If you’ve installed a tile shower, you’re well on your way to having a beautiful bathroom. The next step is grouting the tiles to complete the look. Grouting is a simple process that can make a dramatic difference in the look of your shower. Here’s a complete guide to grouting a tile shower.
To begin, you’ll need to purchase the appropriate grout for your shower. It’s important to match the grout to the tile, so be sure to take a sample of the tile to your local hardware store. Most grouts come in a variety of colors, so you can find one that will complement your tile.
Once you have the right grout, you’ll need to prepare the area. Start by wiping the tiles down with a damp cloth to remove any dust or debris. This will ensure that the grout will adhere properly to the tiles. You should also tape off the areas around the shower to protect them from grout stains.
Now you’re ready to mix the grout. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions and mix until the grout is a thick paste. Once the grout is ready, spread it over the tiles with a rubber grout float. Make sure to press the grout into the joints and fill in any gaps. Once the grout has been applied and allowed to set for a few minutes, use a damp sponge to remove any excess grout.
Finally, you’ll need to seal the grout. This is an important step that will protect the grout from water damage and staining. Again, follow the manufacturer’s instructions and apply two or three coats of sealant. Allow each coat to dry before applying the next. Once the sealant has dried, your tile shower is ready for use!
