Grout Dye

[Stef]

As above, anyone use a dye for grout.
I've got a load of white grout & I'm wondering if anyone has got a link for a dye to change it to grey or another colour.

I know Nichols & Clark do grout dyes....

I done this once, and once is all it's going to be, what a faf on, what area are you looking at Stef, would it be possible to remove the grout with your Fein ( other ) tool ? a LOT less hassle.

[MENTION=29939]Stef[/MENTION] did you mean Grout Rescue Colour and Seal?



Used on a display in our showroom, works really well.

Sorry no it's to add to the grout before I grout.
I hardly ever use white grout now, mostly greys, & I wanted to change the colour before I grouted.

Lee, I've got a bottle of grout rescue to darken the grey grout on a kitchen floor I did a while back.
It was weber grout grey I used but it's really light in colour against the black tile..

I see now, got the wrong end of the stick, no, would be the answer to that one, sorry.

Thought that would be the answer Alan.
I was wanting to throw away any grout if I could use it somehow.
Stick it on a buy n sell page up here to see if I can get something back for it...

Bal used to do sachets of colors have not seen them for years maybe they have stopped now

What about a dye that brickies use in mortar, maybe that could work, never done it myself but you could try on a sample at home

Bal stopped doing it a while back seemingly.

I looked at that John & wasn't sure if it would work but then again the grout is cement based so in theory it should work..

Before using the bal sachets always used brick red and buff cement tone color for grouting quarrys

Exactly my thoughts Stef

I've seen people use food colouring to change the colour. Test it and see what u think
