Hi, if its any help I still have a box of tiles, so nothing would stop me taking them off where the grout goes yellow, re tiling with what ever is best or what ever i need to do and what ever grout i need if this would help my cause for a white bathroom, and not yellow.

ah right got you, didnt quite understand but do now, one wall where the shower head is and where the shower unit is, is made up of ply wood with old tiles and new tiles on top, the next wall meaning the length of the bath is a brick wall, with again old tiles and new tiles, i used b and q adhesive and as i remeber unibond grout, which turned yellow, re grouted months later with b and q own grout and adhesive which still turned yellow.

Hope this helps you to help me cheers in advance Jay

hi mate,based on what you have said personally i would rip it out and start again,,right back this time as well. remove the ply if possible and replace with plasterboard,ply on walls can cause all sorts of problems esppecially in moisture laden bathrooms.

also do you have anty ventilation in the room like an expelair as this may also be why your Silicon is turning mouldy as moisture has no way to escape
there are lots of good mould resistant silicones out there
