About 5yrs back I fitted our bathroom suite and managed to buy some tubes of
light grey silicone sealant for the edges.
The standard grey found nowadays in large tubes is too dark.
I had to remove the basin a couple of weeks back to fit new taps ( shmbo
wants chrome fittings now ! ) but can't find any light grey sealant at the
likes of B&Q/doitall/wickes/screwfix etc

Have you any idea where I can buy some ?

Do let us know if and when you finally locate some - I need a tube to tidy
up the gaps in some vinyl floor tiles I have laid recently. Light grey
would be ideal, something darker ok after a fashion, but B&Q Depot only
stock ivory and black as far as I can see. They *do* have some exorbitantly
expensive coloured little tiny pots of something in amongst the kitchen
worktop filler strips, etc. I have some black "soot" (it's a grout
colouring) which I have used for grout and pva glue, but I think it's going
to be a right messy job trying to darken up some white sealant.

I found some black at my local plastice supply company, they had a whole range of colours. It was not a brand that you see in the sheds. Its ther only place I
know where to get black from.

Wasn't Trend, was it?

I've just had to splash out rather more than I wanted (£5) on a smallish
tube of black Trend worktop sealant for filling a gap between the new
floorboards and mortar (dyed black) under the slate hearth.

Didn't take much interest in the other colours that they had in, but Mary at
D&M would be able to tell you 'cos that's where I got it from
(www.dm-tools.co.uk).

If you need it again, RS do a range from Bostic and have black:
RS341-0955 high modulus acetoxy cure 3.03+vat
RS341-0983 low modulus neutral cure - 3.47+vat
http://rswww.com

Also polyurethane in black (harder apparently) but at 9quid a pop.

I got black recently from one of the sheds. Can't remember which as it
must have been the first one I went to. Probably Wickes.
