Is the grout between your tiles looking old and worn-out? Over time, grout can become discolored, cracked, or even moldy. Fortunately, refreshing your tile surface by changing the grout is a relatively simple task. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the step-by-step process of changing tile grout to give your tiles a fresh and rejuvenated appearance.

Gather Your Materials

Before you start changing the grout, make sure you have all the necessary materials handy. Here’s a list of what you’ll need:

  • Grout removal tool
  • New grout
  • Grout float or sponge
  • Grout sealer
  • Clean cloth or sponge
  • Bucket of water
  • Protective gloves and glasses

Step-by-Step Guide

Follow these steps to change your tile grout:

1. Remove the Old Grout

Using a grout removal tool, carefully scrape out the old grout from between the tiles. Be cautious not to damage the tiles while doing this. Remove as much grout as possible, ensuring a clean and even surface.

2. Prepare the New Grout

Follow the instructions on the package to mix the new grout. Typically, you’ll need to combine the grout powder with water until you achieve a smooth and consistent paste-like texture.

3. Apply the New Grout

Using a grout float or sponge, spread the new grout evenly across the tile surface. Work in small sections to ensure the grout doesn’t dry before you’re finished. Hold the float or sponge at a 45-degree angle and gently press the grout into the gaps, ensuring it fills completely.

4. Clean Excess Grout

Once you’ve applied the new grout, wipe away any excess using a clean cloth or sponge. Rinse the cloth or sponge regularly in a bucket of water to keep it clean and effective. Be thorough in removing any leftover grout on the tiles’ surface.

5. Cure and Seal the Grout

Allow the grout to dry for the recommended time indicated on the package. Once dry, apply a grout sealer to protect your new grout from staining and moisture. Use a brush or sponge applicator to evenly distribute the sealer over the grout lines.

Enjoy Your Refreshed Tile Surface

Now that you’ve successfully changed the grout, step back and admire your refreshed tile surface. The clean and revitalized appearance of your tiles will bring new life to your space. Remember to regularly clean and maintain your grout to ensure its longevity.

Changing tile grout can give your tiles a new lease on life. With just a few simple steps and the right materials, you can refresh the look of your tile surface. Say goodbye to old, dull grout and hello to a rejuvenated and beautiful tiled space!
