Tile grout paint

Does anyone have experience with tile grout paint? I’m wondering if it is worth the effort, durability and longevity wise. Basically, if I paint my tile grout will it last. I’m interested in painting my shower stall grout. Then possibly my kitchen floor and counter..

I know grout stain holds up long term. While I've painted grout a time or two for customers, I don't know how well it holds up long term.

Thanks. Is there a difference between grout paint and grout stain?

Tile stores sell grout stain to use when there are variances in the grout color. The stain is color matched to the grout. I don't know how well they'd work at changing the grout color more than a little bit.

Wall and Flooring Indoor Tiling
Epoxy grout and mold

L

Leboyd on Nov 02, 2017

We live in the Houston area (high humidity) and had a shower built in the master bath. The tile provider suggested we use epoxy grout for water proofing and no mold. We also installed a larger vent in the ceiling to vent out moisture. Now, not even a year after it was installed we are seeing mold in the grout. Obviously, we’re not very happy. We’re our expectations of the epoxy grout correct? What might we do to solve the issue? Should we remove the epoxy grout (won’t be easy, I know) and re-grout? Thanks

Suggestions for a Tileable Shower Basin. KBRS? etc

CWags on Nov 12, 2017

I am working on a bathroom remodel in our master bathroom (old house, very small area). After opening up the walls I found that my original plan wasn't going to work and now I am looking at tileable basin options. Has anyone had any experience with the KBRS ShowerSlope system? I like the idea that I can cut it to size since there isn't a thing in my house that seems to be square. I REALLY don't want to deal with leakage or a poor product. If anyone can point me in the right direction that would be great. Thanks! Colin
