Is this not premixed grout? If not, what do you call it? Grout
repair?

I would call that caulk and it too will fail when used around the drain
of
a
shower. The mud bed in a shower is constantly wet if the shower is used
at
all. You need to use a cement based product if you want it to hold up.
Epoxy
grout could be used ut that's overkill.

Any caulk I've heard of is flexible. This stuff is hard.



You just don't give up do ya? The OP was trying to repair grout around a
drain in the floor. If you would READ the date on the product you are
suggesting you would see that it is recomended for WALLS. It is also called
water resistant not waterproof. Cement grouts will not break down from water
unless they have a low ph and even then will not do so quickly. From Dow:

"For quick and easy tile grout repairs in showers, tubs and around
backsplashes. For use on ceramic tile and mosaic wall tiles.
Water-resistant. Safe latex-based formula. Easy water clean-up. Easy-to-use
sqeeze tube - NO CAULK GUN NEEDED."

Now stop giving bad advise. Just because you were lucky doesn't mean that
you were right....
