1 Gorilla Glue 60ml £5.49


100% waterproof, bonds & repairs most materials. It swells to fill every gap & makes it a solid solution. Great all round home adhesive.


2 MitreFast £8.99


Amazing power & speed. Great for timber joints, simply glue the surface then spray the activator, hold for 10 seconds and you’re done. Simple as that.


3 MirrorMate £5.99 Very impressed with this product. Solvent free so it doesn’t affect the mirror backing. Very fast grab and nice to use as it is easily spreadable. Mould resistant so it’s ideal for bathrooms.


4 Gorilla Grab Adhesive £8.99 Very strong grab adhesive as you would expect from Gorilla, also used for gap filling. It’s paintable and even sets under water, win win!


5 Soudal Sealant Remover £8.99 Fantastic product for the job everyone hates. Simply remove existing sealant with a knife, spray what’s left and watch it dissolve. Job done.

1 Unibond anti-mould kitchen & bathroom sealant 274G translucent or white £5.99 This sells very well because it is the brand leader, and also we are considerably cheaper than the multiples.


2 Everbuild general purpose silicone sealant C3 white, clear, black, brown £3.50


Whether you are a tradesman or a DIY person, this sells itself because of the name you can trust and the keen price.


3 Gorilla Glue 60ML £5.50


All the Gorilla and O`Keeffes products sell extremely well. This product can expand even more when splashed with water after applying. This can help fill bigger gaps..


4 Evostick the original sticks like 290ML white and clear £9.99


If you are not sure which product will stick and seal, this will do almost everything. Even sticks in the wet. Like the name suggests this really does stick like!!!


5 Everbuild super glue liquid 3GRM tube £1.20 This product performs so much better than the brand leaders without breaking the bank balance.

Black unsightly mould is the scourge of the Bathroom. Dirt, Skin, and Soap residue coupled with humidity conspire to support mould growth between tiles, on the grout, and on the sealant around the bath or shower tray. However, it does not have to be this way. In the UNIBOND Sealant and Tile Adhesive range there are two products that can remedy this situation and make your bathroom grout and sealant look like new. With UniBond Sealant RE-NEW you do not have to remove the existing sealant. It can be smoothed with the built-in applicator without any stringing and contains the unique UniBond Triple Protect mould prevention formula that is powerful enough to stop mould reforming. If you have mould growth on your grout, then you can revive it with UniBond Grout Reviver. This formulation is easily applied over the top of the existing grout to make it look like new. Again, its Triple Protect anti-mould formulation is powerful enough to stop mould reforming. All you must do is remove the existing mould from the surface of the sealant or grout. A simple wash with bleach using an old toothbrush does the trick. n 01442 278 115 n tele.sales@henkel.com
