DIY repairs

Looking for ideas to go about a couple of jobs..

1st one is the plaster board loose at the corner of wall, i was thinking of trying to glue it and wedge something up against it untill dry, then paint.

2nd one is grouting in bathroom, the grouting is cracked along the skirting board, also gone off colour, the wall grout for tiles in the shower also have same problem. We did use grouting paint i think it was called before, maby there are better solutions?

1) A couple of plaster board screws if there is a batton behind the plaster board.

2)Scrape off the loose grout and apply a bead of white outdoor grade silicone sealant.Wall tiles in the shower needs re grouting.

The plaster slab is not loose it just been taped and there on the corner the steel has come away from the paper, get a tube of tec 7 and stick it if you get white you can seal the shower too and just scrape out the old grout and re do it

Its not a mesh corner bead its a paper bead used when walls are just taped if you try to put a nail or screw through you will knock off the corner you need to stick that and pach it
