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

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.

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!

These work as expected! Actually BETTER! I thought I had the wrong color at first and got the ivory instead (which ended up being perfect for my shower floor). But the white I was able to use on all my bathroom floors. I had the master bath floor steam cleaned which worked well but this took it to a whole new level! You can't even see the grout lines they blend so well. Bought 6 more pens and did my other 3 bathrooms that have white floors. They have rarely been used in 10 years but now they look brand new! Still have 4 pens left. Technique is to NOT press to hard once flowing. Press and glide in two directions. Best part is they don't look FAKE! Just glorious bright grout! Highly highly highly recommend!!!!!

I like the color saturation and ease of use with these pens, HOWEVER, because it is a sponge tip it can be difficult to get smooth lines if you are working on grout above your head (in other words - holding the pen upside down). I'm also not sure what my expectation was for how far one pen would get me but it can be expensive if you have a whole bathroom of tile and grout you are trying to refurbish. The pen works well but color runs out rather quickly.
