hi,
i've tiled my bathroom and now nervous about grouting it.
is there a type of grout that's easier / better to use for a novice ?
i've been reading some reviews and weber or grout 3000 seem to be what i'm leaning towards ? or BAL seem to have good selection of colours.
i'm a bit concerned...

I’ve been asked to clean up a bodged grout job.
The floor is large approximately 135m2 so the customer doesn’t want it all raking out and regrouting( in some places I’ll have to) what’s the best way to clean hardened grout of tiles ( see a few example pictures of what I’m dealing with generally)
Hi all, I'm laying 150mm x 900mm tiles staggered on the kitchen floor and looking for a cement grey grout. I've seen that Mapei do the Ultracolour Plus, and some bags state flexible and some don't. I've checked on the Mapei website and it says that Ultracolour is flexible, but just making sure...

Hi,
I have recently grouted a bathroom with mapei ultracolour plus manhatten grey grout and have a couple of issues in places. It's the first time I've grouted.
Firstly, after roughly a week of use a few grout lines very near the shower appear to have lost small pieces of grout from the...
I tiled my sister's shower with subway tile but due to movement in the floor underneath the grout all crumbles were the tile meets the tub.
I spent quite a bit of time trying to brace up the floor and walls and she's had people in there before to Jack up the house and brace everything. At...

I’m tearing my hair out at Mapei Ultracolour at the moment. I’ve got 299 Limestone, and I literally have applied to the exact manufacturer specifications and using...
Laid a tile in my bathroom that has been precut to make the tile appear like 4 smaller tiles. Do i grout in the precut line too? Friend suggested it isnt deep enough for the grout to hold. I reckon its about 2mm deep.
Surely its designed to be grouted?
Thanks

I haven't done epoxy grout for a number of years and the last time I did I used one of those heavy solid grout floats. Now My question is with the improvements in epoxy grout is it still necessary to use this sort of float or can a standard grout float be used .
Morning All,
Just finished a average size bathroom with metro tiles and light grey grout, I am happy with the job but I am concerned how long it took to grout almost 2 days, this seems far to much time, can I speed things up? Any ideas welcome.
Thanks
