Flexible Sealant

ERICS_MUM

Can someone please point me in the right direction.

My bathroom is fully tiled and the grouting right at the top of the wall (where it meets the ceiling) keeps cracking and looks unsightly. I've tried filling with the Polyfilla in a tube type stuff but it cracks again after a few months.

Is it possible to get a "filla" that is flexible enough to not crack,?

Thanks

try the silicone type instead. more flexible.
comes in various colors inc white.

ie the type used on window frames.

Decorators caulk is pretty good. You apply it with a mastic gun.

Don't use silicon on where the tiles meet the ceiling - it will be problematic when you wish to repaint your ceiling. You will need a waterproof acrylic sealant. This expands but is also overpaintable

Decorators caulk isnt waterproof and can crack !

Waterproof bath and shower sealant is what you want.

Yes thats true if the gap being filled is too large.

Nope! See Phil99's post above - he is quite correct.
