Hi - What ever is used to put tiles up - inbetween where the tiles are on the wall and where they meet the top of my bathroom sink (space of only a few millimetres) - it is cracked - it is hard yet there is a slight softness - as if at one time silicone or similar sealant was applied over it - whatever it is - and is getting murky, mouldy where it has cracked - what do i need to do to clear this up? Thanks Becka

1.Clean off the existing silicon
2.Scrape out the grout and go up few inches from the mouldy area (possibly to the nearest grout join)
3.Regrout
4.Reseal with a good silicon sealant
5.Have a cup of tea and a doughnut

Personally, I prefer an almond slice, but a doughnut works equally well.5.Have a cup of tea and a doughnut

Thanks for the tips - I think when I do it I will have a doughnut and an almond slice!
