3STTW Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 Can anyone recommend a good ready-mixed waterproof tile grout? I've tried asking at Home Pro and Thaiwatsadu and they keep pointing me at the 10kg bags of powder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowtail Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 I don't know of a redi-mix here but the Crocodile powder is cheap, easy to use and seems to hold up fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snugs08 Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 (edited) Interested in this too, what about https://www.homepro.co.th/p/1010643 Might be easier to get a builder to do it. But make sure you watch at least 7 minutes of YouTube so you can tell him how to do the job ???? This is where I am now at the moment, figuring out my role as supervisor as quality of tiling ive seen elsewhere is questionable but only when looked at in detail... Just waiting for the inevitable of dont confuse your 7 minutes of YouTube with my 20 years of craftsmanship retort.. Have a leveller Start from center point Make sure you have spacers If he doesnt have a tile cutter, buy one Make sure the pattern matches, and if there's an arrow on the back of the tile explain what it means Make sure the right grout is used, match color as close to tile if that works, use waterproof grout where requied Make sure you wash off excess with acetone Make sure you have plenty of masking tape..

Madgee Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 As you're asking about grout: This one I have used to repair a bathroom floor and also to grout a small newly tiled worktop.

Had a lot of tiles set here and never saw acetone or masking tape used. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellowtail Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 If you're doing it yourself, fine, but hiring a tile guy and making them use products they are unfamiliar with makes little sense. Crocodile products are cheap, easy to use, and all the Thai workmen know how to use it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I just bought and used. 69 baht from memory, compared to this mentioned above which is 289 - but doesn't need mixing or water......... 2 hours ago, Madgee said: As you're asking about grout: This one I have used to repair a bathroom floor and also to grout a small newly tiled worktop. TILE GROUT WEBERCOLOR EVOLUTION 1KG WHITE (homepro.co.th) Is 4 x the price worth it? Have you previously used the powder products so can you compare @Madgee ?

But I was grouting small areas on different days so it was worth it for the convenience. 2. Yes, I've used various small bags of coloured powdered grout with ok results. 3. I found the quality of weber ready mix superb. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
