I'm not sure if this is mold because its not furry its just dark grey stains on the side of the bath, where the bath joins the walls / tiles. its on the grout too. I have rubbed it with bleech but its like the stain is really deep.

does anyone know who to get it off please?

I put Dettol mould remover and leave it for a little while. Only thing is that it is v v strong stuff so open windows and be prepared for a strong bleachy smell. It does work though.

It's mildew/mould.

Dettol may work, but we had to reseal and regrout. Sad

every bathroom I've ever been in has had a bit of it, how do you prevent it? because I think regrouting eveytime it happens would get very expensive and time consuming Hmm
