Silicone around bath - what colour to use? Coloured or white

[itidiot]

Using manilla silicone on the external joints but should i use white around the bath, back of sink and the toilet?

the batroom suite is white ...tiles are beige.

What do you guys do?

 

[John Benton]

Always white around the bath and shower trays for me

Usually same colour as the grout... but i see you said toilet.. is it wall hung..?

 

[itidiot]

Cheers guys

it's a back to wall not a wall hung.. if that makes a difference

dont you silicone the toilet?

Same colour as the grout for me, only silicone around the bottom of a toilet, where it meets the floor.

Grout coloured or white around sanitary wear. Customers choice really but I prefer white tbh.

 

[Muse2k8]

Clear on glass and stainless steel (ie shower screens)

 

[Daveshadowman]

I use same as bath colour , clear on glass

[AliGage]

I presumed he meant the corners....good point whitebeam

 

[kilty55]

maybe means the internal?

 

[Muse2k8]

I just presumed he meant internal

I always ask customer first, never assume your taste are same as theirs! Learnt that lesson.

 

[Pro-spec]

always used white

 

[doug boardley]

assuming suite is white, I tend to use white, use same colour as grout for internals, round door arch's etc.

If using white on shower tray, would this not look odd where it meets the internal if using colour, and would the 2 colours not smudge? I tend use the same coulour as the grout.

Tap up your runs before sealing. But if i have two or more shades of sealant I'd do all the sanitaryware etc one day and the following day do the other colour when the first sealant has cured to avoid smudges and mixing.
