    Silicone in colour closest to the grout colour. Botament do a great silicone in various colours to match their grouts, Lucretia Tiles are stockists.

    You could always re-grout but it looks like the change of plane is causing the cracking and so will most likely crack again; hence suggesting silicone.

    What do you mean by change of plane?

    When you have two surfaces meeting at an angle to each other, i.e., tiling a new bathroom and cement boards are put on walls and then cement board on floor, where floor meets wall is a change of plane. Also where two vertical walls meet at a corner is a change of plane. Same for any tiled shelfs. You often see grout cracking at these intersections, there can be many causes, from not enough adhesive or wrong adhesive to backer-boards not fixed enough or just settlement.

    I hope this explains it????

    You can google 'cracking grout at change of plane' and you'll get lots of good explanations with photos.

    Hoppe that helps
