Why go to all that trouble when there is ready mixed grout available in many colours, Conchillos have a big range, about 4-6 euros a bag. Tough stuff when dry !


coz the marble  sparkles on a night   :))


(this is how the local builder,s showed me ie marble & cement years ago )

What do I use to re-grout outside patio tiles?  Is it just ready mix cement, or something else?

fine marble powder(Angle Ollers ) mixed with either White cement or standard cement ie
whit marble powder with white cement  gives white grout
white marble powder with standard cement  will give a gray

also another option is fine sived yellow sand rather than using marble powder.

all mixes are approx 2 parts marble 1 part cement mixed like yogurt ie so its spreads & files

job done for outside,inside and will last years.

or

if the grout is ok but just off colour,re colour with the bottles of whitener in mercadona kitchen section
