Grout Pen Cream Tile Paint Marker: Waterproof Grout Paint Pen, Tile Grout Colorant and Sealer Pen for Bathroom, Shower, Kitchen, More - Cream, Narrow 5mm Tip (7mL)

Update: The owners reached out to me about my issues with this product. It's really nice to see company's that stand behind their product and unusual these days. While I still prefer their grout paint, you can't go wrong either way because if you have issues, the company goes above and beyond to help you. Phenomenal customer service. First of all, these grout pens DO work, however, they don't last very long. They are good for maybe 10-12 12"x12" squares at the most before they run out. You'll also probably need to do 2 coats for adequate coverage if you're going from a darker to lighter coverage. I went from a light grey to the cream color. If you're doing an entire floor, get the liquid grout pen paint in the jar that you paint on with a paint brush. It goes a lot further, and is actually a little easier, especially in corners. If you really really want to use the grout pens, get triple the amount you think you'll need. So if you think you'll need 2, get 6. Also, the grout pen cream color is a little lighter than the cream grout liquid paint. More like an off white color. So pick one type and stick with it. In the end, even though the liquid paint is more expensive, it will save you money in the end if you're doing a large area and not just a small touch up space. Scrubbing the grout first with the Krud Kutter is essential and necessary. Don't skip that step. Also sealing the grout and tile after you're done is important if you want it to last. It does stick on pretty well though

This stuff really works well. We used it in our bathroom tile several years ago, and it’s still holding up. I just remodeled our laundry room and used this paint on the dark grout and it worked great. Just paint it on the grout and wipe the excess off the tiles. If you leave it on for 20 minutes or more, you can still remove the excess, but you’ll need a scrubbing pad It’s definitely a product I would recommend.

This grout marker works really well and is easy to use. It made my grout look clean and fresh right away. The only downside is that it didn’t last as long as I expected and ran out pretty quickly. I’d give it 5 stars if it lasted longer.

Great product!

I used a premix grout to patch a small area in my shower, but it only came in white. I wanted a grout pen to match my current grout and bought 2 color pens - Ivory and Cream. The ivory was too white, and the cream has a yellow tint to it. See pictures. I only kept the ivory on the side of the shower where it was bordering the white ledge. As you can see from closeup shots, the cream has a very yellow tint even after drying. Outside of the color matching issue, very easy to use and makes the grout look almost new. See pictures of the bottom of my shower. Had to do the whole floor or it would have been obvious that the colors were not the same if I only touched up certain areas. This brand doesn’t come with the option of almond, which is the only other light shade I can think of that would match my current grout. Buying another brand to see if almond is a better match for my grout.

It Really Works!

The grout pen seems to have a chamber for the paint, a hard foam applicator tip, and then a valve that connects the two, so that when pressure is applied on the tip, more paint flows into the foam tip. I encountered several problems with this design. The foam tip doesn't necessarily stay in the pen; paint can leak out during use. The foam tip is a very poor conductor of the paint - far worse than a brush - so the layer applied is think and uneven. Because the tip is so wide, I think I ended up with more paint on the shower tiles than covering the grout. And you can't get within 1/4" of a corner. Fortunately, clean up is very easy - just wipe with a damp paper towel. Lastly, unless you are working on the grout in the floor, paint just doesn't flow through the device. While working on the shower walls, I had to depress the pen tip against a paper towel on the floor to get more paint into the tip. Frankly, this would work better as a jar of paint with a small brush. It's been six weeks or so since application. The grout look does cleaner, except where it's already wearing off. Overall, I'd say this is appropriate only for short-term cosmetic "improvements". Wouldn't use again.

I used this grout paint on my kitchen and bathroom tiles and was really impressed with the results. It was easy to apply, covered the old stained grout well, and made the whole room look cleaner and brighter. The paint dried nicely and gave the grout a fresh, neat finish. It saved me from having to regrout everythin. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone wanting a quick and affordable tile refresh.
