    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.

    Yep, same problem here. Had to strip it back, which is a cow of a job depending on what was originally used.

    Clean the mould off with bleach or whatever, and then reapply the correct white, mould resistant silicone with a caulking gun. The "gun" will cost you about $5 and the silicone about $15. Any hardware store will have what you need.
