But, if you want to do it make sure to test it on you're tile before you lay the sealant, so that you will know the sealant doesn't leave stains on the tiles."
Answered on 26th Mar 2020 - Member since Feb 2020 - report"Yes. Use sealant in corners and joints. Use where the tiles meet the bath/shower/basin.
If possible get the sealant in the same brand and colour as the grout. This way it blends in better."
"You need grouting to be done in order to seal it."

Answered on 26th Mar 2020 - Member since Jun 2019 - report"I think sure you need grout between the tiles. This would be sealed at the wall so it doesn't allow the water to get through."
