Please could anyone help, I have been suffering terribly with mould growth on the silicon between my shower tray and wall. To reduce the risk of this happening again, I've decided to try ceramic quadrant tiles, this seems to be easier said than do. I cannot seem to find anyone who will supply these tiles.
Does anyone out know a supplier who has these ceramic quadrant tile available.
Thanks Mike

Moz, how will tanking the wall prevent mould on the silicone at the lip of the shower tray?
The better (smoother) the silicone is applied, the less areas/cavities there will be for water to sit and mould to grow.
I recommend re-doing the silicone seal as good as you can and keep it clean. I generally do the seal around our bath/shower every year to keep it looking clean. Doesn't take long to remove the old stuff and apply new.

lol @ Nige F

I recommended tanking as the substrate sounds damp
