evening all, been to see a job for friend ot the family today.
2 bathrooms both bumpy whites with borders,been in around 7 years and needing to be re grouted with white grout,,also silicone is about an inch thick round bath etc and needs replacing,

total sq meterage 44 sq metres i was thinkin g maybe 4 days to do the lot but havent done many large re grouting jobs whats your thoughts on this?

I would double that, bet that takes you 8 days, i have done a few regrouts and they take ages even with a fein. Its a day rate job dont price it you will loose out.

Used a bosch and sent it back, Fein all the way.If you need a lend of one drop me a PM

How old was the grout though Sim?

How old was the grout though Sim?

Approx 4 weeks, Was ultracolour in Caramel, Ground out atleast 5mm depth, Horrible job but dust mask on and get on with it

Tried 5mins with a grout rake and gave up! Bought mine from tiletrader and has become a tool i use everyday, Perfect for cutting architraves, Cleaning joints before grout, grinding minor lipage on travertine, Polishing edges on porcelain, Sanding window frames....Probably the best tooll i have bought in 2009

[simhopper]

8x8

tiles where wavey edged but the thin fein discs bend to suit the tile profile without chipping
