This was really easy to apply with the use of a toothbrush.I originally used a light grey grout but regretted it and this was an easy solution without needing to regrout. Can't speak for longevitity yet but after a couple months it still looks good.It dried pretty quickly unlike other products I looked at that took days.My pot covered the grout of 20m2 of large floor tiles with some to spare.

Ok, so when I grouted the tiles on the chimney breast in our kitchen, I totally should have used grey grout.Years later, with steam and fat splashes and grease, they began to look decidedly yellow.So I thought I’d get some grout paint and try to cover up the ugly.I plumped for this one.So - product-wise, it does the job and does it very well.It’s a bit thick going on (a little like that undiluted child’s poster paint in litre bottles). It is also VERY unforgiving if you don’t have a 100% steady hand and a very small brush.I sprayed on the cleaning solution (they are very prescriptive about PPE and it is quite pungent) but that didn’t touch the years of grease that had soaked into the grout.In the end I had to painstakingly use washing up liquid and hot water, with a tooth brush. Took me ages but it worked.I tried using a tooth brush to paint, to start with, hoping to wipe off the excess, but this wastes a lot of paint and it ain’t cheap. Also it flicks the paint everywhere.So I eventually bought some artist sable brushes and used those, which seemed to do the job ok, but again took me back to my days of painting lead figures for Dungeons and Dragons.I had to water the paint down (yes with water which works just fine) and this made the job a bit easier but it was my prep that let me down.Here’s my tips.If your grout is the least bit greasy, this paint will run off like a child at a funfair.If when you grouted, you were (like me) a bit liberal with where the grout went, then tidy it up first. This paint sticks to grout like a mother to a child who just ran off at a funfair. If your lines aren’t straight in the grout then this will show up every mistake.Don’t go ‘liberal and wipe off’ - take your time, the effort will pay off.Make sure your grout is grease free (and dry - it needs to soak in).Use a good detergent - the cleaning fluid is useless.Make sure your grout lines are clean and true.Use a small, good quality brush and take your time.You will either end up with something looking really nice, or something looking really nice from a distance.The paint will not be to blame if it’s the latter.

We applied this over 20 year old white grout on glossy tiles, and the end result is nothing less than excellent. It has rejuvenated the kitchen, which was suffering from ageing only in the tile department. The cabinets still look pretty new. Application with a small artists's flat brush is easy enough, but removal can be difficult. If you remove it while it is still wet, the old grout is still visible, if whitened somewhat. If you wait until it is touch dry, it is hard to remove even on my glossy tiles. We settled on using 3M Scotchbrite pads to get the majority off with a single-edged razor blade to remove the excess, and still it was hard work.When we finished we both agreed that it looked lovely, but never again.

The quality is actually superb, easy application and sticks very well. However, the mid grey looks completely blue against my grey tiles and previously grey grout as can be seen in pictures

this is hard work to use. the instructions on the bottle are different to the video. perhaps its a good product but it needs some more development in the instructions and tools to use with it.
