UniBond Sealant Remover & Smoother

Very good, as described

My whole house has parts that now need resealing, bathrooms, the kitchen etc. I picked this up based on the reviews and well, why use a Stanley Knife or some other multipurpose tool when you can have a tool for every single job you can think of! The Good * The build quality feels nice and solid, theres a little flex in the stick and on the tip of the horn point on the top ridge which i wouldnt want to drag too hard but nothing especially worrying. * There are a features to this, theres the snow plough type end for getting stuck right into existing sealant, theres a horn on the top which you can use to drag sealant out of tricky crevices and then there is the sealant smoother on the other side. * I used this as per the picture to take out some old sealant on the edge of my bath which had cracked, most likely under my not inconsiderable weight stomping in and out of the tub. * Its nice and easy to get into gaps, i didnt use a liquid sealant remover for this little job i just used the tool. I like the sharp horn, it was pretty useful in getting into the gap between the tile and bath. The Could be better * As said i didnt use any liquid sealant remover for this job based on the size of it, if i were doing all round the bath or when i come to other jobs ill probably use the tool in tandem with a sealant remover just to speed things up. * I havent resealed yet, im hoping to drag that into next weeks job list... so i havent used the smoothing edge. * Whilst there is nothing with this little tool at all, as stated in other reviews you could i imagine do as good a job with a sharp stanley type knife. Overall i would recommend this, its a specialist little tool, a good price point and seems to be very durable. Why have one tool when you can have twenty! If you dont like removing sealant and want to make life a little easier then i recommend picking one up. Four Stars.

Works well

Easy to use and helped me to remove the old silicone. However the tool is not particularly robust and the edge is a lot less sharp after using it on three showers. I'm not sure how long it will last. I will probably invest in a tool with a metal edge, but I guess the downside of that is the metal may scratch plastic shower trays. Swings and roundabouts I suppose.

Being woman of certain age this job would not be one I would normally tackle but had someone only a few months previous renew the sealant on shower but it failed within months and I thought I could not do a worse job so had a go. Watched all the YouTube videos and got the basics so ordered this tool and the accompanying paste by same brand and took a deep breath...... and began. This tool worked so far as you can see in the pics, but I am a perfectionist hence the little pliers to really get every last bit of old sealant out (think this is where previous attempt had gone wrong). Took a good while but oh so satisfying if the sealant came away in a nice long strip. I would not have been able to get job done without this handy little tool. I think this tool will come in hand for a variety of other uses too as it is plastic but strong

Good product

Removing old sealant from a bath is a time consuming and tricky job. I've tried hacking it out with a razor and melting it out with a dissolver; neither was successful. This tool doesn't look much. It's plastic, but strong and I found it comfortable to hold. The remover end has a point and wit habit of trial and error I found the best angle to get under the old sealant, push and lift. I didn't use the smoother end on the bath, but I tried it and it seems effective. For the price, this is a useful gadget and not a huge loss in terms of cost if it doesn't work. Overall, it's a clever idea and I'm happy with it.

Was really disappointed with the tool. Removal side is supposed to help cut and scrape away the old sealant but the plastic points completely blunted within about 2 minutes of use removing standard home bathroom silicone. Basically useless and couldn't remove anything effectively. Plastic is not a suitable material for the job - you'd be best off getting a metal tool or using a stanley knife. Cheaply made and not fit for purpose, had to return for a refund. Difficult to use once blunted as you have to use a lot of force to get it to break through the seal.

It is not recommended

The plastic scraper went blunt after only a few hard scrapes. Not worth the price.
