Vikrell® Bathing Fixture With Dry-Block™ Seal Leak Repair

Overview

  • Repair front corner leaks in Vikrell bathing fixtures with Dry-Block seal.

Recommended Tools

  • Safety Glasses
  • 100% Silicone Sealant
  • Fine Grit Sandpaper
  • Conventional Woodworking Tools and Materials

NOTE: Use colored 100% silicone sealant to ensure against leaks. Use of latex, acrylic, or other caulks is not recommended.


Remove the Damaged Material

  • Cut away the damaged wall material around the seam between the bath and side wall. The cutout should be at least 2” (51 mm) wide and 4” (102 mm) long.
  • Clean the surface of the seam with fine grit sandpaper to ensure a good bond with the sealant.

Apply Sealant and Replace the Material

NOTE: Make sure that the seam is clean and dry before applying sealant.

  • Apply a continuous bead of 100% silicone sealant to the first 4" (102 mm) of the seam, across the front edge of the wall panel, and up 1" (25 mm) of the tile flange as shown.
  • Replace the wall material and restore the wall finish.
