Hi all

I have at last got all of the tiles fixed in my shower. What grout would you recommend.
The tiles are ceramic 225 x 330 with 3mm spacing. Approx area 7 sq metres.

Cheers for any advice

I like the Bal grout. I use this one which has an anti-mould chemical mixed in with it http://www.bal-adhesives.co.uk/products/microflex

Hand mixed grout is far better than the ready mix stuff you see in the sheds

As DWD says, Bal is a good grout, and also Mapei is another grout widely used by many tilers, as it is available nationwide and comes in many colours http://www.mapei.com/GB-EN/product-deta ... &IDLinea=1

Thanks to both replies, I have grouted the tiles using Bal Microflex and the results look great.
