By the way we used cladding in the kitchen because the walls were so bad and we had a mould problem in one corner which was treated with a paint-on sealant and tests 2 years ago showed it's still fine under the cladding. stevmk2

Re: Does anti-mould grout work?
I cured my mouldy grouting easily - I complained about the state of my bathroom to my sisters when I was away and when I came back they had completely renovated it
. Gonna complain about the Baxi Bermuda like hell next as I'm going away again soon

Removing ALL the plaster and redoing it was a bit beyond me and so was the cost of getting it done and there's also a mysterious 2" pipe embedded in our kitchen wall so I didn't want to take the chance!
Be careful where you put the cladding though - I put a non-cool wall toaster too close - it warped!

Re: Does anti-mould grout work?
In a bathroom I prefer tiles every time to cladding. Tiles are so easy to keep clean and if you keep the room well ventilated and dried out after use there should not be much problem with mould. Window open after a bath/shower and an extractor fan is useful. There is a spray cleaner which will sort mould out anyway - particularly good for the sealant round the bath. There is also a product called shower shine for the shower. Best thing is to catch any problem before it starts to get a hold. Waterproof grout with a mould inhibitor should also help a lot.26-05-2014, 10:51 PM
