Is it possible...?

Question

is it possible to dye grout that is already in place.
If so , how and with what, and is it costly and complicated.

Answer 1

You could try. I don't believe you'll like the results. The color will vary from one place to the next. The only way to get the same color throughout the entire job would be to dig(grind) out the old grout and mix enough of the colored grout to com plete the entire job. Sorry! :-(=

Answer 2

if you have a steady hand you could always get a brush skinny enough to paint the individual joints and paint the grouting with either a masonry paint or something that will last a long time, take your time and it might just work...it's an unusual request , that I haven't heard before but I think you would not want the hassle of raking out all the grouting and then re-grouting the whole room...sounds like too much trouble when there is always an easier solution...if you are worried about painting it and making a mess, use masking tape to give you a clean line to work to ...always test on an area that is not too visible and if it works, then do the rest of the room...good luck

Answer 3

I don't think you will be happy with the results, you will have patchy and uneven colored grout, due to the fact some areas will take the color better than others.

What you can do is have the grout redone. They will chisel out the old grout, (not all of it just the top area). You pick a new color and they will put the new color in for you. this is great because it feels like you have totally redone your bath. So fresh.

Good Luck
