How to restore patio grout?

image.jpg

Dear Workshopsrs, 

 

I hope you can help me. I am in the process of removing grey paint which was painted onto our patio by a previous owner. 

I have successfully removed the paint and are happy with the colour of the original flags. 

However, I would like to improve the look by detailing the lines between the flags, a bit like using a Grout Pen. 

The flags are of course outdoors and exposed daily to the Sydney weather, hot, cold, wet and dry weather. 

Please could my fellow Workshopers advice on a suitable product to “redraw or redefine the lines? 

Here are some photos? 

thanks for your advice.

Re: help retoring a patio?

Hello @LuckyDaD79 

 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about restoring the grout on your patio.

 

I suggest using the QEP Professional Grout Saw to remove the painted surface of the grout. Once you've cleaned up the painted section you can top up those sections with Dunlop 800g Ready-To-Go Coloured Grout - White. But if you prefer just to paint over the surface, I recommend using Dunlop 250ml Grout Paint. Please note that the grout paint might not be able to cover the dark colour of the paint if it is too strong.

 

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.

 

Eric
