    Default grout to match on floor and walls

    I wondered if someone could give me a bit of advice? I have recently started tiling my bathroom and I am using the same tiles on the floor and walls. Im wanting a cream or beige and the same colour for both walls and floor, however im finding it difficult to find the same colour for both. Anyone able to recommend anything?

    Also, would you recommend ready mixed grout?

    Thanks

    Claire

    Have a look at the Mapei grouts. I believe Tile Giant sell them. I wouldn't recommend using any kind of ready mix, be it grout or adhesive.

    Mapei do a colour called Jasmine, perfect for cream/beige tiles. Welcome along to the forum.

    Mapei Jasmine 130 - great grout
    But make sure you double mix as per manufacturers instructions and use the correct water/powder ratio. Don't use too much water to wash off and don't grout too much before dropping back to wash off, approx. 6m2 if this is your first time. When possible I tend to give it a couple of washes on the day of grouting and go back the next day for a final wash or polish once the grout has set in the joints.
    Good Luck
