Hello,
I'm not a very big DIY type of person, especially with this type of fix. I'm also new to the forum. Hopefully someone might be able to shed some light on my issue below...
My wife and I just bought a house that has a shower stall in need of help. The joints between walls and walls/floor have some small/very thin areas of separation (cracks) where it looks like water/moisture could get through. These areas a smaller than 1/8th of an inch wide.
I'd like to try and fix it myself, but have a few quick questions:
Below are some photos I took of the shower stall. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I'd like to try and fix it myself, but have a few quick questions:
- Should I use grout or caulk? (I have a friend who wants to help, but is saying I really need to grout?)
- If caulk is in order, is there a specific type I should look for (grout in bathroom is white, so assuming any white caulk would be ok?)
- Aside from cleaning the joints/cracks, would i need to clear out/cut out any of the grout there or ok to caulk/grout over after cleaning?
