Replacing cracked or missing grout

Cracked or missing grout looks bad, and it’s a good way for otherwise solid tiles to become loose.

Whether the grout is cracked or missing, you need to remove enough grout so that the new grout has solid grout to bond to. Follow these steps:

1. Use a grout saw to scrape out the old grout.

A grout saw is a short-bladed hand tool that does a great job, although you will work up a sweat! Work the saw back and forth to loosen and cut out the old grout. The grout may come out in pieces, or it could turn into powder. Either way is fine – just get it all out.

2. After the old grout is completely out or is back to solid material, vacuum out the joints.

3. Spread new grout into the joints by using a rubber grout float, as described in Steps 5 to 7 in the preceding section.
