What is a good white sealant ? - I bought one only to find it was water
based so I haven't used it in the shower zone.

So is concrete!

I want a good vinegery sticky old fashioned white sealant to do around and
under a cubicle and tray.

Any Screwfix recommendations?

What you have is acrylic. What you need is silicone, preferably sanitary
silicone. Screwfix have several.

Pay a bit more for the mould resistant ones while you are at it

That's what sanitary silicone is, it has a mould inhibitor.

The trouble I found with using silicone is that once you open the cartridge it will harden in the nozzle after use, even if you think you have sealed it properly.

I came across a polymer, Evo-stick's multipurpose 'Superior to Silicon' sealant. It claims to be superior to silicon and completely waterproof. I have used it for a shower with good results and it doesn't harden in the tube.

There's no need for it to smell of vinegar to be genuine silicone. However,
if you really want it to stink, look for the word "acetoxy cure" on the
tube.

I always put a 4" (or thereabouts) piece of brown packing tape round the
nozzle end, like a flag, when I have finished and wiped the nozzle with
toilet paper. If it does 'go off' then it is only usually a small plug in
the end which can easily be removed by using the gun or picking out with a
panel pin etc.

Unibond Power Shower sealant is good in this situation - also for sealing
uPVC windows prone to condensation
