One of the two tilers I used doesn't grout corners and leaves it to be siliconed with colour matched silicone. The other tiler didn't, but I am inclined to silicone the corners there too.

 

When the walls are white tile & grout and the floor is grey tile & grout, what is the convention in terms of silicone colour for the joints between floor and walls? I assume I use the same colour silicone as I am using in the wall-wall joints, so white.

 

In another bathroom, I have grey tile & grout on both walls and floor. That leaves me wondering about the joint between the shower tray and the walls (and floor too). Also up the shower cubicle edge strips (chrome).

I used same colour as the grout.


I meant to say the grout is the same as the tile colours so have now edited it to make that clear. In the first room I mentioned, it's white grout on walls and grey grout on floor. The other room has grey grout all round

I think the main quandary is what colour silicone to use on the white shower tray, chrome shower enclosure and white toilet when I have grey tile grout on the floor and walls. White feels the natural choice, even if it does create corners that have grey silicone coming down the wall and then white silicone going along the tile to shower tray joint. White feels natural against the white shower tray, but white between the chrome enclosure rail and grey tile is less obvious.

 

The grey tiles have Weberjoint Ice Grey grout and I've got the matching silicone:

Grey silicone on white sanitary ware would irritate me more than white silicone on grey tiles.   Done well the white silicone could look like part of the shower tray and almost disappear from one’s notice.
