Grout pen

Oct 26, 2010 4 Replies

I recently bought a grout pen to freshen up the grouting in the shower. It is very fiddly. Does anyone know what kind of paint it is so that I could apply it with a small brush.. if that is possible?


Simplest thing to use is tile grout. Just wipe it on, wipe it off, done. If you clean the old grouot properly first it should stick long term. I wouldnt bother with paints.

Once its set if you give it a couple coats of Lithofin tile grout protector it should be easy to keep clean.

I'm sure it is.

Real grouting is quick and easy - you mix up some grout then wipe it over with a squeegee or sponge. So does anyone know a way, instead of individually painting grout lines, of selectively stripping out old grout in a speedy manner? The panel could then be re-grouted in the traditional way.

Tips for grouting: Use a real rubber tiler's sponge, not a bath sponge. Costs a few quid. works far better.

If you're a Goth (Hey, you're posting from The Elsinore!) or otherwise fond of colouring your hair, use the best epoxy swimming pool grout you can get. It avoids the grout staining from the hair dye.

Thank you for your response:) Grouting is hubby's job and he has a lot on at the moment. I just wanted it to look better until he can get around to it:) Soooo if you can tell me about the paint thingy.....

Thank you, Andy:) Please see my post to Tabby:)

oh and btw, I don't colour my hair
