getting somebody else to do it?

you could try useing a fein to cut it out!!

[mikethetile]

I use a stanley knife and a hardie backer knife

[irishjas]

no you better do it your self if you want it done right

Could you not use grout restorer several on the market

Hello mate,

Look this up Bosch PMF 180 E. Its the same as a fein but around 70 notes it wont break the bank and will pay for itself in no time. Also good for trimming the bottom off of door frames to get the tile under instead of spending ages cutting tile to match door frame profile.

i have a bosch and a fein,use the bosch more often due to it having better blade grip (pin grip and hex key).got fed up with re-setting fein blade every 4mins due to it vibrating loose.Under £50 for bosch in a b&g sale.used yesterday to rake out some joints.nail in batton is good (use masonary pic hook nail/pin),but i find it a bit tricky in the corners.i use old fine wood blades on the bosch for 2mm joints

I've used a pad saw to good effect before
