Stone Shower Floor Grout Repair

This is something i have struggled with for years.

Stone shower floor grout repair.

Measure the space between the tiles. My house is only 2 years old and i already have some. If the width is 1 8 of an inch or smaller use an unsanded grout. If the floor appears dry or stains easily however the stone surface might require.

Wipe away the excess grout with the edge of the grout float. We have steam cleaned our natural stone floors here which was a time consuming process but the results were worth the effort. Hold the float so it s at a 45 degree angle with the floor. It looks great on shower walls ceilings and floors as well as on the floor outside the shower where it s not so great is the areas of performance and maintenance.

Slowly drag the edge of the float over the gap you filled to scrape up the excess grout and make the grout flush with the rest of the floor. Natural stone in the shower is largely about appearance. Epoxy grout is the best choice for showers because is water and stain resistant and requires no sealing. Choose the correct type of grout based on the width of your tile joints and where the repair is being done.

This fix is only practical for interior tile floors and when the gaps between the tiles are 1 4 in. We have also color sealed our grout here another process that completely transforms the look of tile. If the space is larger than 1 8 of an inch use a sanded grout. Grout is available as sanded or unsanded.
