Hi guys just after a further bit of advice. I have two 135 degree internal corners in my shower that I am just about to remake after replacing a number of the tiles. I take it the Silicon expansion joint is still required on these wide angle corners?

Well here's my unprofessional take on change of plains grout vs Silicon. Perhaps the people that grout dont get called back to fix because confidence has been lost by the person who paid for the "professional" job. I know thats what Im doing. They

guy will probably always assume there was "no problem" Getting ready to chip this all out myself "not difficult it mostly falls out on its own" and apply Silicon that color matches. IMO getting a clean Silicon line isnt that difficult at all....
