Good video mate, but next time emphasis on not getting the blade to far into the back of the grout so you dont risk damaging any waterproofing would be another useful tip. Make sure to check out the thickness of the tile first and make sure you dont go beyond this. While the new grout might stop water getting to damaged WP, it could easily turn disastrous overtime and you won't know till floors, wall, start to exhibit water damage. Not against regrouting at all, just understand the substrate behind your tile and take necessary precautions

You are officially my DIY hero LOL. I would never have thought to use the multi-tool. I've been procrastinating over this job for 2 years, dreading the thought of scraping the old grout. Thank you.

You saved me a lot. Cancelled my $300 contractor (he had bad reviews too) and did it myself using your advise and came beautiful. Thx V.

Now if you wouldn't mind coming to mine next. I have tiled many places over the years and I have always struggled with the grouting. now I know why. Thank you for sharing.

The multi-tool is hands down one of the best tools to own. So damn useful for home projects.

Good video, in addition cover the floor with a suitable cloth to minimise clean-up, once grout is applied wait at least 10-15 minutes for initial set, then clean off excess grout in a diagonal motion with well wrung sponge and rinse often in your bucket of water, when dry polish off haze...

I'm removing last year's bad grout job the building management did in an apartment I'm renting. Giving my hands a break (I've got CTS), I came across your video. I'm so old school, I was doing it by hand with a razor blade--never thought about using a multi-tool. Glad I found this video. The job will go much quicker now. Thanks!

Looks great! Once the grout has dried i also use a grout sealer to waterproof wet areas like showers, reason being the grout remains porous. In newer homes where the shower has been sealed correctly before tiling you can get away with not using it but i find homes 20 years plus in age the job does not last well without sealing the grout.

dude you are a fecking life saver . Spent two whole days trying to get out all of the old grout out .

[evepaez-whittaker]

lovely clear instructions, really gives me confidence that I could do this. Gonna give it a go this weekend!

[reginarourk]

Very well explained. Yet another reason to have a multi tool. Don't know how we got along without one before.

Adds two more seconds to remove all the old grout just as you demoed so the new grout will have a more complete bond that’s less prone to cracks and thus mold. Go the extra minor effort for a more durable finish.

Just followed the procedure and the result is amazing, really happy with the result, thank you so much, really great tutorial

Multi tool is the best, excellent investment...get the cordless...makes doing stuff around the house a dream.

First video I've watched and you had me sold when I saw a ryobi tool! Off to Bunnings tomorrow. Thanks for the video.

[johnclay]

Thanks a lot Bill! There was no BS yammering got me zeroed in soooo quickly and efficiently! I'm smiling.

[FonzAndTheBoyz]

Hi, thanks for the great video. I see that you recommend not cutting too deep if the old grout is still good. That means the new layer of grout is a bit thin. Is there a recommended minimum depth for the new grout layer to be strong enough? Cheers!

I do this for a living, and without question, if an angle grinder diamond blade will fit, there is no better way to remove. I use this multi tool method if it’s only a few wall tiles or hard to reach or in a corner. Expensive blades and not as effective. Unless it’s a big job I actually use my utility knife on the 1/16” lines when replacing those restaurant bathroom 4” or 6” tiles.
