Grout Enhancing floor tile grout - Tile Advice

hi all, not sure if it's been covered,
Customer wants me to regroup and seal kitchen floor tiles, but I was hoping there might be a product out there that will refresh the grout instead of taking and regrouting?

A product called universeal is highly regarded adey. Not used it myself but gets a lot of praise on here.

I did and thought it was rubbish

Me too. I'd take the old stuff out with a multi tool and re-grout then seal.

Thanks guys, I'm due to go see the job later in the week so will have a good look to see which would be best.

Mapei or universal? The mapei is a great product imo

Oh course, it is called a grout sealer. What it does is it forms a layer of protection on top and within your grout so you dont have to regrout. This is essentially refreshing your grout.

Was just going to post about the same scenario, I've got about 80 metres to do and was hoping not to have to re grout, presumably the mapei only works with mapei grout, as this was done with ardex fresh snowdrop, any other recommendations out there, cheers matt

Universeal Rapid all in one

mapei fugafresca, it works with all grout, cement-based.

Can't think of a worse job in tiling then of course there is risk to chipping edge of tile .
