Grouting metro tiles - Tile Advice

[Brian the Tile]

Allow at the most 4 hours for an average size bathroom.
If you’ve spent 6 months as an apprentice grouting skilled tilers work then that’s the benchmark to aim for.
Are you running a rake tool through the joint before washing off?

Thats the one thing i always do when grouting any wall tiles point the joints gives a nice smooth even joint

It's the one thing I've never done! Honestly, never done it and never needed to. Modern grouts just dont require it.

You could stick the joints first, a rarely seen process in the 21st century, it helps. Also the growth of rapid grouts like mapei etc are unnecessary with a ceramic generally, a standard type like Bal wall would be easier. Bring back the 80s, think of all the pegs you could get in those side satchel pockets.
