Do I grout the corners?

[Adam1991]

ok a bit of a rhetorical question, i’ve already grouted the internal corners of the whole bathroom, including shower.

Should i cut the grout out or silicone over the top?

Take the grout out and silicone. Always silicone.

There must always be a minimum 3mm gap around perimeters to allow for expansion movement in the tiles. Without it there is a chance of tiles crazing, cracking or tenting.

Cheers Paul! I did think that after i put everything together, woops!

Is there a specific width of sillicone that should be on the tiles or is it just as long as the gap is filled?

Next question, how do i remove grout

Quickest easiest way I've found is with an OMT and diamond blade.

Can I butt in please?

I was told by the man in the tile shop that I could grout the corner over the bath/shower position as I was going to be using a flexible grout. If I felt I needed to I could run a bead of clear grout over the top when grout had set

Now I’m confused.

Please advise
Thanks

He's thinking a bead of clear silicone to seal the corners but personally I'd do one or the other.

My preference would be to use a colour matched silicone in the corners.
