Bathroom Improvement

I was told to leave a 1/4 inch space between tile and walls/tub. Does this mean NO GROUT between tile and walls? That was my understanding until someone at a home improvement store told me to grout up to the walls and tub because ceramic tile doesn’t expand or contract. If he’s right, please tell me (because I went ahead and did what he said, hoping he’s right). BUT if he’s wrong, how much empty space (no grout, no tile, no thin set) do I leave between the tile and the walls and tub? Also, if I do need space, what’s the best way to remove grout?

I have large (8in x 8in) ceramic tiles on my bathroom floor that came loose. The grout is cracked and now water that splashes out of my shower stall gets underneath it. I don’t want mold to develop under the tiles. I want to know how I can fix the tiles permanently and prevent water from getting underneath them. I have about 5 tiles that are now with cracked grout and with water underneath. They are white tiles with no fancy designs on them. Would adhesive caulk alone work? If not, what do I need to fix them and how do I do it? Thanks!

I have painted over all the walls as well as the shower recess wall tiles and they look stunning. Just like having a new bathroom but I just need to do something with the floors (bathroom as well as shower recess)without having to pullup the vile tiles that are there. Plz help They are ceramic tiles and any help would be appreciated thankyou.

A general site would be great, but I’ll probably have to upgrade the bath/shower and perhaps the bathroom floor soon.
