WATERPROOF GROUT!

[KYOTE]

Hi,

Waterproof tile adhesive was brownish in colour, so now require white grout. Which is the best totally waterproof grout I could use.

Can you get one for use in a caulking gun!!!

Cheers

The only totally waterproof grout is epoxy, and even then its down to how you apply it, and it will cost you £££££

If you need total waterproofing you should be tanking the area before you tile

I have hardibacker boarded the area and used waterfroof adhesive for shower areas. Just require grouting!!! Did the job 15 years a go and mounted tiles on plywood and PVA. Lasted 15 years and only doing the rebuild as styles change etc.

The grouting is all that is left to do!!!

What is the best reasonably priced grout from a local Tops Tiles, Wickes type place??

Cheers

If the tiles are mounted on hardibacker then you don't need a waterproof grout. As tpt has said you would need epoxy which is mega bucks and a git to install.

Go for a decent trade grout such as BAL. Don't buy from Wickes as the stuff they stock is rubbish. Topps Tiles stock all the stuff but are expensive if you don't have a trade card. The internet is the best place for reasonably priced stuff.

yep i agree with iwaters. get an micro porous one such as granfix maxigrout or BALs equivalent. it can also be worth sealing the grout in a shower to stop staining
