Seal all joints that could possibly leak in shower area around bath these are the vital ones

James · Answer

What I would do is seal the stone, then grout it, wash it clean then seal it again

David · Answer

Right around the bath. Around the shower tray and sink. Even flexi grout can crack when you stand in bath and there is a bit of movement.

Hi there, if you use a good quality grout then you don't need to do anything else. 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.

Sean · Answer

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.

Robert · Answer

I would recommend a good clear silicone bead around the floor edge as wall tiles meet floor tiles also any corners in bath/shower areas.

Stefan · Answer

The Best way îs to fill all the gaps with grout and the corners with silicone

Alaa · Answer

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.
