Go to a harware store like the large outlet, Las Chafiras is Chafiras.

I did hope someone might actually know if it was sold here as it is in the UK...just trying to save myself a bit of time and running around. Fergres was another place that I thought might have it, but if anyone can name a shop that stocks it it would be helpful. In UK itīs called Aqua Mix Tile grout colourant itīs easy to apply and will change any grout colour internal or external.

Thanks Balcony!

You could try mixing a bit of grout with cold Tea to see if you can get to the colour you want .........stronger the brew darker the colour

Hi Suej , i was stuck a few yrs ago with the same prob , it depends on the colour you want but i got red ink from a pen and mixed it in with grout i bought so it might be a thought. good luck .

There is a little hardware store in Valle san Lorenzo that sells dye that you put in white paint so maybe they would sell the stuff you are looking for. It is on the main road on the left hand side almost opposite the Alceza (spelling) supermarket

I know the one Jackie, Thanks. I think I might try Goyo too. There is a very good product available but itīs whether they sell it or an equivalent here!;)

Sorry your stressed ,but i was being serious .I once mixed Cochineal (aka Carmine ) in grout to get red grout for a bathroom some many years ago and it worked ................bonus was i never got any spiders ,insects in the bathroom ,may have been just a coinsidence ,but then again maybe the smell of their friends blood !!!!:eek::eek:

Thanks to all for the suggestions! but we need grout colourant...the grout has just been done so cannot be grouted again, the colour needs to be darkened from a light grey to a darker grey, regrouting is out of the question trying to grout over the top would look horrendous and wouldnīt work anyway unfortunately.

I would try darkening the grout by using the tinting medium you can buy from chafiras. If youīve noticed, grout discolours anyway (particularly on floors) so I dont see why you cant colour (darken) exsisting grout.

Thatīs probably the stuff! Yes you can colour grout quite easily as itīs porous...might even try it on the kitchen tiles!
