Showers are caulked and grouted. A handyman service could do this or a tiling installer.

Ceramic Tile installion. Tell us what your shower is made from, a ceramic tiled shower has almost no caulking and nearly all grouting.

It's like plastic of fiber glas or whatever, the caulking was bad around the seams so I took it out to redo it but it always keeps melting

Melting means it is wet. Dry it well. Don't use that shower for couple of days before caulking and 3 days after. Use hair dryer to dry it out before you caulk. Use Latex based caulk, cove it with your finger. Don't over-apply. We always clean the area to be caulked with denaturated alcohol.

Scrap out the old caulk with a plastic putty knife. Buy and install Daps Kwik Seal Plus Dap's Kwik Seal Plus - Google Product Search (http://www.google.com/products?hl=en&q=Dap%27s+Kwik+Seal+Plus&spell=1&oi=spell) One big mistake people make all the time is not reading how long it takes for silicone or acrylic to fully cure.

Looks like you are using Acrylic Caulk or Silicone.
