Silicon colour around shower tray

[GoneGuy]

hi guys just a quick question,
I’m tiling a bathroom 600x300 and grouting with Mapei cup silver grey.
What would be best finish in your opinions?
White Silicon around shower tray or
Colour match Silicon around shower tray

 

[Time's Ran Out]

White to shower tray.
Silver grey in corners.

I think there is an argument for both . Maybe best to ask customer what they prefer. Providing you don't smear white all over the tiles or grey all the tray it will look fine either way .

 

[Andy Allen]

Same as TJ.......

I personally prefer colour match to trays and bath. With some tiles it just looks too 'plumbing showroom' using white. Customer is better off making the choice unless they have left it all for you

Black so that the mould doesn't show.........

If your Silicon goes mouldy something’s went wrong

Yes normally customer to tight to run extractor fan or doesn't like the noise it makes .

Thank you gents, I will give the customer a choice although they changed there mind in the layout 4 times and that was Monday morning before I unloaded the van

99 times out of a 100 white around a bath and shower tray

Or you’ve applied it incorrectly also

Grout colour match for me!

Usually grout colour. All Silicon will go discoloured eventually if it doesn't get a quick wipe down after use and hardly anyone does that.

Thanks everyone, just let you know Customer has gone for white Silicon around tray.
