Regrouting 50s title tub surrounding

I am fixing the landlord special in my bathroom, and this is my first time doing a project like this and I haven't seen grout work like this before so I need some help! Whoever previously grouted seemed to do a terrible job ie: THICK grout between colored title & white title to fill the beveled area of the title, thick/sloppy grout work on the titles that is on the title, and the spacing between tub & title seems to be pretty thick. From the videos I've seen, the spacing doesn't look like this and normally caulk is placed between the tub and title, but with how thick of a gap there is I am unsure what to do. I'd appreciate some help! Here are my questions: 1. Do I grout the beveled title (where the white title meets the green title) or would I caulk it? 2. Do I remove all of the grout between the tub/title and add new grout, caulk it, or both? 3. Do I grout or caulk the corners of the titles? submitted by /u/femmecami [link] [comments]
