A bathroom or kitchen may start to show signs of wear and tear several years after the installation of tile and other items. Grout is a big reason for the worn-down look in these rooms. Grout can become loose, crack, and stain over time, even after it has been installed professionally. If the grouting job was less than professionally done, then it is going to deteriorate that much faster. Fortunately, with the right grouting tools, removing tile grout is well within the capabilities of the average DIY enthusiast. Often removing grout is done so that re-grouting can restore an old worn-down tile and grout installation. At Tile This, we offer an extensive range of tile and grout tools for installation and removal jobs.
