"I could talk about grout for hours, but that's not why you're here."
See, Jeff, that's where you're wrong.
hahahah!!
Its very clear why this stuff is currently on clearance for $10 at my local Home Depot. Major thanks to Jeff for preventing me from buying this.
Awesome job man. I love how in depth you go about applications temperature's, etc. You don't find many videos of people being so informative. Definetley got a new subscriber. Keep it up
You got to move this guy and his humor. I’m glad to be a member I have so many projects around my first home…
Hi Jeff, yet again your in depth descriptions are easy for a complete novice like me to understand and try and give it a go. Here in Australia 🇦🇺 it’s almost impossible to get a tradesperson in to do a job for you as they are so busy working on new home builds. We apparently have a shortage in tradespeople in this country. I watch your marvellous videos over and over and as I said, I give the jobs a go myself. Thank you.
I'd love an hour's and hours of grout knowledge video. There's so many little things you mention that I'd have not even known to ask! (Going to seal the grout from a contractor job now)
Our shower is nearly done thanks to all your videos. 🤘
Love your channel! I learned so much from you. This is hard work, but the payoff is worth it. Thanks for sharing your talent.
I just stopped by to say thank you.... These videos are literally life changing.
that "tile setters don't seal grout" section would make an excellent short/TikTok content!
This series is truly appreciated. Lowe's and home Depot are pretty much the go-to here and I had questions about this grout specifically. cheers.
I'm so glad that I stumbled across your page. I've never owned a house before and will be closing on a new build next month. Sealing the grout is something that I never would have thought about. I will add that to the list of things to ask and or will do. Thank you for all of the information that you share.
Congrats on your new home!
Thanks for the timely video! I just finished tiling my kitchen backsplash and was looking for grouting tips. I will absolutely look for that Mapei all in one product.
You inspired me to renovate my 50+ yr old bathroom… I started 2month ago with demolition to the walls and original (cedar) flooring. Today I applied 12x24tile to the tub surround. Thank you for your videos and dedication to helping other DIY folks!
Hey David! This is inspiring and I would love to see the progress of your reno project on your channel. It’ll definitely help with my anxiety while contemplating a DIY remodel of our master bath.
I bought one of those work platforms a few weeks ago and it's an absolutely wonderful thing to have.
I'm 36, and I've been in the elevator industry for a decade, but it's only in the last few months that I've been able to get into a home of my own, and start renovating. Though I'm not a home remodeling expert, I am familiar with the trades, their tactics, and how UA-camrs attempt to "play the game". To see you actually time yourself, with no edits... It's refreshing and amazing. Congrats on your success, you deserve it.
When Jeffs wife watches him sleep. And he is smiling ...she knows he is dreaming of knocking off clips ;) 🧀📎
Loving the way you pointed out the warranty loop hole on mixing it by hand
Great video packed full with a ton of information a must see for do it yourself homeowner's
thank you so much for your effort to show us how it should work, and how it does not work, you have provided so much information
I can't stop watching once the video starts.
Absolutely a great video. Thanks Jeff.
I used those same spacers and levelers for my bathroom floor! Im about to grout the floor! I also bought the same hole saw kit!!
Watching you race the clock was stressing me out! Thanks Jeff. Great info as usual.
Dude....your tutorial on grouting led me to a very stress free experience....You are subscribed and bookmarked as such, any DIY tips now I will consult your archives... Just got a radiator to connect now lol!! Many thanks....
We had our master bath renovated 2 years ago. Our corners are cracking and now I understand why. I also realize I should have sealed all of it as a precaution.
Jeff a good tip for tooling silicone and tub/bath caulking is to spray it with soapy water before tooling it with your finger. You can't really take any caulk off that way (dont put too much!) but it lets you tool it until you're happy with it.
Absolutely!
I mixed the same 10 lb. box with a margin trowel by hand and it was fully mixed in 3 mins. Exactly followed instructions on the box. No problems at all. I think Jeff may have had too high a speed on his drill which caused him a mix problem.
Great efforts to work correct way to install tiles love it
Thanks 👍
I just finished tiling a 3x3 shower with subway tile and used alot of leveling clips. It was really satisfying knocking them off for me too.
I’ve used Polyblend 6 years ago on my first ever tiling project, a backsplash. It has not cracked and it still looks good! Today I would and have chosen another product like Mapei CQ but i have nothing bad to say about Polyblend.
I'm about to do that subway tile in my shower. Do you have to do anything special around the mixing valve before adding tile, and afterwards do you caulk around the mixing valve fixture and the tile?
When I'm cutting a hole in tile with that exact bit and base plate, I put water in the base plate. The sticky rings hold so well because they're made for holding water in the base plate. That's for a horizontal tile, for a tile that's already installed, I cut a chunk of sponge, saturate it, then stuff it in the hole saw bit. As you progress through the tile, the sponge compresses, squeezing the water out to keep that hole saw cool.
Awesome videos - going to attempt some diy renovation 😀
The look on Jeff’s face when he thought he’d drilled the hole in the wrong spot was priceless 😂
Jeff is like a God. big chillin and smashin it with one hand while holding the stuff with the other lmao.
Great video. Thanks!
Quick tip… use a piece of tape on the tile and drill a hole through that… will help keep the drill bit from sliding around and keep the drill straight
When i mix dry grout, mortar, etc. i always put 50% recomended water before grout in mixing bucket, and add second 50% water later (for better control). By my expiriance it eliminates those hard, tiny lumps of dry grout.
1:00:00 I've had a pipe break like that. I tightened too hard (wasn't nearly as hard as you're tightening there) and it created a small crack, came back the next day to find it had leaked into the wall. Luckily my wall wasn't finished yet, so I was able to unscrew the drywall and replace the broken fitting.
Hi Jeff, love your videos. My question doesn't have to do with bathroom remodelling but figured it's best to put the question in your latest video. What are your thoughts on the practicality of home extensions/additions? E.g. buying a bungalow to add a second level or adding a 4-season sun room. Is the work (+ costs) worth the value added? Thanks.
Thank you so much for this video! I just bought my first home and the grout is not sealed, and the silicone needs replacing. A contractor quoted me over $1000 to do it! So, I am learning how to do it myself.
I found with hardened bits/ drills, slow steady pace with constant water dripping saves them a very long time. If your ever drilling with cobalt drill bit, very slow with oil or water and youll have thoughs bits for a long time.
Your videos are awesome Sir!!
Hi Jeff, you are my prime source for my diy house here in Tokyo. I like your videos the most. Thinking about microcement kitchen, bathroom floor incl top surface of sink cupboard. Do you have used microcement already? Would be great to have a video to learn how to do it.
I learned a ton on this one.
great video! thank you
New to your channel and I love it 👏 I learned so much. Thank you 😊
Welcome! Cheers Rosie!
My preference for drilling good quality tile is to use the Milwaukee Diamond Max hole saws & a spray bottle. Keeping it wet the bits last a long time.
Just a tip, never load your drill with a tile holesaw bit while standing in the shower. We all know the false feeling when we thing the chuck is tight but it didn't grab the shank right and the holesaw falls out. Either the acrylic shower pan just sprung a hole or your mud pan tile just cracked or chipped. We learn from our mistakes.
Used the exact same brand Bright White grout last night before watching this video. I came to the same conclusion and had to add additional water to the grout.
Hi Jeff. I’m trying to find your video on how to skim walls after removing wallpaper. Could you tell me which one it is? I want to attempt to do this today. Thank you so much. I really enjoy your videos
Vindicated! When that hole lined up to where you thought it would!
Honestly, I used a grout like that in the kitchen for the backsplash and I got halfway when it solidified. I had to use a Razor to scrape it off the travertine and I had to buy a second bag. I had to ignore the directions and mix half a box at a time because it set up too quickly and then wouldn't wipe off.
Just used mapei in the bathroom and it was a dream by comparison.
Do you have a video on moving plumbing for a shower? I am going to be needing a walk in shower for myself due to CRPS and hoping we can do most of it ourselves.
Hi sir,, thanks for all those information. Question how to I remove the thin set from a marble backsplash without scratching the surface? thanks.
Jeff!! What's your take on grouting tile with built-in lugs? Does this change the way you grout or the grout you use?
Do you have to caulk around the fixtures that are up on the tile like the mixing valve? Same with when tiling, do I have to put something special around the hole of the mixing valve on my cement board before putting tile around it? Thank you so much for the videos! I can't stop watching!
Buen trabajo
The hole kit says to use water. I measured mine out on the tile before I installed the tile and it worked perfectly
This guy is awesome and truthful. But I'm tired for him. WOW
Hey friend, i was showing my 5 yr old granddaughter your video and then she ask me, why this guy has a marshmallow in his hand? so i ask her to repeat her question to me because i wanted to make sure my ears were hearing the words right. so yes, ha ha ha ha ha she said marshmallow so i laughed i lot and asked ...... you mean that thing on his hand? so just like a little kid she is.. she reply. yes, that white thing on his hand. Lol.... thank you for your videos that have help me alot on my home projects.
Or... you can borrow your wife’s kitchen scale and make 2 or 3 batches. Polyblend unsanded tends to shrink (crack in the middle of the joint half an hour after application). I use a scale to avoid issues. It’s difficult to gauge the quantity of water needed for grout. A pancake batter turns into peanut butter after the 5 minutes wait time.
Yup, also used Polyblend unsanded. Didn't have a kitchen scale so ended up finding the mass/weight ratio and converting the grout to ml, then putting in the right ratio of water in ml. Mixed 2-3 small batches about the size of a fist and worked perfect every time, no extra water needed. ~10 minutes between application and washing.
Yeah, I used that same hole saw for my tile and the cup was half filled with water and it did fine. I'm not sure it's meant to be used on vertically installed tile...
what's your grout spacing here? is it 1/16"? would you recommend doing 1/32" for large tile for 14"x24"? Thank you.
Hello
Can we use grout sealer 511 instead or water for mixing grout and apply on bathroom tiles ?
Thanks
Thanks for the video =)
Cheers!
Once the tiles are installed can you replace the grout with caulk/silicone sealant to fill the joints
Hi, what did you use to prime the tile before installing the new tile?
Jeff when can you come do my bathroom shower/tub for me? I love this shower!
I'm trying to figure out how to install a double headed shower and on the back side a rain shower head .I'm just wondering how I should run my plumbing from my valve? I hope my question makes sense thanks.
This channel has basically sponsored my home renovation.
How hard the water is will also affect the setup time.
Do you have to seal ultra color grout by mapei on shower walls?
what is a preferred sealer for travertine and the grout?
The adhesive ring in the diamond hole saw is because it is to be used with water. One can also. Make the hole prior to installing that tile. If off by a 1/2 inch then you are screwed
Should you use a glove or sanitiser when smoothing sealant out - living organisms and spores on fingers can be forced into the surface of the bead resulting in growth later on...
Hello! I have a foyer with marble tiles interlayed bamboo wood, there is non sanded grout or caulk in between them the two has big gaps and could use a re-application. Will doing this accidentally stain the bamboo?
The wax between tiles is to prevent they scratches each other inside the box. That way they are slightly separated and not touching each other. 😉
Jeff. Do you prefer the silver blade or the black blade for the olfa knife?
What brand shower head and fixture is that? I couldn’t make out what you said but I like they are made in Canada
HELP!! I bought the American Standard Passage tub surround and the LePage tub & surround adhesive package with 3 adhesive tubes with 2 in 1 Seal & Bond. The glue has not set in 72 hours and the panels have dropped and are now sitting on the tub. I need to pull the panels down and reapply adhesive. What adhesive should I use????
What I do is dip the hole making tool in a small water bowl before and during.
It will cool the tool and increase its life.
Is it a good idea to reglaze tub and tile?
Could be the angle of the camera but the grout line looks 1/16 off
I'm here to learn about grout
I thought the sticky blue well held some water while drilling?
If i mixed grout by the directions on the back i woudnt have working hands anymore, adjust grout thickness it will depend on how hot or cold in the house and what kind of tile it is, ceramic will dry it grout faster , dont mix whole box mix what you need the color wont change if its from the same box
I put my Mapei grout in the fridge, also used the water filter jug water from the fridge, who knows what shite is in the regular tap water lol, but the working life was way beyond 30 mins.... hand mixed, it works just make sure you have the correct trowel/tub interface...
Is there a need to caulk around the handle trim plate?
I need this video. Can't figure which grout to use
Sandless***
I have a question I bought a fireplace insert with blower all the pipes and vent its wood burning no gas only electric is for the blower how do I install it safe I have grandkids that stay with me on weekends so safety is important
Can ibput the grout caulk in first and ket it cure then grout? Otherwise the grout might get inti the corners.
The wax strip is to stop the tiles from scratching each other

How do you feel about the premixed tubs of grout all ready to go?
"My advice to you is - don't bring a hammer into the shower."
Next video, brings a hammer into the shower... :D
Can you make sumthing on bullet proof diy ideas for all of us who live In rough places
Can you tell us the name of the shower fixtures and tile please? thanks!
Okay.. the closest lines to the camera are off? Does it really not matter that much?
The tiles are stair stepping. You can dump the grout and cement water down the toilet as long as you flush the toilet at the same time and flush 1 more time after.
BUT JEFF, I thought I couldn't bring my hammer into the shower.
those misaligned tiles are messing with my head !
Should you seal you floor tile or do you just seal in the shower
