Grout Colorant

[Julie-Ann]

This is such a genius product. I stumbled across this today whilst visiting the Crosby Tiles showroom. We were discussing the biggest problem in life - grout. That is your biggest problem too - right???
So the concept is that you can repaint any grout any of these range of colours. And unlike the white grout pens these are not paint. They are an epoxy - epoxy is "Epoxy or polyepoxide is a thermosetting polymer formed from reaction of an epoxide "resin" with polyamine "hardener"" according to Wikipedia. Basically it's like really strong resin and glue combined.
So the colour soaks in to the grout and then seals on top of the grout.
So if you have grout that has discoloured in certain patches - that has to be most of us. Or you don't like the colour of your grout. This is the solution
Aqua Mix say it is good for:
"Recolour, rejuvenate and seal existing grout joints
Premium stain resistance, last up to 15 years
One part, waterborne epoxy
For Domestic and Commercial applications
Equally effective for interior and exterior"

You can see a video of how to apply it here.
Details can be found here.

Don't you think this is brilliant or have I just lost the plot???

This looks brilliant!
My old place needs a grout lift!

[Julie-Ann]

Hi Brookecourt so lovely to see you again. Did you buy a new place or are you back in your old home?
Glad I am not the only one who finds this exciting.

Very interesting, thank you! And looks easy to use?

[Julie-Ann]

So you watched the video then Nicola? I thought it looked easy too. They do suggest you only do 1m2 at a time because it can dry quickly. Great way to spruce up your bathroom or splashback. The white on our kitchen splashback has discoloured a little over 8 years so I was thinking of giving this a go.
