Hi All,
Having recently found lots of water dripping down under my bath I managed to locate the problem to a small hole in the grout. I had a quick rummage in the loft and found some old BAL micromax grout which I was pleased to find was still a nice powder after 7 years. It mixed up nicely, seemed to set OK and I left it 2 days before having a shower. But when I had the shower it basically washed out ☹️.
Probably my own fault for trying to use old grout. Should 2 days have been long enough for it to cure properly?
As it's only a small bit of grout to repair I was tempted to try the pre-mixed Mapei 'fix and grout' - would this be ok for use in a shower?
Thanks,
Tom
