Hi,
Just been replacing a shower unit and tried to use all the best products. Swapped rotten plasterboard with AquaPanel, BAL tanked, BAL White Star adhesive, then grouted with Microflex. However impressed I was with the finished job with my bright white tiles, once the grout dried I realised the online company I bought the grout from has sent me Ivory grout instead of White. So I now have a very neat job in an ultra waterproof shower but with the wrong colour grout. Here's my options to fix the 24 hour old microflex grout (change the ivory grout to white):
1) Fully scrape out the grout and regrout with white microflex
2) Scrape out the grout to a depth of 2mm?? and regrout with white microflex
3) Use a grout remover product (Microrevive??) and regrout with white microflex
4) Paint the grout with a white grout reviver pen (e.g. Unibond)
I've tried 4) so far and it works well for now, but I can't imagine it will last the test of time.
Appreciate your advice to give the best balance of quality of finish versus effort.
Many thanks
P.S. I will be phoning the online company to give them an ear-bashing.
