    Default floor tiling around shower tray... ?

    Hi Guys,

    I have tiled the floor in my ensuite, question is what to do with the gap on the floor between the tray and tiles.... should I grout this or seal it (have been using plumbers gold) or both ?...... I think the grout only would look best but want to do the right thing !

    Thanks for any knowledge shared

    if the 111 code matches your grout colour code(assuming mappei grout) then that is the right one.

    weber colour match silicone too. make sure you get the right numbers there is only slight difference in colour between them but can be very noticable IMO if got wrong. good luck.
