    Dark grout going white and dark residue on cloth when cleaning

    Hi, We got our bathroom done just over a year ago. The tiler used mapei grout in river grey. I have noticed some of the grout lines turning white and when I try running it off I get stains on the cloth the same colour as the grout. Does anyone have any advice?

    Hi, Absolute newby here in terms of tiling. Having been doing lots of research and I think I`m making progress however the more I research, the more conflicting opinions I come across.

    Help!! No grout spacers is that ok??

    I originally asked for 1-2mm grout lines on these tiles. https://www.tiles-direct.com/wall-tiles-c26/zurbaran-range-c2170/zurbaran-turquoise-11-2cm-x-22-4cm-wall-tile-p4947 Presuming you’d need to allow for thermal expansion and good watertight seal.

    Grout

    I’ve just done my first tiling job. The tiles are great but the grout isn’t. I am going back tomorrow to try and sort it. Any tips please? The grout has been on for three days and in parts is thicker and just doesn’t look good!

    I've just had a go at regrouting a small area of my bathroom wall, and though not perfect the new grouting looks pretty good.

    Intensify grout colour for Porcelain tile patio

    I used Nexus Projoint Mid Grey Porcelain grout on our patio and it hasn't come out quite as dark as I would like. I should have gone for the darker grey, the mid grey looked great initially but its almost exactly the same colour as the tiles now that it's cured. It looks great when it's wet...
