Removing Old Tile Grout From A Bathroom

[treborman]

Hi all
just a quick one, what the best way to remove grout from a shower area above a bath , its starting to go a bit black and sill looks bad even after cleaning, so will regouting be the best options?

dremel works wonders with the right attachment

Scrape it out with an old knife, a thin-bladed screwdrive, or something similar. Get right down to the wall. Regrouting will make it look brand new again. Use a waterproof grout.

In a previous house where the grouting was a mess, I used steam via a wallpaper stripper & it softened it enough to dig it out with a small flat-headed screwdriver. hope this helps

Go to B&Q and buy a tile grout remover. They come with two blades that can be used together or singly, depending on the width of the grout, and are about £100 cheaper than a Dremel.
