Here's a how-to from the HGTV show "Help Around the House" that takes you through the steps of caulking and grouting your bathroom.

I recently removed the caulk from the bathtub, cleaned the area and re-caulked. I let the tub set for 3 days, but the new caulk pulled out immediately. I then tried using grout around the seam and the grout came out. I can't seem to get anything to stick to the tub now...do you have any advice on what to do.

It is very important to clean the surface of soap and any other build up first. A soap film will not allow the new caulking or grouting to stay affixed to the seam. You first need to clean the area thoroughly and allow it to dry. Rubbing alcohol is good but I would read the manufacturer's advice is possible.
