What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise this pre-mixed grout for eliminating measuring and mixing, delivering perfect consistency straight from the tub, and producing beautiful, color-accurate results that set hard without sealing. Many highlight significant time savings and beginner-friendly application, with several noting superior durability compared to traditional cement-based products. However, some report that removing grout haze requires substantial effort despite initial cleanup ease, and several find the higher cost a drawback for large projects. Overall, most customers consider the convenience and performance worth the investment.

Won’t stick

Would Not Recommend

The amount you have to use and how gritty this is, it’s impossible to use. Just get the fast setting one and work in small batches
