About Michael C. Malizia
Expertise
I can answer questions about, Grout and ceramic tile restoration and installation. This topic generally focuses on new or old installations that have an existing problem. I can offer advice on how to correct common made installation mistakes. Such as, cementitious grout problems, efflorescence, ghosting, shading, and flash. And tile installation problems such as, floor deflection, slip resistance, loose tiles, vapor transmission and many others. These are just a few of the problems associated with new tile and grout installations. I can also offer advice with restoring old tile and grout problems such as, sealer removal, re-sealing, grout re-coloring, grout repair, and caulking.

Question
Hi Michael,
I have 12X12 inch ceramic tiles throughout the house and they are about 10 years old. Between each tile there is about a 1/4" grouting. It is obvious now that the tiler did not seal the grouting and now after 10 years the grouting has become discolored and looks quite dirty. Is there an easy (DYI), relatively inexpensive way that I can get the grouting back to its original light shade. The tiles are a cream/off white color and the grout was a light grey color originally.
Answer
Hello and thank you for contacting The Grout Dye Company in NY.
You need to use a good quality grout colorant. That will color and seal the grout go to this web site to learn more. www.tile-grout.net. To learn all about Color Sealing grout to give old grout a new look.
