Just had a new shower installed, tiles going down and overlapping the
flange of an acrylic shower base. Contractor "sealed" the tile/base
connection with grout, which soon cracked due to weight in shower and
flexibility of base. I then used grouted caulk, which now has also
cracked.

How can I seal this small gap in a way that will not crack? Or maybe I
should not worry about it (concrete backboard behind tiles).

TIA


Did contractor pour a bed of concrete or other material under the shower
base to prevent flexing?
If not, the flexing will continue. At this point, I would remove the
grout and use a silicone tub and tile caulk that can flex a little.
