Learn how to grout tiles quickly and easily with this video tutorial.
Your videos are very well put together, the camera man focuses on what's important. Everything important is thoroughly explained. I like it.
Best grouting video on UA-cam. Others could learn from this video.
I've brought my laptop into the bathroom and I'm following the instructions to the letter. It's DIY made easy because you've got a tradesman at your elbow. Thanks!
Thanks for not talking too much. Great video. Now I know how. Will try it. My contractor is charging me a few hundred just to grout near toilet sink.
+Workout Moms Malaysia Thank you for your continued support keep your eyes peeled for new videos coming soon
Found this much clearer than most of the competition. Some hints for unusual situations might be helpful (for example, grouting just two or three tiles, edge finishing) but this is a great intro!
Good job guys.....very simple & effective help for the average DIY person
I have seen so much bad grouting over many years, the main problem is that people either dont know and end up with really poor grout lines, pointing a grout line in after its been drying is a MUST to get a perfect smooth grout line, this vid dosent show this happening, take my proffesioal advise, use either a plastic or metal end ball pointer to get a perfect line, you will be amazed at the finish you get, dont do it when its wet say about 20 minutes drying time then point away.
This time I took notice about leaving it to go off a bit before I wiped it....and it works. Great advice!
You
Thanks for the help along the way ... because of your video the bathroom turned out PERFECT !!! Thanks !!!
good video, short and sweet. No bullshit.
Good Instructions and very easy to follow.
Awesome video guys. his clip was absolutely perfect for the DIY'er like myself. These guys are direct and easy to follow with simple instructions and a clear precise guide for how to do the best job possible. Thanks guys
Actually you don't want to go up and down. It causes it to move around and not set evenly. Instead you want to move in a circular motion to ensure the grout is set in the cracks and even.
Would love to see a complete job showing all the complications like bathroom fixtures, corners, etc. It's so easy for us viewers to skip the parts we aren't interested in.
Ideal; it gave me the confidence to have a go at our kitchen. Thank you.
very helpful. thanks for the simplicity of it.
Looks good, but what if my tile (exterior) has a little more "rough" texture to it? I don't want the grout to stick TO the
tiles because of the tiles texture (roughness), and I don't want to wipe it off too soon either and not do it's job.
Thank you so much for your very helpful tiling videos. I just completed my bathroom countertop and it looks pretty darn good. I couldn't have done it without the help from Tommy's Trade Secrets.. :-)
very clear and easy to understand. Impressive...Thanks

thank you for this video.I was doing some grouting in the bathroom wall and what was happening is,the grout was shrinking after about 15mins.what was i doing wrong?please let us no.THANK YOU...
Looks great few tips for me will be giving it ago tomorrow
Thank you very much
Rose, Same here, I used the compound for the grouting, now I got to go back and do the whole grouting all over again. : (
Thank you.
grout joints need to be curved inwards can use a credit card end and after when everything is dry to apply a grout sealant, helps prevent it from cracking
Great vid!! Thank you!!
Very nice thanks!
hi there, i thought the grouting was a bit suspect, but how would you explain the best way to grout? i.e nice smooth inward joints that are all consistant?
Fantastic thanks for this video.
Good guide!
THANK YOU GREAT VIDEO.
Very helpful for the novice I am! Thanks

Very helpful ...thanks ..blessings.
Nice video.

I have removed my wall tiles, now that I've done that I would like to remove the remaining grout from these vintage tiles, is there a tool for that?
Is there a specific type of grout or cleaner to use with textured slate effect unglazed tiles? Thanks
Excellent
Thanks tommy!
very useful
Thanks
do you leave the tile spacers in and just grout over them or do u hav to remove them
+abdul raheem remove them before grout. they are made out of plastic and grouting over them will create soft spots which will cause problems.
Thank you!
Great really helpful,
wow this is awesome
brilliant thank you!
Good vid. Thanks
should have watched tommys trade secrets before I started to grout bathroom tiles. oh dear. at least I no what to do next time.
this was great many thanks
made it look so easy!!!!
thanks ....
now i can finish after my tiller ran off with my money thanks
This is not how to grout. Maybe as a rough start. "Do it right?" The grouting hasn't been titivated, I run a finger round each & every joint making a uniform radius, paying particular attention the transitions between vertical & horizontal making sure those "crosses" are of uniform radius too. Talk about cowboy builders! 5:05 onwards do final finishing. Personally I don't smear grout over the whole tile surface, I apply grout to the gaps only, making each joint nice as I go. Then a final finish.
Great video if all walls are straight.
Thanks, great stuff, now off my bathroom to do some work.
nice
Cheers tommy
Thanks i will be doing this as my landlord keeps letting me down
..thank you very much ..I know now and do alone :) kiss :-**
Was that a fart at 4.17? 😜😜😜
Never use pre-mixed adhesive or grout. It's rubbish. Nowhere near as strong or hardwearing as powder. Mapei and Bal are the brands the trade use. Don't buy the quick set unless you're only mixing it up in tiny batches.
Mixed way too much grout, didn't allow the grout to slate, didn't smear correctly, didn't smooth out the joints.
you were probably using ready made grout which has to much moisture in, i see it alot and its normally the diy stores ready made grout,You need to use a powder grout and make it up yourself..A better grout gives a better finish

tomato potato. It works both ways.
old houses tend not to be true all around.
Still the worlds most boring job.Unless you know different ?
you didnt mix it well enough.
id like to see u leave that grout on for 15 minutes on a hot day,,u would struggle to wash it off,
who the heck is this joker, he has no clue of what he's doing... improper mixing leaving air pockets behind, unequal grouting, rough surfaces between the joints, improper washing, etc...
Fantastic thanks for this video.
