Grout Sealer/Protector

[Bobbya82]

Hi,


Just grouted my bathroom, I want to apply some grout sealer/protector to the grout joints just in the shower cubicle area.

I haven’t used any before, please can someone recommend a brand/type and if its best to spray it on or paint it on?

Guessing spray, you would have to tape off the joints to not get it on the tiles?

Many thanks

I had the same question and also asked on a pro tiling forum and never got much in the way of a reply except "any will work well" so I looked on amazone as at least you can read the reviews in the end I got Larsen Stone & Grout Protector based on the reviews.
I have used other protector in the past from tops tiles in a small tin and seemed to work well. They sell something different now in a hand spray but I was just going to unscrew it and put on with a brush. Seems a lot of wastage in the spray can ones.

No worries, at least if it’s rubbish I won’t be on my own!

I knew the other stuff I had worked because i tried to add a second coat and it would not take, the first coat made the grout darker when it was wet but dried back to normal but then when i tried to add a second coat the grout stayed the same.
