    Default Grout for wall tiles

    Wondering if any1 would know where I can get grey grout for wall tiles from locally? Not having much luck. Maybe some1 out there has some to spare sitting in their garage or shed?

    Is Home-Tec interiors still open at the Industrial Airport in Wick?

    Homebase is another place you can try. If you can't find gray grout, get white grout and gray colouring is an option. I would also use a epoxy grout as it lasts longer and you want suffer from mildew.

    If you want to avoid mildew you MUST use grout sealant when you're done. The instructions say to do it twice, but i give it three goes just to be sure. I did a shower three years ago and even when a little mildew appears, during wetter weather when it doesn't dry out quickly, it just wipes off.

    That all depends on the quality of the product George. Some you do, some you don't.

    Well I would say all of them. After all, what's a few quid and a few minutes doing a little sealing, compared to the unmitigated horror that is removing mildewed grout and re-doing it?
