Sealing grout in shower area.

[Chivas69]

Hi, I have grouted my bathroom and am now looking at some sealer for the grout. The tiles are ceramic. There's so many products to choose from so I'm just after some recommendations.
Thanks

Did the grout instructions say that sealer was required?

It doesn't say so but I keep reading about sealing the grout. I have used Mapei ultracolour plus (white).
If I don't need to seal it then great.

Never sealed grout and never had a failure.
Just let it dry properly for a week.

Always used LTP, not the cheapest but has kept my grout mould free for years.

I'm not an expert but I'm fairly sure Mapei Ultracolour plus doesn't need sealing ?

Hopefully not as I've left it alone. New shower is amazing, especially compared to the crappy electric one it replaced

I've got a bag in my hand now as it's what I've used on my bathroom including wet room floor. No mention of sealant, just says surfaces ready for use after 24 hours and swimming pools can be filled after 48 hrs.
