That was what we went over the grey silicone with... :) ...obvs the mistake was to go over other silicone...

Thank you. We shall be ringing him tomorrow.

We lifted the silicone slightly with a plastic silicone removal tool - the corner with the leak came off very easily and brought up the small bead of grey silicone attached as per second set of photos. As you can see, the bead of grey silicone was rather small. The grey silicone attached itself...

Hello Nige, Which brand of neutral cure silicone would you recommend...and where would you get this from (if it's not mainstream)? Many thanks.

Mini update: Removal of some of the horizontal sealant showed that we only had a small amount of original grey seal. (please see photos 1 and 2). I'm hoping that we can get the shower dried out and re-sealed and back to looking like the last photo for christmas! Thank you for all of your...

Good Morning, sorry... I'll try to make myself clearer. The leak was first found tracking along the floor vinyl (along the adhesive lines), we tracked it back to the corner in the photo. The water is not leaking over the shower tray, so unable to observe any obvious water leak/ hole. First...

Yes, this was done prior to the panels being fitted.

Thank you. I can't tell you how much of a relief it is that it's unlikely to be the grout. Do you have any idea why the water seems to be appearing from behind the tiles? Our plumber applied CT1 between the shower tray and the wall prior to tile application. Impossible question to ask but if...

Thanks for taking the time to reply....the silicone looks bad because we've applied on top of the original silicone after allowing everything to dry and cleaning with meth. spirits. The original silicone appeared to have a small gap where there was a leak. Pushed it in using a rubber fougie...

Still drying it out with a hairdryer... Feeling under the tile to the plaster board behind - feels dry even though I was testing the leak. I've spoken with my tile supplier and they suggested that by using cif cleaner on the grout sealant will damage the integrity of the seal... is it as simple...

Hi All, I really would appreciate advice on the following; Bathroom was completely stripped back to bare brick. Shower area was created with a small partitioned wall for water pipes to hide behind. Dry lined with water resistant plaster board. Plaster board sealed prior to professional tiler...
