✓ Pre-cut 4.0m length - the essential waterproofing solution for larger baths, shower trays and worktops
The Flexi-Seal 4.0m Waterproofing Strip is a professional-grade flexible rubber seal that creates a permanent, watertight barrier between shower trays, baths or worktops and your bathroom walls. Unlike silicone sealant alone, Flexi-Seal maintains a 100% waterproof seal even when subjected to building movement - particularly important in new builds and renovations.

Why Choose Flexi-Seal Over Silicone Alone?
Traditional silicone sealant is the first line of defence, but it has limitations. Building movement, settlement, and thermal expansion can cause silicone to crack or separate from surfaces over time. Flexi-Seal provides a critical secondary barrier that:
- Accommodates building movement without failing
- Creates a waterproof membrane behind the tiles
- Prevents water from reaching the substrate even if silicone fails
- Extends the life of your bathroom installation
- Meets and exceeds building regulations for wet areas
- Prevents costly water damage, rot, and mould growth
BS EN 28510-1 1993 Testing
Flexi-Seal has been independently tested to BS EN 28510-1 1993, the British and European standard for pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes. This certification confirms:
- Adhesive strength and reliability
- Performance under stress and movement
- Waterproof integrity
- Suitability for bathroom applications
- Compliance with building regulations
Installation Instructions
-
Prepare Surface: Ensure shower tray, bath or worktop edges are clean, dry, and dust-free
-
Measure & Cut: 4.0m length is pre-cut; trim if needed for your specific installation
-
Remove Backing: Peel away the protective backing to expose the butyl adhesive
-
Apply Strip: Press Flexi-Seal firmly onto the edge, ensuring good adhesion along the entire length
-
Position Item: Install the tray, bath or worktop with the seal extending up the wall
-
Tile Over: Apply tiles or wall panels over the upstand portion of the seal
-
Seal Base: Once tiling is complete, apply silicone sealant to the bottom edge
-
Cure: Allow silicone to cure as per manufacturer's instructions
Professional Tips
- Always use neutral cure silicone (not acetic/vinegar cure) to avoid damaging the seal
- Apply to clean, dry surfaces for maximum adhesion
- Work in temperatures between 5°C and 35°C for best results
- Press firmly along the entire length to ensure complete adhesion
- Ensure the upstand extends high enough to be covered by tiles/panels
- For P-shaped or L-shaped baths, measure the full perimeter before cutting
When Flexi-Seal is NOT Required
Important Note: Flexi-Seal is not required if using a shower tray with an integrated upstand option, as these trays already incorporate the waterproofing feature. Check your shower tray specifications before purchasing.
Building Regulations Compliance
Flexi-Seal helps ensure compliance with UK Building Regulations Part C (Site Preparation and Resistance to Contaminants and Moisture) by providing effective waterproofing in wet areas. The dual-layer approach (flexible seal + silicone) is considered best practice by professional bathroom installers and exceeds minimum requirements.
