Is there grout there? WIll there be overspray from some boy children? Or guests? Or DH? Um hmmm. Sealer. And don't forget to keep it sealed. It's not a once and done project. Every time you clean, you will strip a bit of sealer. The harsher the products used to clean, the more sealer they strip. If water doesn't bead up in those grout joints, it's time to be resealed.

This guy doing the tile is wonderful. He's very good at what he does and he's meticulous. He's actually the contractor's assistant. To his credit, he's doing the job the actual contractor hasn't done, even though he's been paid nearly double for an incomplete job that has taken 4x longer than expected. The contractor has been avoiding me and knows I'm upset. Several people, including Home Depot and Home Hardware, are urging me to contact police because this contractor has been fraudulent. The assistant is maintaining integrity by keeping his word, even when his boss isn't. (And the assistant is the real reason I haven't called police. He doesn't deserve to be roped into this.) So I don't want to annoy this assistant. I'm heading out to Home Depot this morning to get the grout he wants and two more edgers. I've done grout myself before. I'm no professional, but I may just try to use the Fushion Pro myself to finish off this area and allow him to use the regular grout in the other areas of the bathroom.

I used Aquamix Grout Colorant on my kitchen floor which is an epoxy product that seals the tile too. I did not apply extra sealer because it really isn't necessary. P.S. It's not that tedious a process. In fact, it's very easy to do and has very satisfying results.

I am having my contractor building a new standup shower to replace a tub shower. The wall tiles are up and the floor is also finished. We chose to have loose bed rocks as our shower floor. The contractor used sanded grout. He did not use any type of sealer on the tile wall or floor. I am worry. Is there any sealer I can use for the tiles and grout? How effective would this be to seal the tile and grout so water wouldn't penetrate? Do I need to do more? Thanks.
