I'm replacing some moldy caulking along the edge of my bathtub where
the tub meets the tiled wall. As I was removing the caulking, the
grout behind it also started to come out in spots. I think I'm going
to have to remove all of the grout along the edge, but do I need to
replace the grout with more grout or can I replace it with just
caulking? If I need to replace the grout, should I put caulk over it
as well?

Thanks,

Put grout down where there was grout, If you use caulk you can't go
back and redo it. with grout.

Joe,

Thanks for the reply. There appears to be a mix of grout and caulk
already. I'm not sure if the previous person put caulking on top of
the grout or tried to fill holes in the grout with caulk or what. So I
guess it might be too late for the whole not mixing grout and caulking
thing you mentioned. Are you saying that once I use caulking I will
never be able to remove it and replace it with grout should I be so
inclined? Why is that? Does the caulking leave some sort of residue
behind that makes grouting impossible?

Thanks,
Dave
