WANT TO KNOW HOW TO REGROUT TILES AND KEEP OLD GROUT?
Regrouting tiles without removing the old grout can save time and effort while refreshing the look of your tiles. This method is ideal if your grout is only slightly worn or discolored but doesn’t have significant damage or deep cracks. Using the right tools and products, you can achieve a clean, polished finish without the need for complete grout removal.
Preparing the Surface for Regrouting
Before applying new grout, it’s important to clean the existing grout thoroughly:
•Clean the Grout Lines: Use a grout cleaner or a mixture of baking soda and vinegar to remove dirt, mold, and stains.
•Scrape Loose Grout: Lightly scrape the old grout with a grout removal tool or utility knife to create a rough surface for the new grout to adhere to.
•Dry the Surface: Ensure the tiles and grout lines are completely dry before proceeding.
This preparation helps the new grout bond properly with the existing grout.
Applying New Grout Over Old Grout
Follow these steps to apply new grout:
•Choose the Right Grout: Epoxy grout is a great option as it bonds well and provides a durable, waterproof finish.
•Spread the Grout: Using a grout float, press the new grout into the grout lines, ensuring it fills all gaps and overlaps the old grout.
•Smooth the Surface: Wipe away excess grout with a damp sponge, being careful not to remove too much from the grout lines.
•Let It Cure: Allow the grout to cure for the recommended time as specified on the product packaging.
Sealing the Grout for Longevity
To protect your grout and extend its life:
•Apply a Grout Sealer: Once the new grout has cured, apply a grout sealer to prevent water absorption, stains, and mold growth.
•Maintain Regular Cleaning: Keep the grout clean with mild tile grout cleaners to maintain its fresh appearance.
These steps ensure your regrouted tiles remain durable and beautiful for years to come.
