Hi,



Planning to patch back the white stuff in between tiles in one of my bathrooms. some of it as come off after three years and would like to restore them.


Is that white cement or putty filla? Correct me if i'm wrong ....but if use putty filla, it will come out after a while because it absorbs water. Would white cement be the correct choice?


How do the pros do it? From what i can see, the easiest way to patch back the white material is to use masking tape to on tiles and slap on the white paste in between the gaps..

Try search for tile reform grouting, easier to use.

Just purchase a 2kg bag of white cement will do the trick!

First you use tile grout.

Then for added waterproofing properties apply Sika Groutseal over the tile grout after it dries.

Confirm nice one.
