New grout tiles/ceramic bathroom

[Ellinor Hellquist80]

Hello
I need all the tips I can get! The joint between the wall and the floor in the shower is so disgusting. Small mold spots that won't go away. It's been there for 11 years and we want to remove and put in a new one. How do we keep it sealed? What type of joint should we use? We have small children and don't want anything harmful to breathe in while fixing it. At the same time, it should be good. What should we consider when removing the old one and setting the new one?

Carefully cut away with a razor blade. Don't go too deep to avoid damaging the waterproof layer underneath/behind. In the joint between floor/wall, there should be tile grout that doesn't mold and need replacing.

I assume we're talking about silicone sealant? Buy these and it will go smoothly both to remove and apply new. http://www.ksportal.se/en/handverkt...enfix-silikonskrapa-och-avdragarsats-7-delars
