What’s with all the rude aggressive comments? If you don’t like it don’t watch it. I enjoyed it!

I used a ketchup container with a small hole and it stayed in the grooves. I watered down the simple fix so a thin coating would go over what I had. Had no missing or old grout. Thank you, thank you!!!

[lasom]

I don’t usually leave comments, but I love your clear explanation and honesty. It really helped me out a lot🙏💪

I was putting my house on the market and was debating getting a new backsplash. My white kitchen tile was in good shape, but the grout had yellowed badly. I used the product in this video and followed the steps and it came out great! Super easy and cheap. Thank you!

[sarahbeekman]

This was a very helpful and detailed video! I am a single mother so learning to do these things on my own and saving money is so satisfying!! Plus I get to show my kids that women can do stuff like this too

4:10 is where he actually gets to the how to part.

I really hate to say this but I watched this video 2 years ago and repaired the missing and damaged grout of my kitchen floor following this guy's method. I dug out all the cracked grout that I could and really roughed up the remaining grout lines. I applied the correct grout to fill the holes and top coat the remaining. In the intervening time, it has failed MISERABLY. Half of it came up while simply vacuuming or sweeping the floor. I spent half the day today scraping the remaining "repairs" off. Not fun. I'll continue on and do it the right way by removing ALL the grout and filling with new. So while this method seems quick and easy, please do not bother. It cost me hours and hours of time both to apply it and then to remove it 2 years later. Note that I am not a stranger to home repairs. This house is the 3rd one I've remodeled. I'm 70 years old and fabulous at DIY.

Thank you Kevin. I wanted to clean my grout but this is a more permanent fix. This is what I needed to get started and complete the job. Thanks again.

[donnaharrell]

Thank you Kevin. I do all my own home repairs. If you don't try you will never learn. This is new territory for me. We'll here we go. Thanks again now I feel more informed. Have a blessed day.😊

[annaleclaire]

Very helpful. Thank you. After getting an over $1700 quote for someone else to do this for me, I decided to see if I can do this myself. I may be able to based on what you shared. Much appreciated.

[ColleenLockard]

Thanks, Kevin! I now feel confident enough to get started. Your video is very thorough and helpful!

[BeautifulRelaxationMusic]

Thanks for a great, easy to follow video. I've always hated the contrasting grout on my floors & I needed to repair a bathroom floor.
Thanks again for the video!

[wayfarer]

Thank you so much, Kevin! I’m excited to get started on some ugly cracked grout! I really like your presentation style as well. You communicate in excellent detail but don’t make excessive hand gestures or movements that might distract. 👍🏻👍🏻

[gregdavidson]

How careful/accurate are you with the sealer? If it flows on the tiles a little bit does that show? Do you wipe the excess off the tiles? Do you saturate the grout with the sealer or just wipe it on? TIA

As stated before, the fun starts at 4:10.
Also you can get cheap knee pads around $5 at Harbor freight.
I had to paint a floor- knee pads YES!

[DeniseJimenez-de]

Thanks Kevin!! Just what I needed!! And everyone thinks I got new floors! Thanks again!!😎😎👍👍

[memeal]

Very informative video, I just wish you had documented the whole process with videos, human mind tends to retain new info better that way 😊
Thanks again!

[joerinaldi]

I really liked your video and your recommendation on using a sealer which many others seem to miss out. Very important to keep your grout looking good for longer..thanks

[bobifernandes]

Thanks Kevin for giving the steps and confidence to tackle it myself :)
