I am looking for some suggestions in regards to tile grout that is looking abit worn. I am toying with the thought of re-tiling due to me not liking the tiles but ill leave that subject for later............ Now back to the grout:lol: I am wondering whether it would be worth calling someone to clean the grout????????? how effective would it be??? How easy of a job is it to re-do the grout (not me doing it, but calling someone to do it) ??? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated Re: Tile Grout 2Jan 30, 2008 8:04 pm Hey, Ash, you pedantic purist. are you out there?? : Amber's just said "grouting" 4 times when she should have said "grout".

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated Amber, What do you mean when you say "the grout is looking a bit worn"? Grout normally doesn't wear. It certainly can become soiled and sometimes stained. Being below the tile surface, grout doesn't wear unless maybe acids have been used on a regular basis. Acids will etch and gradually eat away at the grout. Got any pics? If you aren't yet ready to re-tile, I certainly suggest having a professional tile cleaner in to clean & restore the grout and tiles. Which suburb & area are you in? (I can see if I can locate a good contractor for you). Re-grouting is a possibility, but I don't recommend it. If you are not keen on the tiles, why spend money on re-grouting? Save your $$$ for the big make-over. Ash. Re: Tile Grout 5Jan 30, 2008 9:34 pm Thankyou so much Ash.
Im sorry for the confusion when I stated it was looking abit worn, I meant that it is looking abit soiled and I cannot stand it looking like that which is why I would like it professionally cleaned. You are probably right in regards to having it cleaned rather than re-grout if I am planning on changing the tiles in the near future. Thanks splashers, that makes sense.
