Step 1: Prep
First, prep your surface. Make any repairs to failing grouting and use Rust-Oleum Sugar Soap to thoroughly clean your grout and tiles with a cloth. Rinse your surface afterwards with water and allow to dry.
Tip: If painting grout around sinks or wet areas (such as between the wall tiles and sink top), we recommend applying the Grout Paint first, then applying silicone sealer over the paint where necessary.
Step 2: Stir
Stir the Grout Paint thoroughly and apply using the specialist grout brush included—no primer or unreliable grout pen required!
Step 3: Paint
Working in small sections, apply the Grout Paint by making long brush strokes back and forth. Wipe away any excess grout paint from the tiles with a clean cloth as you go.
And that's it!
Allow to dry and apply a second coat if desired. The Grout Paint is touch dry in 1 hour and recoatable in 4 hours.
With an ultra-durable, mould and water-resistant formula, our Bathroom Grout Paint is perfect for reviving wall tile grouting around your bath and shower.
