Guys,

Is it possible to grout over new grout (that has dried). I did the fatal mistake of letting my boy grout my new floor :mad2: and where he has run the wet sponge, he has in places lowered the grout line on some of the tiles, bless him, its not a big issue, but I wanted the tiles and grouting to be flat and level rather than slightly dipped so it doesnt keep all the dirt in (if that makes sense) and wondered if I could get another bag of ultra colour to build the grout back up before sealing?? I reckon its about 1-2 mm depth in places?

Or is it a case of removing a few mm of grout first to get a good key?



Cheers
 
As you said at the end, remove 3/4mm of existing grout, then go back over it.

As said in previous posts, I want this floor done properly so just checking as I dont want any issues in the future with failure due to incorrect proceedures. Cheers
