    FG, I think the only thing you can do is take off the silicone, clean and resilicone. It looks disgusting doesn't it? We have it here and am thinking about just stripping it all off. We have white tiles and was thinking of using white silicone instead of clear as may not be able to see it so much when it grows back.

    Yep, nothing left for it but to resilicone it! Annoying though!!! But it is a sign that your silicone is no longer doing the job properly and allowing moisture behind it. Good luck!

    You are actually meant to seal bathrooms in white silicone... so ask them to re-do it in white.. No more grotty mould!

    You will have to re-silicone it. There is a bathroom anti-mould silicone which I have used. So far so good.
