Review on πŸ’¦ Waterproof Grey Tile Grout Pen: 5mm Colorant and Sealer Marker - Narrow Tip (7mL) by Kenneth Barnes

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Was easy to use, very few results

This item pretty much met my expectations. It works like a big drawing pen, so anyone familiar with it (from auto parts labeling or whatever) will understand this pen. The color is easy to apply but, as others have pointed out, you will definitely get it on your tile. Bought this as a temporary solution for access to our new home - the tile is acceptable but the brownish yellow grout that looked like pee is out of order. by someone else's standards. Wiping with a damp cloth works, but removes most of the product from the grout no matter how carefully I approached the object and tried my best not to hit the grout. An hour later I had 35 square meters of space, everything was removed and withdrawn. and my wife and I both agreed it looked like shit. It looked so half-assed. The paint was blotchy, looking dirty and patchy (I'm quite a meticulous person, kind of obsessive-compulsive, so I assure you it wasn't a lack of care when applying or cleaning. I've just redecorated 2 bedrooms and completely redecorated the bathroom set up and re-tiled tiles around.) So I decided to remove the grout paint and let TileX sit for about 5 minutes and the grout paint rubbed off easily, restoring the grout to its original urine-stained color. Through this project I learned two things: 1. The drawing pen was "not great" at best and I was disappointed with the poor results2. I know full well that I need to replace the tiles in my entryway because this "temporary" solution didn't work.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options
