Removing grout

FluffySheep · 26 Aug 2015 at 15:06

Hi all.

I need to remove the grout from my bathroom tiles. I have a b&q grout rake but it will take me until hell freezes over and a divorce to clear it all out. Power tools I have looked at have pants reviews so what I am asking is can anyone sugggest a decent tool to remove old and tough grout? Please forget grout refreshing as its too stained and all needs removing and redoing.

Thanks in advance

I used a combination of grout rake, tile scribe, and stanley knife. It wasn't as lengthy a job as I had imagined at the outset.

A lot of people use multi-tools (the ones that oscillate) with a suitable tool to grind out grout.

Ive use that exact multitool, so long as you've got the right bit it shouldn't take long at all

Looks good. Kimi - can you tell me what is the name of that tool/bit please?

Got a dremel? They have grout remover attachments.

That's the Bosch - linky

Excellent multi-tool. Personally I prefer it to the dremel for general use.
