Grouting the Edge of a Shower Stall

The tiles that make up the surface of your tile shower have to prevent water from getting under the floor and into the substructure. The tile itself is completely waterproof, but the edges of the tile, where they are separated with spaces, is not. This is where grout comes in. Grout is a form of cement that you spread into the spaces between the tiles.

Instructions

Combine powdered grout and water in a bucket in the ratio specified on the packaging.

Mix the grout and water with a drill equipped with a mixing bit until it is the consistency of thick mud.

Let the grout sit for 10 minutes in the bucket then re-stir it.

Use a grout float to spread the grout over the tile shower surface, starting at the highest point on the walls and working your way down. Scrape the long edge of the float across the surface diagonally, working across. Press the grout into the spaces between the tiles, squeezing it off the surface.

Allow the grout to sit in the lines for 10 minutes. Wipe up the excess grout from the surface with a damp sponge.

Let the grout set for 48 hours. Caulk around the perimeter of the floor where it meets the walls. Let the caulk set for 24 hours before using the shower.
