Which should you use to seal gaps, silicone or tile grout?

Use silicone where you need a flexible, waterproof joint that copes with movement, around baths, shower screens and basins; the Everbuild General Purpose Silicone is available in white and clear for those applications. Grout is a rigid filler for the gaps between tiles, so the Everbuild Forever White Pow Wall Tile Grout (3kg) is the right choice for filling tile joints on walls. For a typical bathroom: grout your tiled wall, then run a bead of silicone at the junction between the tiles and the bath to allow movement and keep water out.

What does ceramic sanitary ware installation tape do and when would you use it?

Cramer Haro‑Secur Ceramic Sanitary Ware Installation Tape temporarily holds and stabilises ceramic items while adhesives or fixings set, so you can align basins or other sanitaryware without a second pair of hands. It’s designed specifically for ceramic sanitaryware, so it saves you time and reduces the risk of misalignment during bonding. Use it if you’re fitting a basin or similar unit and need a reliable way to keep it in place while the adhesive cures.

How will an applicator kit improve the finish of your silicone seal?

The Cramer Fugi Applicator Kit (3 piece) gives you the right profiles to smooth, shape and remove excess sealant for neat, consistent beads that look professional. It works with the Everbuild silicones included in our range, so you get a clean finish without specialist training. In practice, the kit is particularly useful on visible joints such as around a bath or shower screen where a tidy bead makes a big aesthetic difference.

How do you decide between white and clear silicone?

Pick white silicone when you want the seal to match sanitaryware or white tiles, Everbuild General Purpose Silicone White C3 is ideal for that. Choose clear when you want the seal to be unobtrusive, on a frameless glass shower screen or where a transparent finish suits the design. Matching colour to the surrounding material keeps the finish neat and makes the bead less noticeable.

Are these products suitable for a DIY bathroom or kitchen repair and are they cost‑effective?

Yes, the range targets DIY jobs and small professional fixes, with single items priced roughly between the current product price and the current product price and trusted brands like Everbuild and Cramer on offer. The 3kg grout is sized for wall tile repairs or small regrouting jobs, the silicones cover common sealing tasks, and the applicator kit makes finishing easier. That combination gives you quality materials without buying trade‑sized bulk, so you only pay for what you need.
