little damage to the silicone joint between floor tile and wall tile

We have a relatively new bathroom and have a little damage to the silicone joint between floor tile and wall tile. This is in the corner of the shower and is never completely under water, but are in contact with water splashing.

What can I do here? Is it complicated to add new silicone self? the type of craftsman I contact to get this done properly? Tilers or plumber?

Hey. The old Silicon must be scraped away with a stanley knife (utility knife). Remains of Silicon wash off with a rag soaked with gasoline. After this wash the joint with acetone or denatured alcohol. It is important not to touch this area after it has been washed clean. Then apply a string of silicon and shower over the string with soapy water from a squirt bottle. Then pull off the excess silicone with a silicone spatula. One can also use eg. end of a rounded wood chips (for instance, a rule that is defective). Do you think this sounds difficult.

Tile for floor decoration is widely used due to its excellent performance. Most often, such cladding is carried out in rooms with complex microclimatic conditions.

The weak point of the coating remains the space between the tiles, which is filled with grout, which has a porous structure.

It is highly susceptible to contamination and the development of mold and mildew. Regardless of the methods of care, over time, the grout darkens or even turns black. Then there is the problem of how to clean the seams between the tiles on the floor, and what methods are most used depending on the complexity of the contaminants.

Causes of contamination and discoloration of tile joints

Despite the improvement of building materials, thanks to which grout has acquired increased strength and moisture resistance, over time these qualities are lost.

Detrimental is the fact that cladding is often carried out in rooms with high humidity (bathroom and toilet, kitchen) or high traffic (hallway, corridor).
