Grout or Silicon

[Radus135]

Hello. Looking for a bit of advice.
Just finished tiling a bathroom and grouting now. There’s boxing/shelves around the bath. Question is do I grout or Silicon the internals. There’s no shower above.. my worry is that it’s going to be a family bathroom with the kids likely splashing around and wet shampoo bottles etc sitting on the shelve.
I have plenty colour matched Silicon and grout but wanted to ask any of the pros first

also what do you reckon about colour matching Silicon round the bath?. Or just white? Was thinking in future it might be simpler to replace just going with the white.

Cheers

all internal corners should be Silicon with colour match Silicon to the grout.
colour or white round the bath is a personal choice, I prefer to see white, but there's no wrong or right answer.

Cheers Andy. I wasn’t sure because it’s not an area that’s constantly going to be wet like an internal corner in a shower.. just the splashing about with the kids etc
made me think about it.
Need to make a note of the colour matched Silicon I’m using for the future for replacing.

appreciate the advice. 👍
