Grouting

[cameliaheartfelt]

Had black tiles on bathroom floor and had ivory grout in between. Tiler said black grout not good as shows the dirt more?? Surly ivory is worse. My husband also said ivory to match wall tiles but just doesn't look right. If you are having a black floor it should all look black in my opinion. Can I somehow colour (in) the ivory grout with something black? Can black grout be put on top of ivory grout without the ivory being removed? Don't want to do the second option as don't want tiler back. Any ideas please?

You can get coloured grouting pens in DIY stores but don't know how well they work.

I found this while wondering how to re-grout floor tiles, I'm in a rented house for the past 5 years,basically the tiles are here longer than me! dark smallish tiles in the kitchen with dark grout, but light tiles in the bathroom & I'm not convinced it was dark grout to begin! I would think a lighter colour grout would be a good thing if they are large tiles! It's the black tiles that are going to show the dirt more not the grout! Sounds silly but true.
But can you tell me is your grouting level with your tiles, bit above your tiles or somewhat below??

I would say the grouting is level with the tiles.
