    Can I use silicon to seal grout?

    The grout in my shower is constantly needing mould & mildew treatment, and is generally looking tired. I am considering removing and replacing any damaged sections of grout, then applying Silicon over all the grout lines to seal them. Is this ok to do? Very grateful for any advice.

    Dark grout, white sealant

    Hi, just had a tiler put some white metro tiles with grey grout in our first house. We are a disappointed with the white sealant - see photos. We appreciate that it may be tricky to do dark grout and white sealant. Is this the best we can hope for? Should we not have picked grey grout?

    Good match for Tilemaster Grout 3000 mid grey

    I suspect the answer is going to be 'no' but I don't suppose anyone has ever matched a different brand of grout with Tilemaster Grout 3000 mid grey? I need just a tiny bit of grout to finish a job and the nearest Tilemaster stockist is a fair way away, whereas I can get Mapei, BAL and others...

    ProScape Grout

    Hi all, quick question regarding grouting options for 20mm porcelain pavers. I've seen the ProScape grout from Instermac. Has anyone got any experience using it?

    DIYer here. I am tiling a shower and has been going pretty well, but I have an issue I have run in to.
