My builder has laid floor tiles in our bathroom - including in the shower area and has asked me to get some waterproof grout. I'm not sure if that's the right approach. From the reading I've done, it looks like I could either use normal or water-resistant grout and then add a sealer, or I could use proper waterproof grout, which sounds like a bit of a pain to install (particularly cleaning off the excess). Would be good to hear what everyone else thinks, please.
The walls and floors are tanked, btw.
