    Default Sealing border

    I have a natural stone mosaic border which will need sealing, just out of curiosity, do many seal this on the wall as I have done in the past or seal them before they are fixed?

    Thats great, I will do that as this is my own bathroom I am doing in the new year which is quite a large project with knocking walls out etc, so I trying to get as much done as possible before I start.
