If the silicone sealant around the bath is starting to look zombified 🧟 then it's about time to replace it... The pointed blade on the Metex silicone cutter is designed to dig deeper into the sealant and especially corners, so you’ll get the old silicone out with less scraping and swearing.

You can pick one up on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0HF8Y2FKS

A question we've had about Corefix Strap: "Do they work in lath and plaster?"

They do, as long as there's a cavity of at least 33mm behind the wall for the toggle to open. It's depth adjustable too, taking wall material up to 30mm thick with the 40mm bolt and up to 50mm with the 60mm bolt.

Got a wall you're not sure about? Just drop us a message and we'll help you work it out 🤓

Driveways, paths, patios and slabs all need a bit of grip once they're finished, especially heading into the wet months. That's what a brushed finish is for, and there's two ways of doing it in our new concrete range. 👉

The Concrete Broom comes in 800mm or 1000mm widths with 75mm nylon bristles. The Fresno Broom Kit is 915mm wide and comes with a bull float bracket, so you can adjust the angle as you go, plus two 1830mm aluminium handles that push fit together, and you can also add extra handle sections if you need more reach.

👇 Specs for both are on our website: https://metextools.com/product-category/site-tools/screed-tools/

Is the silicone round your bath or shower starting to go black even though you keep cleaning it? 🙈

Mould loves warm, damp bathrooms where there's not much airflow, and the soap and shampoo residue that builds up on the sealant gives it something to feed on. As the weather turns and the windows stay shut a bit more, that really doesn't help.

Spraying it with bleach tends to just lighten the top, because once the mould's worked its way into the sealant itself it'll keep coming back, so the proper fix is to cut the old silicone out and reseal. Our Silicone Cutter takes the old bead out without scratching the tiles or the bath, and a Silicone Block gives you a neat, smooth finish on the new one without running a finger along it. Airing the room after a shower will help it stay clean for longer too.

The Silicone Cutter's on Amazon now: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0HF8Y2FKS

Got a heavy mirror to hang but no drill? Corefix Spike goes into plasterboard with just a screwdriver.

The drilling wings pierce the board as you turn it and then open out behind it to grip, and each one has a safe working load of 50kg in plasterboard. One of our Amazon customers used them to hang a 45kg iron frame mirror.

There's a couple of things you should check first though. You'll need at least 35mm of space behind the board for the wings to open, and the board itself can't be more than 25mm thick. When you fit it, point the arrows straight up and down, because that's the way it holds strongest.

Old silicone out, new silicone in! 🛁 (https://www.instagram.com/diytomm/) resealed his bathroom using our Silicone Cutter to take the old sealant out and the Silicone Block Pro to finish the new bead.

The cutter is 21mm wide so it gets in behind taps and into tight spots, and it takes the old sealant off without scratching the tiles. The Silicone Block Pro gives you a 4mm or 6mm bead, and its corner design handles vertical joints and those awkward three way internal corners.

Thanks for giving them a go 🙌 The Silicone Cutter's on Amazon now, link's in the profile ☝️
