Discuss Which grout to use outdoors in Spain? in the Tiling News; Tile News area at TilersForums. USA and UK Tiling Forum

Please checkout the following advertisement.
Down on the Costa del Sol, it gets very hot and sometimes it pours down and the rain seeps through the grout and collects and helps lift the paint from the walls and fills the lift shaft with water etc etc. What grout should we use to prevent this happening? Thanking you all in advance. Spanishden

If the tiles are still sound - you could try Epoxy grouting. Really you should remove tiles and waterproof the substrate.

Short term if tiles arent porous epoxy grout may help!

I think you should be thinking about checking where the water is gettin in through the substrate and not just a temporay fix......

temporary.......but not cheap use mapei kerapoxy(26 colours) but it is written the tile standards that tiles, https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/ and grout cannot be guaranteed to provide a water tight structure......even in swimming pools. The basic structure behind tile must be water tight. In which case for a permanent solution;

1 remove existing tile and abrade off https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/ residue
2 repair cement:sand rendering with mapei nivoplan
3 waterproof with mapei mapelastic
4 fix tile in mapei keraflex maxi
5 grout with mapei ultracolor plus (26 colours)
6 fill movement joints with mapei mapesil AC colour to match grout

go back and have a siesta knowing the jobs complete and you won't be going back!!
