How To Regrout Floor Tiles

Tiles add beauty and value to your home. However, over time, the grout between the tiles can become dirty, stained, or cracked. This can make your floor look old and worn. Regrouting your floor tiles is a relatively easy and inexpensive way to give your floor a new look.

Here are the steps on how to regrout floor tiles:

Step 1: Remove the old grout

The first step is to remove the old grout. You can do this using a grout saw or a utility knife. If the grout is deeply stained or damaged, you may need to use a chisel and hammer to remove it.

Step 2: Clean the tiles

Once the old grout has been removed, you need to clean the tiles. You can do this using a tile cleaner and a sponge. Be sure to rinse the tiles thoroughly after cleaning them.

Step 3: Apply the new grout

Once the tiles are clean, you can apply the new grout. You can use a grout float or a trowel to apply the grout. Be sure to press the grout firmly into the joints between the tiles.

Step 4: Remove the excess grout

Once the grout has been applied, you need to remove the excess grout. You can do this using a damp sponge. Be sure to rinse the sponge frequently to prevent the grout from drying on it.

Step 5: Seal the grout

Once the grout has dried, you need to seal it. This will help to protect the grout from stains and damage. You can use a grout sealer to seal the grout. Be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions for applying the sealer.
