    This video should be titled "How to pretend you are going to regrout tile, but not really do it."

      This is how I do home repairs. I buy some new tools and then explain to my wife how I will properly fix the issue. Then,

      In my head this is how I would solve the issue I have with my tiles, though slabbering shite like this doesn't fix it

    An excellent and very thorough 'explanation' of the process... concise clear and to the point . You successfully covered all of the answers I was looking for (info only). However I would have used the word 'explanation' instead of 'demonstration'.

    it would have been nice to actually SEE you doing it! also, could you explain why we need to remove the old grout? what's wrong with simpply grouting over?

    • @aanon5716
      @aanon5716 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      if you have mildew or mold on the tile which shows as discolored, it will infect the new grout & discolor it also.plus it wont lay correctly. it will rise above the tile.

    lucky is the homeowner who has the skill to do this right, because i just paid $800. to regrout my grandparents bathroom tile-shower & floor. he was a local handy man, a company i called wanted $1200. he did a great job.

  • @gearhead1492
    @gearhead1492 9 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    There is a $25 toool called Grouter Outer that removes grout from floor tile much faster than this, and it does not eat up expensive blades every few tiles. And all you need is a drill.

    what was that at the end about a silicon seal? Is there a step that comes after the ones covered in the 'talk'?

  • @Emilmarch

    So after applying the new grout, we have to apply silicone on top of it? If so, how? I am guessing using masking tape?

    I don't think I fully explained, I have already removed the tiles from the bathroom walls, and now there is 1/8" grout remaining on the edges of the tiles, this is what needs to be removed? I would like to restore and reuse these vintage tiles?

  • @tigerdeer
    @tigerdeer 10 ปีที่แล้ว +45

    Fail! We could have read all this from a text document! The whole point of a video is to demonstrate to people how things are done!
    Waste of time.

    It's not simple at all. Removing grout is very laborious.

  • @tonosrecords
    @tonosrecords 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have removed my wall tiles, now that I've done that I would like to remove the remaining grout from these vintage tiles, is there a tool for that?

    • @buddybellwether2188
      @buddybellwether2188 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, Dremel bit no. 568, with the guard (sold separately). the bit is about $22 plus free shipping from Dremel on amazon.com and it's $14.?? for the guard (also free shipping) on Dremel @ amazon. Just stay away from the oscillating tool because they are not as surgical as the no. 568 bit and it's way more forgiving in case of any mishaps.

    Question: Can I gradually gouge out the grout over a few days and still use the shower every day while I'm working on it?
    Also, can you use the shower during the 48 hours curing time?
    Nice clear instructions--thanks!

  • @robsmiley3188
    @robsmiley3188 11 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    first of all you don't need to remove all the old grout you actually just wanna take about an 1/8 inch deep and any loose moldy grout this video and info is practically useless im a tile setter and grout almost daily

    • @DebbieTomkoSUNSHINE
      @DebbieTomkoSUNSHINE 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Rob Smiley thanks...that's what I have to do, since I don't like the dark color grout used on my white marble floor....:-). Always test your grout color before installing tile...:-)

    Why Don't you just use the Grout Shield color sealer you sell in all your store's Thats so much easier and more cost effective

  • @littlemissy8356
    @littlemissy8356 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I used the plug in tool. The problem here is that it is really easy to go into the tile. I did do that. I won't use that tool again.

  • @stephanietunney1289
    @stephanietunney1289 7 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    His explanation is nice, but if you're going to demonstrate, you need to ACTUALLY DO THE WORK. Not as helpful as I would have wanted. Moving on....

  • @r.broderick2222
    @r.broderick2222 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I thought this was video of how to remove grout. You give two ways to do it, but you don't show the process. This is more like an ad for the grout products you are displaying.

  • @mrt9031
    @mrt9031 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Done this several times. The saw isn't much cop.Better using a sharp drill bit running it up and down lines by hand

    Pretending to show how to re-grout is not the same thing as actually showing how to do it.

    At least be honest in your description or people will feel deceived when you fail to live up to the promise of the video's description. This video only shows the tools/steps necessary. You ought to add a warning to your summary in parentheses for subsequent viewers ...e.g., "WARNING: this is just a basic how-to outline, NOT a hands-on demonstration." This video may actually contribute to a negative public image for your brand, despite being slightly helpful. Accuracy is important if you hold your company up as a source of expert information/advice.
