Grout too pale... Help! - TilersForums.com

[PatriciaA]

Hi everyone,

Our tiler has done a really amazing job with our kitchen flooring, but has used a grout far paler than originally suggested. Was going to be dark grey. The one they've used matches the tiles really well, so looks great, but as this is a high traffic area, I'm really worried about grout discoloration happening quite quickly. Should we regrout (a huge job I imagine!), or are there any other measures we can take? Sealing?

Thank you 🙂

The current grout colour goes quite well. I would look into using a suitable grout sealer. All the best

Seal it every six months or 12 months or you can stain the grout to a darker color. It is doable. Good luck!
