Grout Pen Beige Tile Paint Marker: Waterproof Grout Paint, Tile Grout Colorant and Sealer Pen - Narrow 5mm, 2 Pack with Extra Tips (7mL) - Beige

Easy to use and made a dramatic difference with the old tile in my bathroom and it still looks good months later

I have used grout colorant products over the years. Previously, I used the ones that are applied with a tooth brush from a bottle. I have to say, this product was so much easier to use. I needed to coat three times, white covering gray, but the results are gorgeous. Prep is key.

Oh boy... I didn't know what I was in for buying these. My grout is off-white and wearing down in some places. It had some stains here and there. All in all, the grout in my kitchen looked terrible and it was driving me crazy.I thought I would buy these pens to do some touch ups. So first of all, if you think you are going to buy one of these pens to do some touch ups, you are wrong. There is only a 1 in a million chance that whatever pen you buy is going to match your grout perfectly. I got the ivory color pen thinking I could do some touch ups, but it was WAY brighter than my seemingly ivory colored grout.Well... I guess I was in for doing the entire floor. Let me tell you, with a busy life, it has taken me ages to complete my floor, and I'm still not done.The reason I'm giving this product 4 stars instead of 5, is because the pens just don't last very long and perhaps not engineered quite right. The description says it lasts 150ft with 2mm grout. First off, I would never use this pen on grout that small, because the tip is going to cover about 4mm. My grout is about 8-10mm wide, requiring 2 strokes for each line of grout. I can't quite say if the pens live up to the lifespan they are supposed to. It is impossible to tell if the reservoir inside is under-filled or not. All that to say, it feels like these pens run out way too early and don't live up to the longevity in the description.I think that my kitchen/ small dining area is about 160 square feet. With doing two passes on each line of grout, and my tiles being approx. 12" long, that's about 320 feet of lines to cover. However, I'm back here to buy another 2 pack to finish my floor, which will be my 6th and 7th pen. By the specs in the description, it should have taken me no more than 4 pens.But I do have to say.... My floor does look great and it's a wonderful improvement. I don't have the time or desire to regrout my kitchen floor. In fact, I think it's a terrible idea to have grout in a kitchen and would some day like to put down vinyl. The pens definitely brought my floor back to new and I will keep a pen on hand to do some touch ups, which is already needed since every time you drop a piece of food, it stains the grout. Not sure who thinks grout in a kitchen is a great idea but it was already here when I moved in.All in all, here is my take away from the pens:1. Be prepared to do your entire floor2. Be prepared for a long-ish project if your floor is bigger. This is not going to be a quick fix. What took a while for me is having to let parts dry so you don't scoot into the wet paint, and having to come back to it later.3. Be prepared to buy more pens than you think you will need4. The end result is very good in my opinion

Easy to use, just right for the job at hand. It performs as described and is easy to clean up.

I’d give this product 3 out of 5 stars. While it does cover the grout and offers a quick fix, I think simply painting the tiles would have provided a more cohesive and polished look for my bathroom. The product comes with two pens, but after using them, I realized I’d need many more to cover the entire bathroom—despite it being a small space. This is more suited for smaller areas with narrow grout lines. Unfortunately, it didn’t meet my needs for a larger project. If you have a tiny space and just want a quick touch-up, it could work, but it wasn’t quite right for what I was hoping to achieve.

Completed today and love the results!! Not sure about how long these results will last but was super easy to do and could easily reapply in the future if needed.

This pen worked perfectly! It covered both faded areas and grimy areas. My only issue was my cat “helping.” :D I was easily able to remove any of the gray that got onto the tile the scrubby strip on my mop. I only used one pen to do the entire floor and there is still liquid left in the pen. I feel like the nub held up well; the wear seemed reasonable to me. Very happy!

The media could not be loaded. Wow, where do I even begin?!I was noticing how often I was having to scrub my shower (daily) crazy hard scrubbing/deep cleaning and nothing was working.Lesson one: stay up on sealing your tile every 6-12m, this is so important so you won’t end up in the mess that I had to deal with. We moved in to this house 5 years ago and I only sealed the tile once when I first moved in. Essentially I’m four years overdue for sealing the tile. When you get behind on sealing your tile it allows water to penetrate the grout and mold/mildew begin to slowly spread despite cleaning. I did not want to pay to get this fixed because it wasn’t super bad, so I decided to tackle it myself. This is what I did…First, I applied cleaning g vinegar (30% or more) and let this soak for 3 plus hours (it’s so so so strong so please ventilate). I did multiple round of this for days. Please note, bleach does not kill mold spores! It looks like it will, but it’s not. Vinegar or hydrogen peroxide is much better.Second, I stripped the caulking with a simple box cutter.Third, I used these grout pens (winter gray color, which is very light almost white, but with a hint of cool tone) I bought 6 packs. I love the color, it’s so clean and fresh looking. I used one coat and applied in the same direction shaking the pen frequently and changing the tips when necessary. The pens were great, but seem to run out quick, so I had to buy several packs for my average size shower. They were easier to use on the floor (I will use a tube style next time for the walls). These pens were amazing though for the little floor mosaic tiles. Gently wipe with a damp rag to remove any excess grout from your tiles.Fourth, I re-caulked the shower with mold resistant shower caulk.Fifth, I sealed the shower 3 times…& put this in my calendar every six months!I am just a mom with no home repair experience, but I am extremely happy with the results and researched the process to try and do everything right!I hope this helps your shower looked like mine did :)These grout pens were amazing especially for home diy projects!
