Shower grout work advice needed please

5 years ago

last modified: 5 years ago

Our bath is almost complete but have the painters returning to do room touch ups especially the ceiling corners of the shower . Appreciate advise on this part - where the tile meets the ceiling, should the grout at the top edge where it meets the ceiling be the grout or should it be white? Wanting to see a cleaner edge at the ceiling either way. Tiles are Artigiano Italian Alps which is not a straight edge tile. Thanks in advance for feedback on this one.

Caulking that matches the grout.

Changes in plane, such as where the back wall meets the sides, should be caulked and not grouted.

Currently the grout at the top is the color matched grout. Ceiling and room are painted BM Super White. Is it suggested to recaulk with white around the entire top? Thanks for feedback.

Every change in plane is required to be caulk. Tile wall to ceiling is a change in plane and needs to be caulk. Remove the grout and replace with color matched caulk.
