  • This is how to remove grout and re grout tiles the easy way. Through the use of a oscillating multi tool with a grout removal blade / tool we can easily remove grout without damaging tiles and making very little mess. The tiles used to look dirty all the time as the grout had become brittle and started to crumble and fall out. This is how to fix this.

    Good video mate, but next time emphasis on not getting the blade to far into the back of the grout so you dont risk damaging any waterproofing would be another useful tip. Make sure to check out the thickness of the tile first and make sure you dont go beyond this. While the new grout might stop water getting to damaged WP, it could easily turn disastrous overtime and you won't know till floors, wall, start to exhibit water damage. Not against regrouting at all, just understand the substrate behind your tile and take necessary precautions

    You are officially my DIY hero LOL. I would never have thought to use the multi-tool. I've been procrastinating over this job for 2 years, dreading the thought of scraping the old grout. Thank you.

    Good video, in addition cover the floor with a suitable cloth to minimise clean-up, once grout is applied wait at least 10-15 minutes for initial set, then clean off excess grout in a diagonal motion with well wrung sponge and rinse often in your bucket of water, when dry polish off haze...

    I'm removing last year's bad grout job the building management did in an apartment I'm renting. Giving my hands a break (I've got CTS), I came across your video. I'm so old school, I was doing it by hand with a razor blade--never thought about using a multi-tool. Glad I found this video. The job will go much quicker now. Thanks!

    Hi, thanks for the great video. I see that you recommend not cutting too deep if the old grout is still good. That means the new layer of grout is a bit thin. Is there a recommended minimum depth for the new grout layer to be strong enough? Cheers!

  • @davidrogers7137
    @davidrogers7137 Год назад

    Perfect timing and answered a very pertinent question for me.
    Very novice. First tile job in shower. Panicked when haze wouldn’t come off. Thought I’d scratched tiles. Used 50/50 vinegar water and massively pleased to clean the haze. Perhaps over exuberant cleaning started to pit new grout (post 48hr dry)
    Made decision to remove and redo. Using manual method as I don’t own multi tool and grinder makes me too nervous for damage.
    Question was do I need to remove ALL grout. Some areas I’m satisfied with. This video clearly suggests not.
    Also some areas that have ground down literally popped into a crevasse suggesting my initial fill coverage was unsatisfactory.

    Looks great! Once the grout has dried i also use a grout sealer to waterproof wet areas like showers, reason being the grout remains porous. In newer homes where the shower has been sealed correctly before tiling you can get away with not using it but i find homes 20 years plus in age the job does not last well without sealing the grout.

  • @bacanright
    @bacanright 4 года назад +18

    Adds two more seconds to remove all the old grout just as you demoed so the new grout will have a more complete bond that’s less prone to cracks and thus mold. Go the extra minor effort for a more durable finish.

    • @huejanus5505
