Grouting around tub
We have tile in our shower area. The grout looks bad/loose towards the bottom of the wall (where it attaches to tub). I don't want to put new grout in because it won't match. What are my other options?
I think if you grout you will really have a problem, unless you rip all the tile out and redo it all. What color is the grout and tub? You could use caulk, get caulk that will match the grout or tub. Make sure you get waterproof so that it works.
You can use a supercut type tool to cut out the old grout, (which is recommended in cases like this) put in new and top it off with new caulk to color match. When you put in the new grout, try to put in just enough to where the caulking on top will be flush with the top of tiles after leveling it off.
Yes, I agree that I would put new grout in, the whole area though. You don't have to take all the grout out, just a top layer and then add the new grout on top.
If it's a small area on the bottom of the wall, you might be able to just use caulk.
It is too wide of an area to just use caulk. We are going to have to rip out the grout and redo it. What a mess! I don't want to wait too long though because I don't want the water getting behind the tile and ruining the wall.
