Hi Stuart

I have fix these problems in the past.

1^st never use caulking in a shower floor. It will always turns moldy.

I would cut the caulking and grout out. Clean the tile if needed. Clean the grout if needed.

Dry the shower with a dehumidifier 1 to 2 days with a fan, check and see when the mastic dry by eye sight. If dark gray it will turn light gray.

Measure the amount of water coming out per day in a 5 gallon bucket make black marks on side of bucket for seeing when it dries out.

After its dries out match color of sanded grout with color chart bar chip set.

Mix grout with grout harder and install and wait 2 days for grout to cure. Seal on the 3 day and get paid.

I charge about 450 to 1500. for this type of repair sometimes more depends on time spent.

I try and charge about 150 to 175 per hr for this work

Subject: [sccpartners] Caulking shower corners

Hi, partners,

The attached are photos of a shower floor joint where it joins the wall. It appears that the caulk is coming loose in the corners. What is the best way to remedy this problem, and to keep water from penetrating in these areas? Grout, caulk, both? Any methods or products that do better than others?

Thank you,

Stuart Young
