Hi there
I was wondering if someone could help.
I have a new build house which is approx. 5 years old. The WC walls have been finished with ceramic tiles.
The grout was poorly finished - I do not think that the joints were wiped down sufficiently as the grout was proud and all stuck all over the place.
With the aid of a small sharp flat screwdriver I was able to shave off the surface of the grout and create a sharp outline around the tiles.
Once I scraped through the surface of the wall grout I found that it was much softer underneath. It was set, but softer.
What I was wondering is that as the top layer of the grout was much harder would the soft layer now exposed harden up over time as it absorbs moisture from the air ?
Many thanks in advance.
