I am looking an experienced tiler to work with Epoxy grout and quartz

[gregcrammond]

Hi there
I am looking for an experienced tiler who has had lots of experience with Epoxy grout and Quarts tiles.

I have a kitchen and bathroom that ned to be grouted.

I have laid the tiles myself but have no experience with Epoxy grout and have heard you have to really know what you are doing .

The tiles are Black starlight quartz and the area is about 5 meters squared in kitchen and about 4 meters squared in bathroom.

I am looking at using a black epoxy grout.

Based in London.

Thanks
greg

Hi
Ok i realise this is probabaly not something that is very apealing as obiously difficult to do but what i forgot to mention is that i am willing to pay VERY good money to get this done . The money i am offering is no laughing matter .

Also just to clarify , i have tiled the kitchen already , you would need to tile the bathroom floor and then grout both the kitchen floor and bathroom floor.
Cheers

why have you chosen to use epoxy mate?

Modern epoxy is as easy to work with as cementious, IMO. I wouldn't touch this job because I don't do re-grouts and I don't finish other peoples work. I can't put my name to any job that I didn't do 100%.

Absolutely Daz, I'm just keen to know why epoxy is required in a domestic, low traffic area. IMO a quality cement based grout with an added protector would be ample.

same as bri unless he plans on jet washing the walls a suitable coulour matching grout will be fine, its how he plans to seal up the internals which could compromise the substrate... boooyyaaaa! lol joke

Hi
Thanks for the replies , i am using black quartz tiles and i want to have a black finish and have been told that if i use black grout it will fade in colour. I was told epoxy would be better because it won't fade like black grout.
Any help or advice would be appreciated , if i seal the black grout should it last a while ?
Its just i have spent £2500 on tiles and really want it to look good.
Thanks

If you really want the perfect finish, then take a look at Mapei Kerapoxy in black with glitter added.
I have a black porcelain with silver glitter epoxy grout in my bathroom and it still looks as flash as when I did it 7 years ago.

Hi daz
Thanks for that recommendation, That sounds great and i would like to do that but maybe with black and glitter in it. I am just not confident to use Kerapoxy myself. Please excuse my ignorance i am not a tradesaman , just a house owner but is there a difference in Kerapoxy to normal epoxy ?
Is it difficult to use and must you have had lots of expedience like normal epoxy.

Last of all do you have or know any tilers that may be able to do this Grouting in my kitchen and bathroom for me ? I need one small bathroom tiled and then that bathroom and my kitchen done in kerapoxy .

Thanks
Greg

Ok so i have decided that i would like the work done in BLACK KEROPOXY with glitter added.
Kitchen floor : Just grout for me - Tiles laid 2 days ago.
Bathroom : Tile floor in Black quartz ( I have tiles already ) and grout in same black Kerapoxy grout as Kitchen floor.

Thanks
Greg
