Need something to remove it as it spreading and looks like it's got the pox.
Any easy to use stuff that could spray on, as it's hard to reach, unless actually stand in the bath. It's mould i guess, have tried Cif but it's not working.

I have good results with Dettol Mould Remover.

will try the Dettol, if it doesn't do it, then will have to remove it, that is the last resort though. As i hate jobs like this, never can seem to get it right..
It is excellent, will restore a shower curtain to brand new. However, silicone may be less easy, most likely best scraped out and redone.
If you decide to cut the old stuff out and replace it, use a decent sealant: I just did our walk in shower and was advised to use this:

You can get it on ebay a lot cheaper than retail:

thanks all, will let you know what happens, if i don't appear for the next month i have probably blown the place up and am in hospital..
Yes do be careful if using the mould remover, windows wide open etc.

small bathroom where the window hardly opens....
em, I think I may have misunderstood, I was thinking the pox stuff was on the actual tiles not on the grout.
Question Author
tony, no it's the white sealant in the corner of the bathroom, looks like it's caught the pox, funny enough some of it's coming off with the Dettol mould remover. Stinks to high heaven though.

update,
the dettol stuff more of less works, so anyone else got the same problem you can use it. It does rather pong, so keep doors or windows open.
thanks for all advice
