Pom_Jao_Choo Posted November 5, 2003 Report Share Posted November 5, 2003 Hoping that someone here from our diverse backgrounds or one of the many members here are either home or shop owners, might advise me on mudding tiles. The groute or mud, between some of the floor tiles have eroded away to te point that there is space leading under 2 of the tiles right next to the drain. Anoyingly some kind of little flea fancies it a happy dwelling if I don't bleach their asses twice a week. The appartment is actually very nice, and the lack of groute is limited to areas where I have used excessive amounts of "Duck RA-Killer 2". And is my fault largelly. I am not intending to do the entire room, just the area described. So appart from making sure the surface is completley dried and cleaned with a strong brush. Anything more to spreading some of this gunk in? And exactly what type of product should I look for (English or Thai name appreciated). I'm not willing to remove the tile to do it properly however I could likely call the buildings super or the lady whom I rent from. But I'm a guy and I "have to" do it myself. anyone ?

Guest Posted November 5, 2003 Report Share Posted November 5, 2003 For small patch work you are smart not to do more than just reseal the grout joints,Start lifting tile..... and it could easily get to be a big project. You are looking for Tile grout, or tile grout patch. Try one of the building supply places will have, or even a general hardware store... but I have no idea what it is called in Thai. Or find some workmen doing a tile job ..... everywhere..... and buy a cup or two from them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.. Posted November 6, 2003 Report Share Posted November 6, 2003 This is Thailand! Why are you doing such menial tasks yerself? Find your building's handymen (they all got 'em) and offer to pay him to do it. Shouldn't be more than a couple hundred baht and maybe a beer or two.

Pom_Jao_Choo Posted November 6, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2003 Thanks LH. I had that thought too about getting some from the guys on a small job. But after seeing them a dozen times where did they all go? Never mind I will try "Tile Groute" or "Groute Patch" on the boys over at Carefour, they seem to be fairly litterate. Thanks.
