    Im not a professional tiler im a carpenter/joiner but I usually tile the floor and walls after ive installed the kitchen, and I used to grout the way you have just done and i wandered why my joints sunk and even grout pushed in or fell out, until my professional tiling mate tiled a kitchen for me and the worst thing you can do is to go diagonally or in the same direction as the joints, You should go across the joints so that the squeegee flicks the grout through the joints and fills the joints completely and wraps round the back of the tiles and then it can't fall out and especially if water gets through it will run down the back of the tiles and cause damp and then the tiles come loose, especially in a shower,

  • @BrentDarlington
    @BrentDarlingtonАй бұрын

    How would it wrap around the back of the tile? Unless you don't have enough coverage? You need to pack the grout in but how can you wipe subway tile off without going diagonal? Up and down or left to right there are grout joints. Sounds like you were mixing too wet or too dry. Or using crappy or pre-mixed grout like the stuff from HD

    Without seeing the holes it is hard to say. You can try the spackling and see if it dries. You can use a hair dryer to help if it's not drying or drying too slowly.

    It will depend on the tiles and how tight they fit together. A lot of subway tiles don't need spacer so you are probably fine. Make sure you use an unsanded grout
