Always. Hence the bead of clear over the top. It disguises the crack. 😉

Which brings me back to my original question. If you know its going to crack, i.e fail then why "bond" your Silicon over the top?
Would this not jepodise the integrity of the sealant?
If its clear over grout for colour then use a colour co-ordinated Silicon surely??

40 bathrooms in 5 years, not one with expansion joints......some rough tilers around your way

ok here goes any one that sillcones in the joint or on top of tiling after grouting is waisting your time as it will pull out over time or will pull off the surface in time and let water through so the right way to do this is to silcone the wall or floor joint before you tile then lay tile into wet silcone sealing it behind the tile and the substrate so it can never peel off now you can grout or sillcone the joint and now that there is one layer that will never fail as its pinned in place now thats real tanking at 1 % of the cost
