Question
How does GDC grout colorant compare to groutshield colorant at groutshield.com? They seem similar. I'm looking for white and plan on buying colorant that will last "white" in the washroom walls thats water resistant and will not yellow or mold up.
Thank you for your time

Answer
Hello and thank you for contacting The Grout Dye Company in NY.

I have not had the opportunity to try the groutshield product yet. But from what I understand it is a good product. It would also be unfair for me to comment on this question since I have a special interest in another company that markets grout colorants. I would ask you to simply put it to the test yourself, or ask other surces for thier opinions, since I can't give an unbiased review.

Thank you ,

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 flashing. 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.
