How To Repair Grout

That space between your tiles is called the grout and almost all of the time, with the passing of time; they might get cracked or be stained. But before you call professionals to replace or repair your grout, remember that you can do it on your own.

What you will need is a grout saw, grout mixture, colorant, and a sponge. First, use the grout saw to remove the old grout. Then clean the area using water. Remember to use the right type of grout depending on the type of tile you are using. Then, using the sponge, apply the grout mixture. Follow the instruction on the container of the grout filler to know when it has cured properly and use the sponge and water to wipe off those excess grout filler. If the grout is just stained, then you can just use the colorant.
