What happens here
After the tiles have set and leveling clips are removed, it's time to grout both the shower walls and the bathroom floor. Use pre-mixed grout for convenience. Apply the grout with a rubber float, working it into all the grout lines. Ensure even coverage and remove any excess grout from the tile surface with a damp sponge before it dries. Once the grout has set slightly, buff the tiles with a clean, dry cloth to remove any haze. Silicone caulk should be applied at all changes of plane (e.g., wall-to-wall corners, wall-to-floor junctions, around fixtures) for a waterproof and flexible seal.
Goal: Apply grout to all tiled surfaces and caulk joints for a waterproof seal.
