Flexible edging / beading

[Donna G]

I have just put some vinyl down in my bathroom. It is not as easy as it looks to lay! I have ended up with a slight gap between the vinyl and the toilet and sink bases.

I am sure i have seen on TV some flexible edging / beading that can be used to bend round the toilet and sink bases to cover any gaps.

Does anyone know what I talking about and where I can get it from? I've tried B&Q and Homebase, but no luck there.

Many thanks

depending on the size of the gap, you could fill it with silicon sealant; the stuff that you put round the bath and the sink edge and the wall....we have done this in our bathroom, not because of gaps per se, but because the kids chuck out so much water over the side, I didn't want it running under the bath so we sealed in the floor around all the skirtings, bath, sink loo etc....and it acutally makes it look really neat!

just a thought, though.

Bath seal strip, for sealing the gap between bath and wall tiles - should be available in any DIY store. It'll do the job.

I think the bath seal is the stuff I have used round the edge of the room (like beading) to help with waterproofing.

It's not suitable for the sink or toilet as it folds (like an L shape) and so cannot be stuck around a curve.

I'm sure I've seen some flexible piping on TV or somewhere.
