Default Wetroom Sealant

I have had my tiling completed a few weeks ago in our Wet Room as well as
another shower Room. I have had problems with sealant either going off
coulour or not providing suitable adhesion before. Our Wetroom also has a
bathtub at one corner. Can anyone recommend the best product to use. The
corner Grout lines I would like to keep thin and minimal.

What exactly are you trying to seal? Are you talking about grouting
tiles (wall or floor?) or around a bath, or what?

Silicone (sanitary grade) is the usual thing to use in most places.
I've had good results with Screwfix p/n 76071 The Dow Corning one is
also very good but Screwfix seem to have stopped selling it (?)

Get a Fugenboy if you're planning to use silicone anywhere though.

Hypothyroidism is a seriously debilitating condition with an insidious
onset.
Although common it frequently goes undiagnosed.
