coloured silicone sealant

Nov 17, 2003 7 Replies

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

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.
