abacus Elements wall board rather than plasterboard. Its not cheap but you will save in the long run with a profession finish.

I recently bought this seal for use on a shower tray being installed with MDF wallboards. First thing to note is that it was a cream colour not blue. The adhesive bit can't successfully be repositioned once it's been put on so take care to get it in the right spot the first time. I used a wallpaper seam roller to press it around the tray. Because the sides of my tray taper inwards, once it was bedded onto mortar, I put some mortar down between the wall and the tray/seal, level to the top of the tray, just to support the seal around the edge as once the boards were fitted, I knew there would be pressure on the adhesive joint as the rubbery bit is pulled backwards to the wall. The instructions tell you to make sure silicone sealant doesn't come into contact with the white adhesive seal bit. This is easy if using tiles as the tile adhesive isn't a problem, however, with wallboards that I was using, sealant is necessary. I was tempted to put sellotape over the adhesive just to form a barrier between the two but the installer wasn't having any of it :-( The silicone was about a cm from the adhesive strip and may or may not have been pressed onto it. Hopefully it's ok though. The two installers working on this thought I was mad and the strip is a waste of money but having previously had a leaking shower, I wanted to try everything possible to avoid future leaks.

Great product. Easy to apply and gives waterproof seal that I am confident will last. Just follow the instructions for good results, then tile over the top, down to within a few milimetres from the shower tray and finish with silicone sealer to look great.

perfect to add a tile upstand to shower trays to give an extra water tight seal , make sure to clean surface with alcohol wipe that is provided and all will be good . not as good as they used to be with blue backing rubber as they don't stick as well to the new white seal , saying that these are my go to seal for fitting shower trays or baths to give a good water tight seal ,
