Try some Cement Residue remover (or grout/ceent remover).

Testimonial: "Thank you. I was able to get it off last night with a chisel and heavy duty acidic cleaner I bought from Menards."

yes, you should seal all tile with a 3-5 year sealer. there are many brands to choose from. excess grout should be removed with a sponge and water before it dries. clean food splatters with any safe kitchen cleaner.

SOURCE: I have frameless shower doors, the bottom sill

if the glass actually contacts the tile you can go to the homedepot or similar place and buy some glass silicone sealer and just run a nice bead of caulk along the line, make sure you get clear silicone and let it thooroughly dry before you get it wet

They probably use wrong adhesive that is not hard yet and have tenedency under pressure to squeze out between grout lines. Yes they need to address the problem immediately.

SOURCE: I have crack in my shower floor concrete, would

There is a tile backer, kinda of like fiberglass mesh, I have also seen a waffle looking plastic, that will go down over the crack in the floor and will not effect the tile one bit. You just tile over everything, no mastic, no set under this stuff, no fasteners, just tile over it like a normal floor, and the best part is, no crack! Hope this helps.

Testimonial: "I am not done yet but it sounds like very good solution and I believe it will work Thanks."

How can I safely remove chunks of dried grout from my sistine stone shower walls and floor? Also, my husband grouted too wide in some parts and I need to remove some from the sides of the lines.

Depending on how hard the grout has set, I would use a small, sharp Cold Chisel and small 2 Ounce hammer, to very gently chip away from the tile surface toward the grout joint.
Be very careful not to damage the tile surface.
Then finish off with some 000 wire wool to polish the tile.

How to Grout ceramic tile to shower base

Don't use grout! Instead use silicone caulk that matches your grout color as close as possible. Never grout where tile meets at a 90 degree angle it will crack.

Glass Shower Door

If you don't plan replacing the shower door, fill the holes with tile colour grout or other fillers you can buy from hardware stores. I am saying grout because if you have coloured tiles, the filled holes won't show prominently, otherwise fillers are ok.

I bought a maax shower base. i am going to intall a cement board on the wall, water proof it and then tile over it. The shower base has a flange that is 1/4'' thick. do i install the cement board on top of...

There are two ways that I would do it depending on the width of the ledge on top of shower base. If you have enouch room I would shim studs with strips of material thick enough to bring the surface out even with flange on shower base. Then I would put cement board(wonder board) on wall and over shower flange to set on top of shower base. Finish seams on wall board per manufacturers directions,Let seam filler dry then seal with thompsons water seal or equivalent sealer. Let that dry then tile on that grouting and sealing with quality caulk at joint between shower base and tile.
If ledge on shower base is not wide enough then I would place cement board directly to studs then use filler strips on face of shower base flange to bring two surfaces flush. Water seal let dry and tile again coming down over top of shower. Grout and caulk to finish. P.S. I would use a siliconized latex emulsifier to mix in with grout. It gives a better ware proof seal. Hope this helps you. Good luck and thank you.

I'm insytalling new tile in shower should the frame of the shower doors be caulked?

Hello. Definitely yes. You want the tile, grout and caulk to be a semipermanent barrier for the water. If you do not caulk the frame, water will get in there and either leak or cause mold to form. Use a good quality silicon caulk, either clear, or white or a color that matches your grout lines. J.

Hello - I have marble tile in my bathroom..we bought the tile from Louisville Tile in lexington ky. Louisville tile had told my husband to seal it. However, once he sealed it, the marble is now very dull,...

Try a buffing wheel on a side grinder to buff it out. Did they tell you to seal the tile or the grout most tiles are presealed and only the grout needs to be sealed periodically taking care not to get on tile cause it does dull it and takes alot of elbow greese to buff out but the above suggestion should make it a little easier.
