- A video describing how I replaced the grout in my kitchen.
The house I'm living in was built in the 1950s. Some of the grout in the kitchen may have been this old. Some sections were chipped and missing, Some sections had been replaced with sanded grout and some sections were so soft that the grout came out with a tooth pick.
This video show's how I removed the old grout and replaced it with new non-sanded grout. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
just bought a house built in 1969, I’m a first time homeowner and had no idea what was wrong with our kitchen grout. Now i realize it’s basically all gone! Thank you so much for this video!
Thank you very much for loading this tutorial. I just completed my bathroom tiles using your instructions! I looks outstanding!! Whew! Dang, it's alot of work! But I'm a 51 year old woman, so I can be worn out! I would tell anyone grouting that they'll be in a grumpy mood from all that!! ;)
Well my aunt is 88 and walks the entire flight of stairs up and down of the NY Supreme ct. building on Centre st (yes, the one in Law & Order, etc lol) every day to stay in shape, so we in our 50's can really start moving it! 😄 (well, barring physical restrictions, of course).
Oh, And I wasn't trying to downplay your achievement there as that is certainly a lot of manual labor and lots of muscle work!! I'm just trying to keep us all motivated! And physician heal thyself because I'm sitting here with my quarantine 15 that I need to start getting rid of! 😳🙄Anyway, just didn't want that to be taken the wrong way and great job girl!
Wow - wish I'd seen this before my first, second, third and fourth tile project!!!! Great tips for making it less odious - I didn't wait long enough and apparently used way more grout than necessary so had huge waste to clean up. I can't believe how far a small cup of that grout went. Going to tregrout my first tile project tomorrow with your tips. Thanks!
Thank you! Here's to caring for our old treasures rather than ripping then out for a cheap, awful "upgrade"! Looking forward to doing this project on our 1947 kitchen quite soon. (Our tile is similar to yours - black and white and the counter is rhombus-set rather than square, though the back-splash is square-set, like yours) Great demo. Thanks again!
Excellent demonstration on how to repair kitchen counter grout - very inspiring!
Your video is still helping people fix the kitchen tile grout. Thanks!
Thank you for this video. I will be tackling my kitchen countertop which is over 20 years old.
I'm very excited to tackle the nasty grout in my kitchen. I am pretty sure we have the exact same kitchen, the tile looks exactly like mine (1949) and we even have that little metal rectangle with the old knob in our backsplash!
SO much better than having to replace with granite $$$. Thank you! I will be attempting this tonight.
My house is 60 years old, and the tile, it's color, the countertop, the window, and the string of the blind are the same! Thanks for the tutorial, cause I'm putting new grout right there.
Thanks for the video, Nick! I'm a newby replacing grout--your instructions are great!
Special Thanks for this vital and well done how to Re-grout. Very, very clear & helpful!!!!!
Will be trying this shortly-looks so cheap and easy! Thank you!!
Thanks for clear and concise instructions. You made it look easy! 😋
You make it look so easy, thanks for sharing!
Thanks a million! Counters turned out great thanks to this video.
Thanks!!! You make it look dimple and doable! I learned some important points. Like wait till we can leave the counter unused for a few days!
Cool. That was exactly what I needed. Thank you.
Great video! I just bought a house, and they reno'd the shower with tile - but didn't seal it (according to the home inspector) so all the grout needs to come out and get replaced (cause of the moisture damage). This video really helped me out! I'm going to get started this afternoon. - Rebecca
Thank you for the tutorial. Much appreciated. Our counter top is pretty beat up, but I like it better with bright white grout. You rock!
Thank you for keeping this video up. This was very useful advice and it looks like something I could definitely do. Good Job!!
This worked great! Followed every step and used the same products and my bathroom floor looks like new again. Got the same grout online at Walmart for $6 and a rubber trowel on line at Walmart for $6 and both had free shipping since it was sold through a third party vendor. I used dryer sheets instead of cheesecloth and it worked great. Plan to do the second bathroom floor this weekend. Thanks for taking the time to make this video!
Colleen Patterson thank you for your kind words
how long will that last? it seems that it's so thin, that it might chip out eventually.
The sound when you're scraping the old grout makes my teeth hurt. Lol
thank you so much! i was going to start this process and was a bit intimidated. with your step-by-step i am certain my countertop will look tons better--just like yours. who knows...i might just keep it as is for another bunch of years. the tile is in great shape and i like having something older and different than just about everyone else, but i don't like it looking nasty like the grout does now. this looks like it will do the job! so excited now....!!!! thanks, again. :)
Awesome!!! Will work on our countertops this weekend!
Thk u for all the good useful tips. Need to do this near kitchen sink area so watching this sure gave me lots of info to do it properly. Good video!!!
Tile counters over here too! Thank you! This is very helpful!
Thanks so much , this is exactly what I need to do to my counter top . It's almost Identical to yours!
Very informative. Thank you!
Seems like all those 1940's and 1950's houses, at least here in southern California, came with either peach or pink kitchen and bathroom tile. Mine did. Built in 1943.
Thanks you make it look so easy!
Yea that's all great and thanx for the video, but what I want to see (and what typically gets missed) is how to get the counter edges (vertical spots) and between outlets and behind the sink sections that the big flat tool cant get to. The big flat section is the easy part.
I have the same tile and my house is old and this stuff looks awful I've tried everything this video was just what i needed to find thank you
so satisfying ! Im gonna do this tomorrow! thanks man
I'll grant you the tile is 1950's..But there is no way the stuff you removed with a windshield removal tool is grout..if it were 50 plus yrs old it would be so hard that you would slide across the tile surface and scratch the the ole tile..There would be dust and chips neither of which were seen, what you removed was a silicone based pre-mixed grout and not the old portland based cementous grout..Hydetools have a Regrout Tool that gets the job done on original old grout!
Thanks! going to do this to my 60 plus year old tile countertop. BTW my tiles and the trim are the exact same colors as yours!
Thank you, best video I have seen.
Thank you, very helpful!
Thanks; I'm buying all the necessary stuff today. My house is from 1953, and grout lines are awful.
Thanks. Gonna do my 50 year old tiled countertop..
Thank you for sharing super helpful
That was the best how to videoI!❤😮😮
Did you not completely remove all grout? Did you just remove the dirty layers of grout and expose the old but still fully intact original grout to have something for the new grout to adhere to?
I literally have the same type of tile and tile design. Thanks
Thanks for posting this!! I appreciate it
Thank you for the informative video, I just wandered if you could advise about regrouting the kitchen sink, thank you
Literally my kitchen tile, lol
wonderful
I wish I saw this sooner. Next time when I need to redo the crappy work I did and I probably messed up my sink too 😪well it is still old and leaking so, I’m still good but once it’s fixed I’ll keep this video saved for when I redo it the right way and not waste so much grout powder.
Thank you for sharing! My kitchen tiles are the same. Same colors of yellow and pink. Would there be chance of mold growing in the cracks where grout used to be? I'm always cleaning it every day but want to regrout. What would you recommend for all the cracks in between? 2cm wide at most.
Where did you get your grout removal?
Awesome! Thx so much!
My parent's house had that exact tile!
Judging from the type of tile around the sink at the 03:07 camera angle change...do you have a video or have plans for a future video of how to replace a sink with this type of tile?
What is that attachment on the scraper for?
Currently i have dark brown sanded grout on both the counter and the back in various stages of fall-apartedness. Do you think it would work to remove all the brown and replace with white? or is that just asking for trouble.
do you seal your grout? also is it ok to leave some cracked tile or do they have to be replaced?
Thank you this was very helpful. If you were to do the backsplash tiles as well would you do it all at once? I’m wondering where I should start first
How do we grout the edges of the countertop? My countertop looks like yours in the video. It's time for me to do the edges and I'm making a huge mess.
I need one of those scraping tools. Did you buy it a Home Depot?
my house countertop is same exact tile color scheme must have been popular back in 1959
Thanku dear
What type of material towel did you use to polish the countertop ?
What kind of sealer id you use?
I have the exact same counter. I’d like to preserve the edge and replace the interior tiles with quartz. Is that possible?
Did you seal it after it cured?
Hi there, thanks for this video we will be doing this in our 1955 home soon. Can you give any specifics about the tool you used to scrape the grout? Thank you
Should you seal the grout???
Thanks
I been looking for a video like this forever. My counters are peeling some glue like substance. How to I get that off to replace the grout? Thank you
You just saved me a ton of $
Q: is it the same process, if you have, Marble floors, for your kitchen,..????
Where can I get the tools used to remove the grout?
I don’t understand the 1/8th inch comment- does it mean if the old grout is 1/8th inch lower than the surface of the tile??
Where do you get the grout removal tool? I can't seem to find it.
I can't find it either, and it looks like what I need.
Found it; by reading down the comments, someone pointed out that it's called a windshield removal tool. Google that, and you'll find it. I bought one on ebay.
Hi can i use white cement?
but what was the name of ghr powder that you mixed with water to a creamy consistency
Grout
@withasodaonthisside1 how do I know when to use sanded or non sanded grout?
It's a taste and preference thing... Personally, if the grout lines are wider than a 1/4 inch I use sanded. If they less than 1/4 inch wide I'll use unsanded.
I need to regrout my kitchen countertop titles, can I just put the new grout over existing? It's going from light color to dark color grout.
You should remove the existing grout, applying a thin grout layer on the existing stained grout will not hold.
So I need to get a "tile grout trowel"?
Can you do the back splash the same way?
i dont have days to wait i need to it in one go... is using a blow dryer to dry the counter after removing the gunk a horrible idea? :(
Can I repaint my tile kitchen countertop is about 20 years old I need new life on it please help
Isn’t that a tool for removing windshields?
Ok how long is a few minutes? 5 minutes?
Am I the only one singing red solo cup when he said it?
I bought old house and I need do this in my bathroom wall ,the tile are black and my wife hate the color but I don't have the money for new tiles now :(
Maybe you can buy a little of the materials over time, like each paycheck get few more.
So far that tool your using to remove the grout is a windshield replacement tool called a cold knife.......
That sound fucked up my teeth arrrg
Got no clue
