Silicone colour around shower tray - Tile Advice

[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 silicone around shower tray or
Colour match silicone around shower tray

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 .

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 silicone goes mouldy something’s went wrong

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

Or you’ve applied it incorrectly also

Grout colour match for me!

Usually grout colour. All silicone 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 silicone around tray.
