silicone

Hi just a quick question. Just finish off a bath surround where they want a light grey grout and white Silicon. Would you still fill the gap with the grout where one wall meets the other wall around the bath and leave it like that or would you then apply the Silicon on top or would that...

Hi, I had a new travertine bathroom and shower room installed last year and a lot of black mould has built up behind the (transparent) Silicon where the tiles meet the shower tray and the bath in the showering area. I have unsuccessfully had a go at removing some of the Silicon but it is...

Hi guys ive just finished fitting my own kitchen. We have decided to go for upstands and i have siliconed these to the worktops with clear Silicon. We are going to tile off the upstands. My question is as no water will go here is it best to Silicon or grout the gap between upstand and tile or...

Probably an easy one.. Done a floor, polished porcelain, beige/grey colour with a light grey grout. The skirting boards have now been glossed, and its ready for me to tidy-up the edges, So am I best using: 1) White Silicon or 2) decorators caulk?? I'm not thinking a coloured Silicon...

Hi, I have finished my first (DIY) tiling job, well the tiling part, I am gradually doing the finishing bits. Anyway, I used 60x30 porcelain on the walls. It has a texture to it. I used this on top of the shower tray: I used it because the convex curve was discreet. I don't like the big...

Hi all. New here. I'm not a DIY person but I'm going to have a go at removing some grout (I bought a grout rake today) and either re-grouting, or using Silicon. I've just spent a small fortune on my flat over the last few months, (kitchen, bathroom, central heating, windows, etc) with a new...

Never decided what is best when doing different coloured grouts on wall to floor. Job I'm finishing off is a bathroom fit and have Trav effect porcs on the wall, mosaic glass tiles in shower area and dark coloured porcs on the floor. Wall grout is white and floor grout is silver grey. Would...

Hi, I am proceeding (slowly) with my first tiling job. Floor tiled, all walles tiled, floor grouted. I am about to grout the walls (3 walls of 60x30 and 1 mosaic wall.) However, it is a dormer room, so one wall is only shoulder height... and 2 side walls are 'diagonal' from shoulder height...

Hi i've started to tile my shower enclosure and at the tiles at the bottom next to the tray ive got a gap around 20mm. I've obviously messed up with the measurements as it was only meant to be around 10mm! Is this gap too big to seal with Silicon? If so what would be the best course of action...

Hello, I had my bathroom retiled a couple of weeks ago. Floors were tiled with large square grey tiles with white grout and walls with white brick tiles with grey grout. There are a couple of problems with the work the tiler did: - The grout on the floor tiles has already cracked (hairline...

Any ideas appreciated, ive stupidly rubed it in whilst trying to clean....help :-(

Hope someone can put mmy mind at ease. We had a new bathroom put in a year ago. Travertine tiled walk in shower. I sealed all the tiles before the tiles were placed on the wall and again afterward. The tiler added some ezrr Silicon seal over the grout and of course Silicon all around the seal...

Do you guys always Silicon around the basin pedestal on the floor like you would a toilet? I've done it both ways and can't help thinking it looks better without. Discuss. :thumbsup:

Hi all, It's my first post and it may sound like a bit of a daft question but it is genuine. What did people use before they had Silicon? The reason I'm asking is that I've just got back from spending some time in Italy and, as well as loving food, football and women, Italians love tiles...

Up til now i have siliconed after grouting, but have heard of a trend to Silicon before. which way do you do it?

Has any one any rules/preferences on where colour silicon is used. For example do you use colour match to grout in corners and between tiles and shower tray? If so what do you use around shower screen and tray ? White ,clear colour? I completed a shower today and used white around...
