I can't comment on Aqua Mix Colorant but the fugafresca is really good .It has a anti bacterial agent in it that helps to keep its colour once applied and dried. you can go over all old grout applications and it really does make the job look like new. this is a real easy way to refresh your grout or change the colour


wot sort of coverage will i get from a tube of fugafresca? i have approx 20mtrs to re colour, ivory grout but want the grout to look as white as possible. any advice would be fantastic m8 ! cheers

This fuga fresca is basically a grout pen, about the size of a Mega Dobber Bingo Marker accoording to Lee at Wolverhampton branch of Tile Giant and the rep from Mapei.

Aahhh. I am sure the Fuga Fresca comes in 3 different browns. Are you looking for any particular brown?

A dark mahogany lookin one is needed,it for the herringbone floor i entered in last months competition and another in same house,she has changed her mind and now says the jasmin is too light so want brown.

Hmmm. Mapei do a few browns. They have Caramel (Light Brown), Medium Brown and Chocolate (Dark Brown). Do you have a TG nearby? Each store has a piano type thing that has grout samples in.

I'm sorry I cant give any feedback on the aqua colorant as I have not used them, all I can say Is that I Have used a lot of grouting pencils and colorants from other companies over the years ,pci ,unibond, sontex etc and this is by far the best one I have come across so far. if you do try out the aqua colorant would you be able to let me know how it goes.

thanks
