    Travertine - Re-sealing and 'polishing'

    Just been asked to re-seal a travertine tiled bathroom - I tend to avoid this sort of job like the plague but with the way things are at the moment I don't think its commercially wise to turn anything down. Anyway I've never done any resealing so am a bit out of my comfort zone. I'm assuming...

    Shower Cubicle Grouting/Sealing Question

    When grouting a shower cubicle, I understand that the corner wall joints and shower tray joints should be sealed with Silicon. Should these joints be grouted first and then sealed with Silicon, or should they be left grout-free and the whole joint be made with Silicon?
