Grout

mrochester · 18 Dec 2011 at 10:07

I'm a DIY noob. The first and only time I've used grout was a powder that had to be mixed with water to make the grout. I need to do a tiny amount of grouting in the bathroom (about 2cm worth needs replacing). Can you buy ready prepared grout that you just squirt/slap on?

Thanks

that will probably come in a 5 litre tub btw. might be cheaper just to get the powder stuff.

With the powder stuff, you don't have to worry about getting it neat, just make sure the joint is well filled, then wipe off any excess on the tile face with a damp cloth.

yeh use a covered finger to smooth it, get a much nicer finish than any finishing tool

You can get a tube from b&q which doesn't cost much.

Bought some a few months back to replace some grout. Turns out it was only the grout keeping the tiles on the walls - its now been re-tiled
