grouting

Grouting metro tiles in grey grout looks the business but...:rage: just saying

Hi I have some tiles that I'm fitting in my bathroom and the edges are squared off not slightly rounded like i've previously had experience with. With rounded off edges when grouting my grout usually sits slightly set back in the tile recess but if i do this with these square edge tiles you'd...

Anyone used one, and if so? How did you get on? Job at the moment........limestone, 900x600, 600x600 & 600x300. Supposedly calibrated to 20mm (NOT) Grout joints ranging from 2-3mm-to all over the place. Picked up a grout gun today, not used one before. This is going to cost a fortune in...

Hi chaps/chapesses Looking for a bit of advice, I have been tiling on and off for a few years now and was wondering the best way to grout rectified tiles. I can never seem to manage to get the grout as flush to the surface of the tile as I would really like. Maybe I'm washing down to early...

Hi there. I need a memory jog. Terracotta with 10 to 20mm joint. Ball wide joint or sand cement ratio.

Did a job tomorrow for a plumber I know, he normally does site work but this was a domestic job. I'd just finished grouting and was waiting for it to dry to be polished, he asked me what I was waiting for! Dust off I said. Why? All the tilers on site spray there sponges with WD-40 and wipe over...

Hi guys. Bit of a strange one this. Had a query from someone who has had tilers fitted by a "pro-tiler". All the tiles were supplied from the same batch. They have been fitted over a couple of days and grouted on the third. Apparently they looked fine when they were first laid but since...

Hi Guys, think I made a boo boo. I've put up about 15 sq.m. of 600 x 300 V and B porcelain tiles that are textured and have a copper fleck in them. I think maybe I left it too long after applying before washing off, and ended up with a grout residue over the tiles. I washed them off again...

Hopefully a quick one for ya. When I grouted recently I was obviously not careful enough and got some grout in the internal corners in a few areas, where I had intended to Silicon. Do you think I should remove all the grout before I Silicon or will I get away with it do you reckon? I did try...

Hi, I have done a floor using the tile below if i used 113 would the stain as its for a downstairs living area? Thanks Paul Sequoia Limed Oak (White)

Hi While in a local tile supplier getting prices for a job, they advised grout admix gt1, the background was 12mm hardibacker, adhesive to used be was flexi adhesive and porcelain tiles, they said it would aid flex properties in the grout in case of movement of boards. Is it really needed are...

Hi guys. I have been in the process of a jobs for a while. consists of a few rooms of tiling and a large floor area of large stone flags. the area for the flags is about 40m. I explained to the customer about expansion joints but are adamant that they don't want them (more because the male...

Hi to all, Can anybody give me any advice on a tried & tested grout removal tool you have used in the past that can do a good job in minimal time?......I'm removing grout that has just discoloured over the years and in a shower area 2mm joints.....any suggestions would be much...

Hi all, another basic question. How best or does it matter to position tiles where they meet in corners. I saw a video last year on youtube about filling the corners of the shower walls with waterproof grout as being better than grout and a silicon bead? Any thoughts? 1. I need 16 sq m of...

Good morning. Just a quick question regarding the tiles in the picture. I've fixed split face stone tiles before (not in wet area) and haven't grouted them. The tiles in the picture are a ceramic split face style tile from wickes. They will require grouting I assume due to them being a ceramic...

Have any of you tried these Grouting Guns that are available? I am asking about the ones like a Silicon gun that you fill yourself. Are they any good or is the traditional way of applying and finishing grout better? Glynn

My goodness - what a palaver!! So, I've been tiling my own wet-room with TOPPS 60x30 Polished "WHITE" (cream) Porcelain Tiles. (nice easy cuts with my RUBI TR-700) Sealed using FILA Polished Porcelain protector (2 passes with a sponge, great product and pretty fumey too!) Grouting using BAL...

Hi, I'm not a pro tiler but am hoping to get a bit of advice from those who are. I'm laying about 40 sqm of oyster slate floor tiles starting with a shower room and extending into the kitchen / diner. The tradition float method of grouting would be impossible to clean up given the rough surface...

Hello new and in need of help. Fixed a sawn calibrated(30mm) sandstone floor onto anhydride floor using anhyfix. Looks lovely but now need to grout... Cleaned stone with water then sealed with swift seal (as supplied by quarry). Trial area of grout has slightly stained stone. Could anyone...

Morning everyone, just a quick question. Does anyone use a grouting gun? And are they worth it? Ive vey got about ten meters of a decor tile that takes quite a bit of cleaning when grouting, so I'm just wondering if a grout gun would make a neater job ( easier :) ) thanks and and hope...
