You might check with Home Depot or Lowes to see if they have something on this line.
Would it help if you just gave it a Mr Clean Magic songe cleaning and whitened the grout with a bleach pen or vinegar/baking soda paste.
please give us a photo
Check with your local senior center, they have volunteers that help with things home owners are no longer able to do themselves.
You can have a company that specializes in covering up old tubs and adding a new tub surround to the walls. They say they can do it in one day. "Bath Fitters"
If you’ve no one to help, I’d go on to HomeAdvisor.com or thumbtack.com and have someone come out for an estimate on fixing the grout. I suggest those companies because they do “vet” their tradesmen, so your security is not an issue. For thumbtack.com, if you can send them some photos, the tradesmen will even give you an estimate via email or phone.
Although you can’t afford to get it done, you will at least know what it will cost when negotiating the sale of your house. or, perhaps a quick fix by a pro is more affordable than you think. You don’t know until you ask.
In the meantime, hang a pretty shower curtain to distract.
Thank you. A pretty shower curtain should help!
