    Hi,
    I have a lot of grout cracking on the edges (just the edges) of my tiled floor. Should I regrout or use a more flexible sealant?

    Below is a example of the cracks I'm getting, some are much larger.

    Normally best around the perimeter and internal corners on the wall to use a soft joint eg silicon, you should have no issue finding one to match colour.

    it looks leg a bit of drying, perhaps by the skirting board, get a flexible sealant

    was the tiling done up to the exiting skirting boards or were they fitted afterwards

    Yeah, the tiling was done up to the skirting. I think I'll go for the silicon sealant.

    Thanks Guys.
