Just had a new shower installed, tiles going down and

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

No grout will deal with this joint. *Just use regular
white caulk.

The only proble with caulk is that we live in a very moist
area and regardless of havin a very good exhaust fan,
mildew tends to grow on caulk.

It won't grow on silicon caulk; that's one of the reasons the mfr's
recommend it.- Hide quoted text -

Ripp it oput the contractor did it wrong he did not put a morter base
underneith it . The base should not flex at all .
