    Problem with white silicon seal - parts of it have turned pink!

    Can anyone on this forum please help? Part of the beautiful white silicon seal around my bath has turned pink! Can anyone suggest what I could do to remedy this, short of replacing the seal (which I'm loathe to do since its only 2 months old). Any helpful suggestions would be gratefully received.

    Grout or silicon first

    I've just finished tiling my shower and was wondering should I silicon first before grouting? In the past I've always grouted first (leaving the corners un grouted ) then siliconed. This was my first attempt at brick bond so please be gentle.
