tile grout

So bathroom has had the old grout removed to a depth of about 4mm. Now need to start thinking of re-grouting.

I thought that sometimes I just have to attack the current wire for the mixer. I wanted to know if anyone tried these or what you think. the most interesting seems to me collomix (metabo), in the evening, remove the whisk quickly and bring the mixer home.

I have a client that has an outdoor area tiled with 20mm porcelain (600x600mm) where the grout is breaking out of the joints. It is on a very solid timber platform with (I’m assured) 25mm outdoor grade plywood as the top. It has been grouted with Kerakoll Fugalite Bio which now has come away...

Wanted to spruce up the bathroom tiles after grout starting to go mouldy and in parts has sunk with pin holes in it. Tiling is about 15 years old. Tile spacing is about 3-4 mm so decided to rake out the grout down about 4-5 mm as I could get a grout rake in between the tiles. What a job that...

My adhesive specs say you can grout after 3 hours although I wont be grouting that soon but if you have no need to grout quickly is there any benefit in not grouting for say 24 -48 hours or will the adhesive dry and gain full strength just as quick with the grout in place

Hi guys, A customer has just asked if I Could regrout areas of a shower enclosure as it's suspected the water is running behind the grout and through the living room ceiling. There's quite a lot of cracking although tiles are OK. It appears that it's been laid on just plaster board and it's all...
