Brown grout

Black_Knight

I've a small bit of tiling to do (half a meter squared), but the tiles I have are 45x45 with a pattern that looks like 4 tiles. The "4 tiles" are "grouted" brown. I'm trying to find where I can get some brown grout to match, but i've only found 1 or 2 places online. Most else is all white, ivory, grey or black grout/adhesive.

Any idea where, in Cork, I can get some brown grout/adhesive?

Not sure if there's one in Cork, but I got some in B&Q in Dublin (was maybe 2 years ago now, but I'd imagine they still have it)

Going to try B&Q at lunch today. Any other ideas if they fall through?

Anywhere that does tiles really I suppose. I got the tiles in B&Q too!

Update for anyone ever looking for brown grout. B&Q do not sell it. :rolleyes:
Search continues. I'll check out a few tile places this evening.

If you can get a loan of a time machine -2 years ago, belgard road branch - they have tons of it!

Are you sure they are grouted brown.a lot of times there is a groove cut in to give the illusion of separate tiles.this groove is usually red ish brown.when you grout the groove is filled with the grout and the colour I'd the same.

There is a groove, but it does kinda have a finished grout look. It's works well with it too. If I can't get any brown I might just get grey and as you say, grout the groove.

You will never get the same colour/texture as the brown grooves so it will never look right.this is why you normally grout in the grooves when your grouting the finished tiling.its all the same shade then.

I know it’s outa your area but I bought brown grout for my own bathroom in Portlaoise. Walsh’s tile and bathroom. I’m sure you could pay over the phone and have it delivered by post.

Cheers all.

Got some in a tile shop that's liquidating. Saved a few quid.
