grouting

Hello, I laid these porcelain tiles and the first attempt for grouting was far too white. I since raked this out and replaced with the pictured grout. On both occasions, the grout is a very different colour along the lines varying from what it should be, to a much darker tone as if it were...

I put plank style porcelain floor tiles down in our kitchen and prior to a new kitchen being installed by a professional fitter. As time was against me I never grouted the tiles as this was a plan for afterwards. After living with this new floor, I wasn't too happy with my installation of them...

Hi. We are in the process of having our bathroom refitted. The plumber seems to be taking a long time, he was running behind so the painter came in and painted the walls before tiling started. It is a wipeable paint so the painter couldn’t see it being a problem. I've come home today to the...

Hi all So 16 months on from my previous thread Need to stop water leaking from behind bathtub into kitchen below | Screwfix Community Forum I've had my bathtub area 'regrouted' for a second time. The first time wasn't an actual regrout, in that we called a handyman 11 months ago who just...

What is the best way to remove dried on grout from the faces of tiles (light coating, not big lumps)? Tried wire wool and strong cleaners, but seem to be no good.

Hi Everyone, I was wondering if someone could help please. I have a slight raise in my bathroom floor, and the grout inbetween the tiles in that area, always ends up cracking after a few months. No issues at all with the subfloor or the tiles being loose - they have been down for over 10...

Hi Everyone, I was wondering if somebody could help please with a potential issue with my grout? Just wanted to get some opinions before I contact the tiler who did it. Tiling was done at the end of March 2022 in my kitchen. This is the grout the tiler used...

Hi All, Just finished, tanked and tiled the wet room. Would like to use epoxy grout. Does anyone have any recommendations, please? I have all the cleaning at hand because of the haze epoxy causes on surfaces, so ready for that. I just need something waterproof and resistant with a reasonable...

Hi, I have a client that's asked me to tile a hallway using large 300x300 tiles made to look like nine individuals 100x100 'tiles' (I hope that makes sense?!). The line of light grey 'grout' inbetween the nine sections of individual 'tiles' on the 300x300 tile is max 2mm so it would be ideal to...

Good day everyone. I am a complete newbie looking for some advice from some seasoned veterans. I recently moved into a new property with an en-suite added to one of the rooms; last night, I noticed a hairline crack running the vertical length of the shower corner grouting. I have read that...

Hi all, if anyone on here knows anything about patio jointing/grout, would greatly appreciate your time and help with this. I had a porcelain patio completed recently and it’s been left in a bad state, with stains and all the joints discoloured / multi coloured. They were supposed to be cream in...

Hi, We have a conservatory which was built over 20 years ago now, and I today noticed the area around the water pipe is looking worse for wear. We’ve only been here 6 months so hadn’t previously noticed. Is it just age and a case of regrouping and portentously replacing a brick or 2? The...

What grout would you recommend/use in your own house that will stay white for as long as possible? I hate grout when it gets dirty and my bathroom is on a busy road without ventilation so I have to leave the window open. Also, 2mm or 3mm grout lines for large (280 x 850mm) tiles? Thanks

I've just done some mosaic tiling, they are glass tiles with a chemically applied silvered finish to the face and anything too abrasive will take the finish off. What would be the best grout to use and is there anything I can do to reduce scratching?

Hi all, Since moving into my ground floor flat I discovered a leak that came from the ensuite bathroom, whereby water was leaking out into the adjoining room's walls whenever the shower was used. When inspecting the problem in May last year, I noticed that the grouting around the shower tray...

Hello, I have had a lot of issues with a leaking hallway toilet which a plumber has recently fixed. The toilet is sat on tiles and was previously silicone sealed in (hiding a lot of the leak unfortunately). The toilet and floor was always solid to sit on, however the plumber had to remove...
