Me neither, I'm pretty sure that Mapei wouldn't produce a lesser quality product in the same packaging for Screwfix.

They do for there addys at B&Q....

Couldnt say i haven't had any issues with either Silicon or grout from Bal... I use mainly Weber Grout though

I used webers white grout last week, I think its a very bright white, nice to use and smells fine lol

Ive started using benfer grout. Its lovely to work with and doesn't go sloppy like mapei.

Just so you are aware, Bal Microseal (blue tube) silicon has been discontinued by Bal. They will be concentrating on selling the micromax white silicon (yellow tube) in replacement. I can buy it for half the price of the microseal. It isn't however as brilliant white.

went in topps last week and with my discount they wanted £22 for a 5kg bag of Bal micromax grout i walked out disgusted topps and Bal should be ashamed of themselves pricing it at those levels

I had that experience too Gary. BAL don't price it though - Topps do. I pay about £13 at CTD.
Agree the white MM2 is grey and I won't use again unless I need a pale grey!
I like the MM2 though. Takes a bit of getting used to - timing on wash off is critical and it doesn't like too much wash water, but the extra faff is made up for by the fact it doesn't slop all over the place like UCP! (or maybe it's just me?!)
