Regrout

[Scott]

Its probably the dustiest job ever!

I've used a Fein on small areas and it is great, but just remember that you really need 3 hands to do the job properly....as it is difficult to hold the vacuum nozzle and keep the Fein steady on your own.

Good luck,

Even so would the fein be my best bet, does the fein carbine blades last long White beam, I'll have to go a day rate plus blades, just needa know how much wear they take as their not cheap

I used a diamond blade, for the amount of regrouting your doing, 3-4 blades if not more, the floor grout is even tougher than the walls.

The fein will do the job but you will need to be real carefull as if you slip with it you will damage the tiles very easily. the carbide tip blade will probably do the whole job though you may possibly need a second blade. the fein or bosch are similar tools and both will damage the tiles in seconds if you let the blade hit the actual tile instead of the grout.

this is high on the list of ' the worst tiling tasks'

I've done an entire gyms changing room before with the fein and its the only tool to use in my opinion.If your doing only walls one blade should do you,floor grout causes alot more wear.Make sure the customer knows that some tiles will more than likely get scratched cause you will loose your concentration at some point because its long and boring.
Like you say mate work is work and I wouldn't turn it down.The only way to do it is day rate because its hard to gauge how long it will take. Enjoy lol

Hi, i just done a regrouting job, we use a worx sonic with a vacuum attachment, the motor doesn't spin or cause any dust. dead easy diamond blade that just vibrates. We used it to do the bulk of the grout and a hand rack for more delicate areas. not one tile damaged or marked in the whole bathroom.

lol mate the worx sonic is just a cheaper diy version of the fein multimaster

 

[newton&stockley]

but as far as i know the fein doesn't have a vacuum attachment which swang it for me. A client is more impressed by less mess then brand

Just started using a new grout colourant from universeal, saw demos at a local shop, and amazed at what it does.
