Grout, Silicone or both?

[GML]

I'm in the home straight of tiling my bathroom from floor to ceiling (thanks for the tips I've picked up reading this forum!!) and have to finish off around my bath.

Should I grout the gap between the bottom tile and the bath, silicone it or grout it and then silicone it?

Cheers

The grout aint gonna do anything. You need to silicone it, don't use any of the cheap stuff, it's rubbish. You know good silicone by the fact it stinks whilst it's curing. Also, a good tip, fill the bath full of cold water before applying the silicone, then once the silicone seal is cured, let the water out. Job should be a good 'un.

As above, don't use grout - it'll crack with the movement of the bath and water will seep through.
