Re grouting job

[MW Smith Ceramics]

Ceramic/porcelain tiles? Then clean the grout and the tiles with an acid based cleaner and a toothbrush. Then use a grout colorant with a toothbrush.

You will deffo scribe your tiles if you try de grouting a 2mm grout line.

Also, how big/small are your tiles?

Yes I know it's gonna be a right mare!.....but she is having none of cleaning it up and using grout recover as she wants an epoxy ......just gotta find a perfect tool that can do it in good time that any of you guys have actually tried and tested............tiles are 200x250 ceramic.......it was only done 2 yrs ago and it's really bad, mould everywhere....., they have extractor fan and keep the window open, the tiling isn't the best so I reckon cheap grout mastic has been used here....DOH!

If she wants an epoxy then she can have one without the mess.

A grout colorant will turn your grout into an epoxy grout - honestly.

A mould spray (chlorine) will get rid of the mould in a few minutes.

I even get a few spots of mould in our shower. Well ventilated and has a fan, but the bathroom is always freezing. Single brick and crittall windows don't help. Just a couple of sprays of HG MOULD remover does the trick.

I'm not pulling your leg about the colorant. Have a look at Aquamix grout colorant.

200x250........you had better buy a few spares!!!!!

I would rather sit at home than be raking grout out, get some grout colour from Tradetiler.

I think FEIN do a grout removal tool, but I'm not sure it goes as thin as 2mm....
Good luck on the "negotiation".
