Tile grouting in shower.
 

Hi,

Yesterday I was having a shower and noticed that all of a sudden the
supports under one side of the shower tray seemed to become ineffective,
this resulted in a few little (3x1 inch) tiles at where the tray's
silicon seal is attached getting torn off the plasterboard.

I have now remedied the situation with the supports. Turns out that some
clever clogs had put a piece of skirting board under the feet of the
support back when the shower was installed, which would have been fine
had they been fixed to the floorboards but they were not and have
apparently taken 10 years to work themselves out from underneath the feet.

Also I have reattached the tiles using evo-stik "sticks like ****."
adhesive since I am a lazy bugger and did not want to go and get proper
tile adhesive and remove the existing stuff and so forth, question is
now, could I simply run some silicone around where the grouting is now
missing as I redo the seal or must I put new grout in? Is there any
horrible side effects from using the silicone lazy boy method? I will
rebuild the entire shower in a years time or so.

Sanitary grade silicon will be fine.

Marvellous, it has been done, yes using sanitary grade silicon. Even
mildew resistant it says on the cartridge, it does not look like a work
of art but it will be fine for a years time.
