Recommend me a grout

Can you recommend me a good grout, I have finally finished tiling my kitchen, (used BAL Bluestar) and will be grouting tomorrow. Really pleased with it, a hundred times better than the crap I had to rip off the wall by a so called 'professional' tiler.

Its white grout and I would like ready mixed as I'm a tiling novice.

Also the space between the worktop and the first row of tiles, do I fill this with silicone rather than grout? Also can you recommend a good silicone which will match the white grout.

Cheers

bal grout is a nice grout to use, and yes seal the the worktop and tile gap with silicone..post some pics in the gallery..Mark.

Does Bal have a good ready mixed grout, you would recommend

Don't be put off using a powdered mix. They are really easy to mix and are more cost effective. Powder in bucket slowly add water until it just hangs off the trowel. If I can do it, believe me anyone can I aint no expert but if you have done the tiling then mixing the grout will be childs play
sully

agree with above..
when using powder mix for the first time,
mix a small amount and grout a small area till you see how it goes off..


calvy...

Ready mixed grouts are a nightmare to use. Use the 'BAL Superflex' or at least 'BAL wall grout' (standard) to give a nice finish.

depends what tiles bal grout wasnt any good on frost-proofs size of joints cant be a factor but as advised dont use ready mixed Pete

Bal super flex wide joint is perfect for frost proof tiles........
