hey all, have a regrout job to do next week, she wants all the grouting redone in her house, bathroom, kitchen floor, ensuite, utilidy, toilet. Haven't done any regrouting yet so whats best way to get all joints cleaned out, have seen bosch multimaster tool any comments on that?

 

[Brian the Tile]

hi Jimmy Doc regrouting is not a job many tilers would take on,make sure if you do do it that the customer has spare tiles in case you damage any ill take a bet you wont be wanting to do anymore,cant comment on the multimaster,good luck

 

[Jimmy Doc]

yeah might not be the best of jobs to be doing but eh it's work and that's not as easy to come by round here at the minute so i take whatever comes my way, just not sure whats best way of removing old grout

Ive used a dremel in the past, different attachments and adjustable speed settings. Was a long old process though!

 

[Jimmy Doc]

is the dremel just a multi tool like the bosch,

We did a regrout once!
Limestone grout that dried patchy.
Used a dremmel and loads of attachments.
Make sure you don't scratch the surface of adjoining tiles as they will ask you to replace them at your expense - and if they are old stock you will end up doing the work for nothing or worse:mad2:

Hi do these attachments last long, would u get 1 to do a bathroom or do they were out very quick

dremel last about a dozen tiles if you are lucky, floor grout eats them up. Similar for the Rotozip. Just used a grout wheel on the grinder, quick but way too dusty. Rotozip cleanest as it has a port for Henry. Long job. Allow a lot of time.
