    I've heard of sealing tiles before you grout them to prevent mould growing between the grout lines & on them afterwards. Is it something that goes between the tiles or on them?

    Not yet, just flickin thro the channels the other night & Handy Andy was doing some tilin and he briefly mentioned something about sealing tiles before you grout.
    Only reason I ask is that the ensuite shower has some mould growing on the grout, so I'm gonna spend next weekend trying to remove this mould with the grout and re-grout and put new sealant all round the shower tray.
    If I can do anything else to slow down the mould coming back, it be be nice.
