I tiled our bathroom a year ago using Traffic Master grout in a bucket. As many who've posted about this stuff, I'm completely unsatsifed, and it looks horrible. If it's not competely impossible or would cause more damage than good, I'd like to completely remove the grout and use the time tested, standard stuff.
How difficult is it to remove all grout from a bathroom sized area? Time is not an issue since looking at it everyday outweighs the labor? If it's possible to remove it and re-grout, what are the best techniques? Thanks in advance.

:thumbup: If you have a Dremel, you can buy a grout removal kit. If you don't have a Dremel, for $50 you can get the dremel and grout removal kit.

What is the width of the grout joint? Is this a floor and/or a wall tile?

1/4" and floor. Would you also suggest using a chemical grout remover to clean up the edges?
