About this deal

Once you have mixed grout and applied to the wall or floor – assuming that all prep was done correctly and left to dry according to manufacturers instructions – grout should last anywhere between five and ten years. This depends on the area you are sealing. If you are sealing wall tiles that aren’t exposed to moisture or high traffic once every five years should suffice. In reality for areas like this, you don't really need to seal the grout at all. For floor tiles or kitchen tiles that are going to be exposed to more dirt and debris you should think about resealing your grout every three years. When finished sweep down the tiles and grout with a stiff hand brush and wipe with a clean damp cloth and leave to dry. Don’t forget to vacuum up the dust. When dry apply the grout sealer. 6. If all else fails — regrout your tiles Only got this to brighten up my grout, wasn’t in a bad way but just wanted it clean looking. Didn’t even cover half a small bathroom and the nib just keeps going into the tube, had to keep pulling it out with tweezers- waste of money.

Brilliant pen, covered our whole en-suite shower cubicle grouting and made it look like new, effective and cheap and very easy to use. Found the nib lasted absolutely fine if you just press it a couple of times and shake to release the fluid and then don’t press it whilst actually using it, just glide it over the surface. Highly recommend!Get a fine grade sandpaper – P180 is ideal – and a paint scraper or filling knife and wrap around the blade and then run it up, down and across the grout. Alternatively, just fold the sandpaper and use the edge.

Yes and no. If your grout is old and lifting because moisture has gone behind parts of the tiles it is not worth putting new grout over the old. If your grout is still in reasonable condition you can apply new grout but you will only be able to add a thin layer and it will only be a temporary measure especially in areas exposed to a lot of water i.e. a shower. verifyErrors }}{{ message }}{{ /verifyErrors }}{{ Steam clean grout with a narrow nozzle hand-held attachment to get a good-looking finish (Image credit: Getty Images) 4. Cover up with a grout pen However, in areas where the grout is going to be exposed to a lot of moisture or water you need to add new grout sealer every 12 months. Consider siliconing a shower or sealing a bath after adding the grout sealer to help protect the grout in areas where water and moisture will accumulate. How long does grout last? The grout pen works like tippex, do you remember when you were in school. The Tippex bottle used to get clogged and gluey. Lumps would come out with the brush after you had used it a few times. Then do you remember, if you wanted to you could easily scratch the tippex off. Well grout pens are similar. They do not go into your grout, they sit on top. Giving you a fresh white look initially. However after wear and tear it will start to flake away. Some bits will stay put and other bits will fall offYour grout may be at a point that no amount of cleaning can restore it to its former glory. You’ll either have to make do with the old grout or admit defeat and and think about regrouting tiles. This will be a more time-consuming job than cleaning, but you will get nice new clean grout to look at and enjoy.
