Since I have never done tile these might be simple questions to many.
Basically I'd like to regrout the tile bathroom wall. The current grout color is dark grey/black and I want to change to white, as the tile color is white.
One thing I notice is that the tiles are stacked against each other. These are Daltile tiles and the tiles have built-in spacers along the edges. I suppose the installer didn't bother to allow more space for grout and just placed them all against each other.
The question is first then how to remove the old grout--the grout lines are mostly like 1/32" thin. I have not found a grout remover with a blade size that small.
Should I try using a Dremel tool--would the blade be thin enough to remove the grout and not damaging the tile?
Is there such a small size grout remover blade available in some tile shops?
Another probably simple question to many is that if tile cement/grout material is left on the tub and dried out, say on the tub surface, is there a way to remove the material?
Thx.
