  • How to Fix Cracked Grout: Tile Coach Episode 20 . Cracked grout is a common issue and this video shows how to fix it. There are many reasons why grout cracks, but it is basically caused from movement between the two surfaces the grout is between. Common areas are floor to wall transitions, countertop to wall transitions, and tile to wood transitions. Cracked grout can also be a sign that a loose tile is in need of repair. In that instance, it is best to remove and replace the loose tile, as this method will not fix that issue.

    Great video. Going to tackle this myself! And shocking, I am the wife doing the work not needing to ask my husband to accomplish this task... lots of us wee women are fully capable ;)

      I cringed when he said it, but I get it, he was fumbling for words, it happens. Also, I see what you're implying and I agree, thanks to the internet, most able-bodied adults could reasonably tackle this and do it correctly. That said, in my house the load is usually shared equally, in both the physical and emotional aspects. Physical load, includes things like chores, prepping, security. From those, specific jobs are reserved for me, because I like to do them, e.g., construction, taxes, and yard work. There's also some of my tasks I don't like, such as laundry, vacuuming, and mopping; I'll admit, I've looked up "How-to" for all those even though I hate them, but still do it because we're a team. We never complain, gloat, or rub it in their face when one picks up the slack of the other.

    Glad I bumped into your channel. Clear, easy & informative,. I'm sure it's the same process for bathroom grout. Basically, scrape off old, thoroughly clean & dry, squish in caulk, squish again with finger (or plastic caulk tool) & clean with damp sponge. I can do this. Be well.

    Hi. Great video! DIYer. I have a "maintenance joint" between my acrylic alcove bathtub to tile surround (used by 2 adults to shower). The grout is starting to crack at the joint. I was advised not to use silicone caulk over the existing grout because the caulk does not stick to the grout and doing so would promote mold growth underneath the silicone grout. Is "silicone" caulk different from "siliconized acrylic" caulk mentioned in your video? Can I use the siliconized acrylic grout over the existing grout at the joint (not taking all the grout out of the joint since there isn't a lot of loose grout)? Thank you!
