My experience as a reasonably new house owner leads me to believe that the
trade use the cheapest. They don't care if it goes mouldy in a year and
crumbles in two. I have had to spend days digging out poor quality failing
silicone. So how would you value your time? - how much extra would you be
prepared to pay to avoid digging out and redoing the job in a couple of
years?

There seems to be two kinds of silicone - that which produces an acetic acid
smell and that which is water based. But I don't know which is best.

How much should I be paying for a decent tube of silicone to seal
around basin and bath?
Screwfix have tubes ranging in price from 2 pounds to over 8 pounds.
At the top end of this price range are you paying for the "label"?
What brand do people in the trade use?

Thanks
