Your grout lines make a definitive line between each piece, creating a seamless design. Yet, over time, this doesn\u2019t always stay the same.

Prepare The Area<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-how-to-step-text\">The first step in making sure that the regrouting process goes underway correctly is to ensure that you\u2019re perfectly prepared. This means, gathering the proper equipment for the job.<br\/><\/p> <\/li><li class=\"schema-how-to-step\" id=\"how-to-step-1648650893696\"><strong class=\"schema-how-to-step-name\"><strong>Step 2.\u00a0 Extract Old Grout<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-how-to-step-text\">Once you\u2019ve set everything up, it\u2019s time to go ahead and chip away at the old grout. To do this, you\u2019ll want to use the utility knife or grout saw, and the chisel you have on hand. Tap along the old grout lines, being sure not to touch the tile, and chisel away until you remove the top layer of the grout. You\u2019re officially one step closer to getting your regrout on.<br\/><\/p> <\/li><li class=\"schema-how-to-step\" id=\"how-to-step-1648650905439\"><strong class=\"schema-how-to-step-name\"><strong>Step 3. Clean And Pre-Seal<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-how-to-step-text\">This step consists of two different parts. The first part of this step requires that you clean away any of the old grout that you dug up, allowing for a clean palette. The second part of this step is using a pre-grouting sealer to protect the tiles and keep things smooth.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/tilebar.com\/grout-sealer-stain-protection-spray-24-oz.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">You can grab our sealant here.<\/a><br\/><\/p> <\/li><li class=\"schema-how-to-step\" id=\"how-to-step-1648650916607\"><strong class=\"schema-how-to-step-name\"><strong>Step 4. Regrout Time!<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-how-to-step-text\">Now that the stage is set for the new grout, it\u2019s show time. To start, mix together the grout you have with water in a bucket, and get ready to apply it to the tile. Don\u2019t worry if it gets on the tiles, you\u2019ll be cleaning it in the next step. Just make sure that you go over the same area a few times to eliminate any air bubbles that may form or spots that aren\u2019t full enough.\u00a0<br\/><\/p> <\/li><li class=\"schema-how-to-step\" id=\"how-to-step-1648650925638\"><strong class=\"schema-how-to-step-name\"><strong>Step 5. Clean The Surface<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-how-to-step-text\">Smudges of grout everywhere? No problem. Take the rubber grout float and move it diagonally across the tiles to remove the excess.<br\/><\/p> <\/li><li class=\"schema-how-to-step\" id=\"how-to-step-1648650937886\"><strong class=\"schema-how-to-step-name\"><strong>Step 6. Wait<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-how-to-step-text\">Once you\u2019ve applied the grout perfectly, and removed the initial excess, all you have to do is wait 10-15 minutes for the grout to set. Then, clean the surface with a slightly damp sponge. Allow the grout to dry for about a day or a day and a half for best results.<br\/><\/p> <\/li><li class=\"schema-how-to-step\" id=\"how-to-step-1648650950815\"><strong class=\"schema-how-to-step-name\"><strong>Step 7. Finish With Caulking The Joints<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-how-to-step-text\">To almost wrap things up, you\u2019ll want to go over\u00a0 the grout lines and caulk the gaps between the tiles.<br\/><\/p> <\/li><li class=\"schema-how-to-step\" id=\"how-to-step-1648650962190\"><strong class=\"schema-how-to-step-name\"><strong>Step 8.
