Re-Grouting shower
Hello
If I want to re-grout a shower can you suggest a replacement grout that is waterproof? Or a good way of making new grout waterproof? I am not a tradesman. (Not by a long way)
Many thanks if you can offer any advice.

You should be able to find a Grout Sealer that you paint on the lines of grout then wipe the excess off the tiles.

You're looking for a product that is locally sold as 'grout maximizer' which is used in lieu of water to mix the grout. Does a better job that post application sealer.
Innovations are those useful things that, by dint of chance, manage to survive the stupidity and destructive tendencies inherent in human nature.

We use an additive to the grout called Hydrocrete, which I imagine is similar to Rob's grout maximiaser.
24hrs later we follow this up with a more usual tile & grout sealer... usually Tileguard Tile & Grout Sealer, also made by the same company, Bondall. (Who also make Bondcrete. )
