You can protect your grout by simply applying a grout sealer.

LTP have just the product to help with this and it comes in an aerosol which will make it easier for the DIY or trade to use.

Grout & Tile Protector (Aerosol)
• Easy to apply, quick drying spray-on formula
• Long lasting protection against water, dirt, grease, mould and limescale
• Suitable for both wall and floor grout and natural stone borders
• Overspray dries invisible
LTP Grout & Tile Protector forms a colourless barrier and helps to protect porous wall and floor grout joints from penetration by
water, dirt, oil, grease and limescale, making treated surfaces easier to keep clean. Ideal for use in wet rooms and shower enclosures.
Used as a ‘top up coat’ this product is an easy way to further protect natural stone and all other types of masonry surface. Overspray
on most surfaces will completely dissipate and not leave any hard to remove residue.
When sealing a porous stone it is advisable to use a suitable liquid impregnator such as LTP Mattstone or LTP Colour Intensifier before
finishing with LTP Grout & Tile Protector to achieve the best result.
Suitable for internal and external use.
Coverage per 600ml:
600 linear metres depending upon the size of grout joint and number of coats required.
5 - 25 sq.m of tile and grout depending upon the porosity and the number of coats required.
Directions for use:
Areas to be treated must be cleaned. Older contaminated and dirty grouting should be cleaned with LTP Grimex and then rinsed
thoroughly. Newly grouted surfaces should be left to cure for 20-30 minutes and should be clean and free from dust before application.
Always test the product on an inconspicuous area for suitability before general application. Shake can well. Spray 15-20 cm from the
surface and spray in a sweeping motion. Touch dry within 5 minutes. A 2-3 hour curing time is recommended upon completion before
allowing traffic. For wet areas including shower enclosures and wet rooms allow the sealer to cure for a minimum of 24 hours before
use. Test area after application with a little water, if the water is absorbed, a second or even third coat may be required to obtain
maximum performance. Use only in open or well ventilated areas. Open windows and if possible use fans to circulate air. It is
recommended that a suitable respiratory mask be worn at all times. Overspray on highly polished porcelain or stone and highly glazed
surfaces may in some cases leave a slight residue, in which case wipe up any excess within 5 minutes. Stubborn residues left on the
surface can be removed with the application of more LTP Grout & Tile Protector which should then be buffed off immediately.
Do not spray on to acrylic or stained surfaces such as cabinets and stained timber skirting boards. Mask and protect these surfaces
before application.

This simple to use product will give longer lasting colour protection and ease of maintenance..

With these sealers... is it true that you have to reapply them every two years at least? And is that what you tell the customer then? It's just I notice in my own bathroom, at some parts the grout is starting to get wet rather than before it just perled off, just seems odd and a bit frustrating, to have to rely on the customer then, when all is done and finished... I am thinking about my mosaics of course... and outdoor work...

Strip it out and re-do... hot water cannot damage silicone..:)

Done that three times... :nonod: have two places where these black holes appear.. always the same places... :nonod: I have this sneaking suspicion... as I remember you mentioning once adhesive poking through, that may that is what it might be? Remember Mike put the bath in, THEN I did the tanking... the bottom edge may let have a bit seep out? It bugs me every morning...
