FAQs

Is Grout Rescue a grout paint?

Grout Rescue is often searched for as grout paint, but it is actually a professional grout colour sealer. Unlike surface paints, it penetrates porous grout, permanently recolouring it while sealing against moisture, stains and dirt. This makes it longer-lasting and more durable than traditional grout paints.

Is Grout Rescue better than a grout pen?

Yes. While grout pens are convenient, they typically sit on the surface and wear away quickly, especially in bathrooms and kitchens. Grout Rescue works as a grout colourant and sealer, bonding with the grout itself to provide a more consistent finish and longer-lasting protection.

What is the difference between the three Grout Rescue versions?

All three versions use the same professional grout colour sealer. The difference is the application format:

  • The 237ml bottle offers maximum flexibility and coverage.
  • The 100ml brush head bottle is designed for easier, tidier application on smaller areas.
  • The Applicator Kit includes specialist tools for faster, cleaner and more precise application on larger projects.

Which Grout Rescue format should I choose?

Choose based on the size of your project and how you prefer to apply:

Can Grout Rescue be used in bathrooms and showers?

Yes. Grout Rescue is ideal for bathrooms, showers and kitchens, where grout is exposed to moisture and frequent cleaning. Once cured, it helps seal grout joints and reduce future staining and mould growth.

Can I use Grout Rescue on floor grout?

Yes. Grout Rescue is suitable for both wall and floor grout. For larger floor areas, the Applicator Kit is often preferred due to its speed and precision.

Does Grout Rescue replace the need for re-grouting?

In most cases, yes. Grout Rescue is a cost-effective alternative to re-grouting when existing grout is intact but discoloured or stained. It restores appearance and seals grout without the mess, cost or disruption of removal and replacement.

Is Grout Rescue suitable for DIY use?

Yes. All Grout Rescue formats are designed for DIY application, with no specialist tools or professional experience required. Proper cleaning and preparation are essential to achieve the best results.

Will Grout Rescue seal grout as well as change the colour?

Yes. Grout Rescue is a combined grout colourant and sealer, meaning it both recolours grout and helps protect it from moisture, dirt and staining in one application process.

How long does Grout Rescue last compared to grout paint or pens?

When applied correctly, Grout Rescue lasts significantly longer than grout paints or pens because it penetrates and seals the grout rather than sitting on the surface. This makes it more resistant to wear, moisture and regular cleaning.
