Sealing edge of bath - sealing tape

[Deleted member 126887]

Hi - need some assistance.

What tape do you recommend when doing belt and braces approach to stop water ingress against wall and bath?

I did see:
Orion 10m Waterproof Sealing Tape on victoria plumbing.

Thanks.

Silicone bath to wall, press in and smooth so no voids.
Then tile, keeping a 2-3mm gap between tile and bath.
Don’t allow any grout into this gap, or clean it out with a Stanley knife if you do.
Fill up bath with water.
Finish tile bath joint with silicone, filling gap and lapping up onto tile 2-3 mm at least.
Leave for 24 hours before you let the water out.
This will not leak between bath/wall.
