Hello and thanks in advance
There is a deep crevice where some grout has come away (Where is it? I never saw it come loose) in my shower recess. See part outlined in blue in photo. It is approx 25mm down until a skewer hits ‘floor’ underneath so quite deep. There are also a few cracks and gaping as shown in the other photo. There is no evidence of water penetration in terms of any loose tiles or any damage to the ceiling in the roof below. Is this something I can address myself or should I get a pro/tiler. I also want to replace the silicon around the edges of the screen but that is different research/photos. I only mention it because maybe it would be better to get a pro in to do the lot. Thanks for any advice
Hello @Coolaholigah,
For a quick repair job, I suggest using Dunlop 800g Ready-To-Go Coloured Grout - White. Make sure to remove any loose or old grout then simply squeeze the grout into the gap and wipe away clean with a sponge.
If you have a second shower, I suggest using that instead of this one for at least two days. When the grout has cured, you can begin using it again. Make sure to also keep the shower door open to promote air circulation.
In regards to the silicone, I suggest using Trojan Safety Scraper to remove the old silicone and using Selleys 300g White Wet Area Waterproof Silicone Sealant to replace the old seal.
Here is a handy step-by-step-guide: How To Silicone Seal A Bath (the techniques used are applicable to your shower enclosure).
If you need further assistance, please let us know.
