Great how-to. Short and straight to the point. All killer, no filler. Saved the video for when I'm ready to tackle this bathroom. Thanks and hi from Scotland
This is super helpful if you happen to buy a house where the previous owner DIY'd a shower install and definitely didn't do the best job on the grout *raises hand*
You can cut the time in half if u have a multimaster tool. I bought a 1/4 grout grinding blade and used a vacuum to removed the dust. Way less prep and way easier to clean.
use the edge of a credit card cut at a angle for the silicone bit, if you use your finger it leaves a curve in the silicon where the water can sit and cause mildew, the straight edge of a credit card makes the silicone into a flat triangle type of shape so the water just drips off
hi, ive been told that you dont grout the bottom of the shower where the walls meet the floor because this is a cracking point, it just needs to be siliconed,,,,,, is this also true for the tiles that meet in the corners "vertically"??, thanks in advance
You only leave a curve if you didn't use enough silicone. If you cut your tip at a proper angle, you'll fill any void space and, when pressing your finger, create a smooth soft-triangle that water runs off of. Cards or tools leave far more imperfections and have much greater failure rates for mildew/mold due to worn out rubber/imperfections. There is never any subtitute for your finger (don't use a glove either as this can cause bunching/imperfections in the silicone).
installing new grout is best done to moist grout so that there is a chemical bond that takes place. This is called rooting. Depending on the grout you use (some set up much faster) you must sponge tool the grout much sooner than 30 minutes or your looking at a real tough job of tooling and removing excess especially on textured tile or natural stone. . Scraping off exces? there should not be any excess only a film haze on the tile to be removed using a dry towel to buff off.
I can't believe this video has so many views when the basics of grouting are done wrong! Smh.... You ALWAYS clean the excess grout off before you allow it to dry!
I will never use white grout again. The best grout color is gun powder grey because no matter how many times you clean that white grout it will show mold and any stains.
I do not have a problem with my white grout, other than around the tub. I spray the entire shower tile and grout with diluted bleach over night once a month to maintain it white.
Will be doing this soon! I just painted the mildew ceiling and walls with kilz and gave it some fresh paint! The tile kills the new look so I have to regrout it.
@@repairs101 so I live in apartments and don't want to do all this scraping work (bad shoulder) can I just regrout it the way it is? I mean half of it is gone already. It fell out
@@LD-wj2nd I would not. I recommend getting help to do the raking if you're not capable (pretty sure I mentioned it being physically challenging). Otherwise it's going to continue to fall out and ruin all your hard work. Adequate preparation is key to success.
I use to struggle with caulking and could never do i nice clean line until someone showed me a trick. You put a line of caulking, then with finger smooth it out, and then with a moist rag light wipe the excess caulking away for a straight clean thin linr of caulking.
Can’t wait to do this to my bathroom this weekend and change my curtains n stuff cause it’s time and my damn landlord not doing it but it’s a self project I’m also interested in doing ❤
I am renovating a house to turn into a rental. This video came in clutch cause I was sad about redoing tile!! Now I’m just going to redo the grout! Should I use a sealer on the grout? What’s the difference of using it vs not? I looked on google and that’s a dam rabbit hole of use it or death and gloom lol
If you pause the action at 00:40 - when I say "I went with this redimix stuff" You will see the tubes of mud branded ACE TILE GROUT and I highly recommend the stuff as I made this video almost exactly 10 years ago today and my surround STILL LOOKS GREAT after 10 years daily use! But no doubt different products will be available to you depending on where you live. Go with the redimix for better consistency. I would only mix grout from powder if i was doing a whole swimming pool and cost was a factor.
Was ist das für ein Werkzeug mit dem Sie die Fugen leer kratzen ich suche so etwas schon seit langem und ich weiß nicht wie es heißt. Ich brauche es dringend, ich würde mich freuen wenn Sie mir die Antwort sagen würden danke schön im voraus❤
Better yet install 12 x 24 inch tile installed vertically with just enough space to use sanded grout (non sanded grout never holds). About 33 (12 x 24) tiles over the tub are all you need with minimum tile cutting. Cheap solid tile surround!!
ICYMI Bing, I did NOT paint the tiles. It may seem like I said that because of my thick Canadian accent but I assure you if you watch again you will see I said I painted the walls and ceiling (that dark blue colour) in preparation for the shower surround grout renewal. NO TILES were painted. They were cleaned and re-grouted and any difference in the before and after pix are due to an unintentional change in lighting.

Did you get all of the grout out before re-grouting or did you just need to scrape off the discolored portion and then remove the sand before putting a new clean coat on? Thanks!
OK ok so the thing is a huge percentage of Canadians themselves or their ancestors sought refuge here from poverty, oppression, persecution, war, genocide, slavery, famines and plagues. Its nothing new.
One of the best how to / quick videos I've seen - excellent work! ...only problem is you make it look too easy 🤣 ... respectively you acknowledge with labor hours... Just awesome 👍
Sorry for the late but i don't come often on youtube this time... Work work work.... and heatwave ! Thanks for this sharing and big thumbs up. (and sorry for my bad english)
if you go to your local diy store they can advise,,, i am soon going to undertake this job for my shower, i am getting all the stuff i need ready and finding out as much info as i can,,,, my local diy store said that it does need sealing,,(thats what they told me),, there are a few diff products you can but, but i opted for a "spray on" sealer,, just seems like it will be an easier thing to do...
@@krisserven hi, it went well,,, i ended up going with a brush on sealer, it was the most expensive at $100 but it was the best quality and i opted to go for quality as i didnt want any problems down the track... i applied the sealer onto the tiles with a paint brush and it couldnt have been any easier,, once the sealer had dried (as per instructions on the tin), i siliconed the shower where i had to and that was it ,, finished.. thanks
Hello...thanks for sharing your knowledge. Was the original grout in your shower a sanded or non-sanded grout? If it was a sanded grout, did you have to remove all of the old grout or just a portion of the old grout prior to re-grouting? Thanks
Mike R At 0:40 I point out (in the graphic overlay) that one generally uses unsanded grout if the gap is less than 1/8th of an inch (3mm) and sanded if the gap is greater than 1/8th of an inch (3mm) - my bad it goes by so quick - my filmmaking skills have improved some since then. That said, in answer to your question: it was unsanded grout (the gaps are small) and I removed a surface layer only, exactly as shown in the video.
Also, be careful ...when I did this on my mothers bathroom, tiles began falling off the wall...lol. I tried to get her to agree to have new white tiles put in, but she insisted on keeping the old pale blue tiles from 1970....lol. The only problem was, a few tiles broke from the fall....so I had to extend the shower/tub design (which were new) to cover the space for the missing tiles....lol. In the end, she loved it....well, except for the gloss sealer I used that dripped and ran down on the gloss tiles...I forgot to wipe the tiles off and didn't notice it, but when my mother was finally able to take a bath, (it took me a long time...a week or so), the first thing she noticed was the drips on the tile....:-(. I was too exhausted to try to remove and clean all the tiles, so I told her it would wear off.....:-) Oh, she only had one full bathroom....:-)
Tiles were never painted. Just the walls and ceiling. Before/after pic different due to change of lighting after bulb burned out and replaced with slightly brighter bulb.
I never painted tile before so I have no clue. Try Debbie Travis - episodes of her old TV show demonstrates and even recommends paint to use . th-cam.com/users/TheDebbieTravis
Hello, Excellent Video. So you used the same Dow Corning Silicone sealant in between the tiles on the shower wall as well as in the corners? I saw some other videos ,, for corners they suggested using a material that can expand and contract in case of any structural movement ..hence asking...thanks again
@@repairs101 I agree with that! But since I will live here long term it’s worth it. The tiles look nasty! I removed half the bathroom and it did take a few hours to only remove.
Hi there quick question. Bathroom are leaking because the grout got a very mini hole, approx 0.4mm. Can I just use. Silicon gun to seal tht hole... save all the troubles.
I don't know - mine is three years old and still looks as good as when I did it. Perhaps your surfaces weren't clean enough to create a proper bond? Maybe you didn't rake deep enough and only left a skim coat of grout? Maybe the grout you used was expired and too dry / separated to work? Unfortunately all you can do is start over.
The grout lines in my bathroom are no more than 1/8". Grout has loosened or been removed in only a few spots, so filling them in with ready-made grout--like the tubes from Ace Hardware in this clip--should do the trick. The rest of the grout could be easily painted with one of those specialty, DIY products.
Are those the same tiles or did you paint them? They look bluer. This was such an easy informative video and I will be doing this in a few weeks. Thank you!!!
Great observation and point Aaron, the commentor annoyed somehow thinks the tile is a person and has feelings,or struggles with reading comprehension, most likely is one of those sensitive people who cant take constructive criticism. I scoured the comments for exactly your point to confirm what i thought was the BEST way to do it even if its not the "right" way seeing as how there is always more than one way to pluck a chicken👌👌. Never seen someone risk scratching the tiles in cleanup or got thru that extent of work. Your comment will help lots of ppl even if they dont say thanks
@Sergey Romanchenko sigh... smh.. im wondering if she is this guys wife or something that one would feel the need to be negative to a suggestive and helpful comment. Internet antagonists are abound man. Nothing suprises me these days,like to be fair to her ,maybe she does drive on flat tires and flip off the ppl on the road trying to warn her. Lol Who gets annoyed with someone trying to help?.. jeez

Multi master tool? Where do I get one?
It’s a tool that multiple people use to masturbate with at once.

Use a piece of timber (a sharp 6mm wide tip) and a washing up liquid in water spray to point the silicone at a 45 degree angle for best results

I will never use white grout again. The best grout color is gun powder grey because no matter how many times you clean that white grout it will show mold and any stains.
I have white grout and I always hated it. It is not maintainable and shows so much mold
I do not have a problem with my white grout, other than around the tub. I spray the entire shower tile and grout with diluted bleach over night once a month to maintain it white.
A lot of people would reather see the mold and get rid of it, with darker colors youre just hiding the mold and not fixing it making it worse for you
Use blue painters tape when putting caulking around the tub. Gives it a nice clean line.
Will do👍
That's exactly what I do ALL THE TIME. PERFECT CAULK LINES GUARANTEED!
I love the tip about about hanging plastic sheets so you can continue using the shower.
Make sure you take them down after your shower or your grout will never dry.
Fer sure! A very important point for it to be a great job.
Do you have any video how to remove a broken key from the door ? Thank you

I have a question. Shouldn’t the grout be sealed after you replace it? If so what do I use, what’s the best product.
I did not seal the new grout and it is still gleaming white all these years later.

Thanks for taking the time! Keep cool!
WOW, the project even improved the color of the tiles....LOL
Great video! will this work on floor tiles as well? If yes, how much of the existing grout should i remove?
Sure, but you"ll likely need heavier Sanded grout. Dig out as much of the old grout as you can. The more new material the better the adhesion.
You should put grout on moist or even wet base.
Hey my Mason has used white cement as grout will it be okay. Plzz reply
How do you call that yellow tool you use? I need that.
Also what was the name of the tool you used to apply the grout?
Things you will need......everything at home depot.

I don't recommend painting tile. (No I didn't.) Ask Debbie Travis.

how deep should i saw the grout down? I sawed only enough to get the old stuff out - should i saw more?

Brother, what's the best type grout to use and must one use a sealant after?
It looks like the tile changed color. Was it that filthy ?
Change of lighting illusion. A bulb was replaced with a brighter one.
@@repairs101 so if you are spray painting the tub, that should come second to re-grouting right?
Amazing clean job 👍👍👍👍

very labor intensive ! (hard)
How do you get the grout into the corners , where the walls meet? Or do you just use caulk for corners?
Cornering tool or Pointing trowel Watch the video again.
Can u tell me how much you would charge for a job like this
At least a thousand bucks but I'm a Union worker so I don't work cheap.
Can you do this for dingy grout around small bathroom tiles from 1920? Grout is grey and dirty from 100 years.
Its going to a lot more work than bigger tiles.
@@repairs101 I agree with that! But since I will live here long term it’s worth it. The tiles look nasty! I removed half the bathroom and it did take a few hours to only remove.
How much something like this cost to get done by a professional or contractor
I don't know. I never paid to have it done.
But I would probably charge $1,000 CDN
That’s so beautiful 😍
Now it's years later and it still looks just as good!
What was the scraper you were using to remove the silicone?
it's called a ProPrep 200 but i think the company went out of business

Hi there quick question. Bathroom are leaking because the grout got a very mini hole, approx 0.4mm. Can I just use. Silicon gun to seal tht hole... save all the troubles.
Yes
Joker Maxmen no just pick up some grout pre mixed use something thin and make the hole about an inch long and place the new grout in 😊
Once done leave 10mins wipe off excess with a clean sponge. Pro tiler.
Did you paint the tiles ? They look a different color and if so what did you paint with and the process
Nope.
Nope ? Nope did you not paint the tiles? Did you just clean it ? And if so what did you use to clean your tile ?
i don't know why the grout is chipping out after couple of months of installing? what is the best solution for this.Thanks
I don't know - mine is three years old and still looks as good as when I did it. Perhaps your surfaces weren't clean enough to create a proper bond? Maybe you didn't rake deep enough and only left a skim coat of grout? Maybe the grout you used was expired and too dry / separated to work? Unfortunately all you can do is start over.
What is the brand for the grout you use to put in a tile Mud,
The grout lines in my bathroom are no more than 1/8". Grout has loosened or been removed in only a few spots, so filling them in with ready-made grout--like the tubes from Ace Hardware in this clip--should do the trick. The rest of the grout could be easily painted with one of those specialty, DIY products.
Are those the same tiles or did you paint them? They look bluer. This was such an easy informative video and I will be doing this in a few weeks. Thank you!!!
Same tiles no paint no tricks - any apparent difference would be due to camera/lighting. Good luck with yours!
I think he teabagged the tiles before hand,or maybe the tiles...or probably both
Was prob lot of build up soap scum on. Bath im working on now in rental had layer of scum a scrspped off with razor and made tiles look way better
You are supposed to wipe the grout off with a damp sponge before it dries. That looks painful scratching it off the piece of plastic...🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Pretty sure the tiles didnt cry or scream because of it. U ppl annoy me
Great observation and point Aaron, the commentor annoyed somehow thinks the tile is a person and has feelings,or struggles with reading comprehension, most likely is one of those sensitive people who cant take constructive criticism. I scoured the comments for exactly your point to confirm what i thought was the BEST way to do it even if its not the "right" way seeing as how there is always more than one way to pluck a chicken👌👌. Never seen someone risk scratching the tiles in cleanup or got thru that extent of work. Your comment will help lots of ppl even if they dont say thanks
@Sergey Romanchenko sigh... smh.. im wondering if she is this guys wife or something that one would feel the need to be negative to a suggestive and helpful comment. Internet antagonists are abound man. Nothing suprises me these days,like to be fair to her ,maybe she does drive on flat tires and flip off the ppl on the road trying to warn her. Lol Who gets annoyed with someone trying to help?.. jeez
