My shower leaks where the tile wall meets the aluminum shower door frame. What would work best for sealing this, a caulk or grout ?

I would use a water-proof caulk. It won't dry to a hard brittle finish as does grout. I'm pretty sure that's what my husband used when installing ours.

Yes, what you want to use is a silicone caulking.

The one I use is Acrylic latex with silicone. Besure it says for bathroom use as this has a mildew resistant additive. Stays flexible amd can be paint if so desired.

Come in a wide verity of colors. Small and large tubes.
