Is there some way to smooth grouting after it's dry? The guy who tiled our bathroom did a real crap job of the grouting. It was squee-geed on, but not finished and shaped with an indent tool. It's now dry. And he's been sacked. Basically it's uneven and not really been 'indented'. The gap is 3mm according to the spacer packet. If the tiles were not all white it would be a disaster. Thanks for any advice.

Is it *very* dry? If it's been done fairly recently you could scrape it out and start again - it doesn't set really hard for ages, IME.
I think I'd try giving it a good soaking and a going over with a decent sponge first if it's been done very recently.

Hi,
Try a nylon scourer, if that's no good give it some welly with decent steamer and nozzle, then try the scourer!
cheers, Pete.
But not on very expensive mosaic tiles. DAMHIK, IJK

Use brick acid to disollve teh surface away and re-grout it.
I expect that's the same as BTDTGTTS...
cheers, Pete.
Just sand it with folded sandpaper. Grout is very brittle so abrades easily

Nylon Pan Scribs, and HOURS or work.
