Sealant remover?
 
Anyone know of a Silicone bathroom sealant remover that can be used to get
rid of the excess "smear" and "dabs" of sealant left on every possible
surface after a blind plumber has fitted your bathroom suite?

Thanks in advance.

I'd have thought so. The solvent isn't very efficient stuff IMHO; you
certainly want to remove as much of the stuff mechanically (ie sharp
Stanley blade) before applying it.

(and here's a free tip - never employ blind plumbers!)

Search for 'silicone remove' (no quotes) on Screwfix, comes up with 3
products.

Sorry - I read the OP's request as:
"Anyone know IF a silicone bathroom...."!

(Answered properly by someone else now!)
