Thank You Sir!♡
Clear instructions and demonstration, with an easy on the ear speaking voice.
Awesome!
off to elbow grease grout now!
Thank you
Exactly. To the point and nicely described . Why do people unlike vids like this ?
❤
use a oscillating multi-tool and save on elbow grease :)
5 years later I find this. Probably one of the BEST straight to the point, DIY home repair I have watched. If you still see replies...thank you sir and I wish you the BEST.
Thank you!
i dont even have to fix any grout i just like feeling like i have a dad teaching me things
That’s why I’m here.
You are loved Ian, thank you for sharing ❤
"Dad! Dad, is that you! Please stop yelling at me..."
😂😅😂
This guy is so gentle mild and kind haha
The perfect DIY demonstration. That zoom on your grout removal was stellar. Thanks for taking the time to add that extra touch!
Wow, this was not just informative, but simple, clear, and well-paced information. Thank you so much for this service!
Thank you for a clearly shown demonstration! Your end result looks great.
Hey I saw this had 1m views but only 600 comments, I am just here to say thank you very much as this has helped me today replace some cracked grout! I will use your channel in the future for other endeavours!
Very Bob Ross-like pace and tone. Certainly educational. Thanks!
Taking a moment to appreciate that camera work. Thanks for the info and good camera work.
Thanks for the feedback, and for watching!
Thank you so much! I've got a few cracked out pieces of my grout that need to be filled and this will help immensely!
Thank you for the small important details like swiping the grout DIAGNOLLY when applying. Small details are so important. Great Video
Hey Susan - thanks for the feedback, and thanks for watching. :)
Perfectly informative and descriptive tutorial with no bs. Watching this video was like sipping a cold one after a long week. Thanks man!
I'm glad you liked it. Thank you!
Great video - very informative and full of confidence that this can be done DIY. Great delivery - much appreciated.
SMARTEST instruction I've seen yet. Thank you for your patient explanations and perfect speaking voice! ♥♥♥
@@hb2088 Perhaps you should be asking the maker of this video.
@@enriquesanchez2001 so sorry. I thought I did.
Thank you! My house is 2 years old and I found some sections of grout that are just plain missing and some that were cracking. Your video gave me the confidence to do it myself!
Nice!
This happens when your house is subject to a lot movement (vibrations) called settlement. Probably your tiles have been laid directly on wood which is not a good substrate to tile onto. Happened the same in place which wasn't built as well more than 2 years ago.
Can I use that little grout removal tool to remove grout on my kitchen floor ? Probably tough since it's a larger area plus the grout lines are thicker. thx
I love that this is clear and to the point without a lot of off the cuff chit chat in between that takes unnecessary time. This helps me so much!
Absolutely brilliant! Clear precise instructions!!! For a new DIYer this is exactly what I needed - thanks
Nicely done tutorial. I'm just about ready to regrout our shower wall tiles above the tub. When removing the cracked grout (over a week ago), I discovered (to my dismay) that there WAS NO MORTAR behind some of the tiles -- the 20-year-old gypsum wall had disintegrated from being wet. Instead of fixing a few grout lines, I ended up removing about 30 tiles and rebuilding 5 square feet of wall (with Durock), cleaning off and re-installing the old tiles with thinset, and FINALLY got to this point of regrouting. Took days, not including the 30-mile round trip to the nearest "big box store" for tools, materials and supplies. Your cheerful demeanor here gives me strength as I round the final lap in this project. THANKS!
Oof.. I feel your pain. I'm having flashbacks to when I bought my very first house around 20ish years ago... everything passed inspection, but the day we took possession I pulled up the carpeting in the family room as we planned to re-do the floors before moving in. The floor in one corner was damp and rotted almost completely through. Turns out the tiled shower in the master bathroom backed up to that room, and had been leaking for many years. Had to do a complete bathroom gut/remodel on top of all the other plans we already had for that house.
Anyhow, I'm glad to hear you are closing in on finishing your project! Sounds like you caught it before it got REALLY bad!
A very helpful and easy to watch video. You have a great teaching voice...easy to follow and not a lot of uhs and ums. Thanks for posting!
Thanks so much for the inspirational video! I never imagined I could re-grout my bathroom on my own, but now I know I can!
You can do it!
I can watch you all day! Thank you for making it look so simple for this single mom!
What a great teacher this man is! Speaks concisely, knows just how to demonstrate and point out the important pieces of information. Thank you for this video!
Wow, thanks!
Nice, clear, simple. Thanks for your approach.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks so much. Going to attempt some much needed grout repairs tomorrow. I appreciate you sharing your expertise.
Thank you for this video. Very straight forward, simple but helpful instructions and tips!
Thanks for the easy-to-understand, straight-to-the-point instructional video!
You're welcome!
Excellent discussion and demonstration. Demonstration of dealing with inside edge could add to completeness.
So clear and careful. Thanks for making it easy for everyone to deal with a common problem.
Thanks for watching!
Good cleaned job bro, easy and straight to the core.Thanks!
Thank you! Very clear, very precise, with sufficient explanation and subsequent demonstration. You are a very good teacher!!
Aww -- thank you, Mockingbird7504!
Ahh man as soon as I saw your face I knew this was going to be a good video! Your channel has been SO helpful to me, educating me with all kinds of necessary homeowner jobs. Thank you for another one!
Thanks, Amy!
Thank you for your video. I love how you gave such clear and simple but thorough instruction. Love it!
Thank you!
Within the first minute, this video wasn’t suitable for my needs. However this will now be my go to video next time I need to grout the bathroom.
Thank you.
Very useful instructions, clear and precise 👍
Thank you. You are a great teacher. You explain things well and have a kind demeanor .
So nice of you!
Well done. Very carefully instructed with product name and background reasons.
Thank you so much. This is excellent. I have some bathroom grout that has cracked over time and this video tells me exactly what I need to do and what to watch. Very well explained and easy to understand.
Glad it helped!
Oh boy, I am going to fix all the grout now! Thank you!
Video was very helpful and the simple and straightforward instructions enabled me to successfully re-grout my daughter and Son in law’s shower.
Yup, they've been tearing it up.
Thank you so much for the video. I feel confident enough to fix the cracks in my shower
I'm with arte C+: really good, clear video. After all of those careful, patient instructions, I would add that you want to use unsanded grout on the tiles due to the small distance between the tiles. Really good video. My thanks.
You really can learn anything on RUclips! Thanks!
Wow you made it so easy. Took me about 1/2 hours to repair a small section. Now to find one to replace silicone caulking around my shower.
After reading comments from so many other videos to not do what they do I found yours, and it helped a first timer so much. I’m not a handyman, so this was very useful and I thank you.
You are so welcome!
Thanks for the simple instruction
Thank you for the grout vid! Thank you multiple times.
Great video! Thanks for editing it and not repeating yourself a million times like everyone else does 😜
Glad you enjoyed it!
Excellent tutorial! Thanks.
Great Demo, well presented, not too long, Thank you
thank you for the clear instructions and great video
This is exactly the situation I have to deal with! Thank you!
Thank you for the instructions.
So glad I found your video. Easily explained. I’ve done a lot of home improvement jobs on my own but never grout. I have same problem as you did but in more spots. I found a bag of grout the previous owners left. They put the same exact tile on the floor so I’m assuming they used same grout for both bathtub tile and floor tile. Now all I need is to find out the right consistency to make it Making sure it’s not going to flake like you said if it’s too watery. Thanks. This helped a lot.
You are so welcome!
Perfect demonstration, just what i needed to see.
Thank You
Thank you for posting this video. Very detailed and simple for the DIY Homeowners not that experienced. Camera work was perfect. I went through roughly 10 other videos getting nervous on what my tiles will look like afterwards but now I am confident I can do this shower project by myself thanks to you. Like s the last post says - "Off to elbow grease now" GRIN!!!
Best of luck with your shower!
Explained and demonstrated very well, thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very simple easy to follow even for someone like me who has never done this! Thank you for this instructional! Your work looks amazing!!!
Thank you!
Nice video.
It has taken me a few attempts at this and its slowly looking better each time. Learning the amount of moisture required in the sponge and the amount of time to wait before sponging seems to be the key for me.
It's a delicate balance for sure. Thanks for watching!
Thanks❤ , and congratulations for your all of your excellent recommendations
Very nicely done! Thank you.
Great Video!! This definitely helped me repair my bathroom! Keep up the great work!
So glad it was helpful!
Great instructional video!
Heading down to my local BIG box store rn, thanks chief

You can do it!
Very well done, excellent instructions!

Thanks for the tips and tricks
Excellent quality, thanks for taking the time to help.
I like your presentation
Great demo! Thanks!
Good stuff, I’m going to buy a Ryobi One multi tool to remove the grout. It’ll come in handy for other tasks as well.
Thank you for this video!! I need to repair some grout cracks in my shower, I was about to hire a handyman to this, after seeing this video I feel I can do it myself!!

Super great video. Easy to follow. Thanks!
Thanks, Christian!
Awesome video. I didn't even know there was such a thing as a grout saw. Thank You.. .
Lol if you’ve used one, “grout saw” is a stretch for a name. This guys grout looked to crumble away nicely. Not the case for me lol
Yeah, it was in rough shape for sure.
AmplifyDIY mine is too but the grout is ancient. Half falls out and the other half grips like NASA put it there
I want to thank you for sharing this video it was really helpful I'll be doing this to my shower pretty soon cuz the grout is all cracked up n I really need to get it fixed I'll be going to the home Depot to get the tools I need to get the the job done n thanks again for your video I really learned something new not all home improvements are all hard I watch you videos n to be honest it's really helpful sometimes
Thank you, Gonzalo! Best of luck getting your shower fixed up!
Thanks so much for this! Step by step and easy to follow, even for an un-handy guy.
You got this!
@@AmplifyDIY Now the project is done and I’m very grateful for your online tutorial.
Thank you for this video! I've been in my house for about 2 years now. I've called the builder twice already about the same problem! now off to elbow grease grout!
Very helpful and informative.
Thank you so much
