Decorators' Caulk used as silicone round bath?

  • Why not ask the "tiler" what product he used?

    BTW did he rake out the previous grout or did he just grout over the top off the old stuff.

    I am guessing that at £300 it was the later.

    I have to agree that I would expect decorators caulk to be soft enough to dig my finger nail into after only a week..

    you seriously think £300 is reasonable to just put new grout over old?

    My bad, I didn't read the original post properly. Hadn't noticed that it was only the tiles around the bath. Sorry

    BTW what was it about their finish that you were unhappy with?
