Our shower was remodeled 25 years ago. The original grout around the drain lasted around 20 years (at least I think it was grout). Now over the past 5 years or so, we can't get any grout to hold up. Including when we had it professionally done, which lasted about 10 months.
We have well water which doesn't help.
The drain is sunken beneath the tile floor approx. the depth of a tile.
I know the grout job now looks bad, it was an emergency rush job and I don't do this for a living. Last time, there was a nice gap that eroded on the side of the drain that led under the floor. Predictably, this current job will not hold.
I'm really tempted to use silicone around the edge of the drain. But I'd like to hear some good ideas.
Thank you!
