Recomendation for a tool for re-grouting a kitchen !

[tony4173]

Hi guys

I have been asked to do a re-grout on some tiles in a kitchen roughly about 15m2. Quite large, so was wondering if someone could recommend a re-grouting tool ie, dremmel multi tool or something like that which is up to the task or is it a case off a hard slog with a grout raker ? I don't wanna be spending loads of money on a tool so any suggestions please.

Thanks Tony

Welcome Tony

Wall or floor and what size are the tiles and joints?

 

[tony4173]

There wall tiles mate tiles are prob about 100x 200 not big ones, and joints look about 3mm.

It would be quicker to remove tiles and re-tile. You could use either grout rake as mentioned, alternatively the Fein or Bosch Multi-Tool with grout remover blade in. You would have to be very careful not to chip the tiles.

If it was me I would look at this option

Grout Colorant great value and top quality from Tradetiler

Re-tiling aint an option because of the cost factor. tiles, labour etc.Although the grout colour and seal looks very good and simple i'm just wondering if anyone has tried and tested this method and how it looked. Looks a dam sight easier than raking it all out and re-grouting.

Used the colourants a few times, very good results.
