About this item
- LOOK BRAND NEW: Skip scrubbing tiles and use Grout Pen to paint and recolor your grout for a bright clean appearance
- USE ANYWHERE: Ideal for the bathroom, kitchen, and any other room that has floor or ceiling tiles
- LONG LASTING INK: Tackle small or large DIY projects with a pen that covers up to 100 feet of wide grout lines
- ADVANCED FORMULA: Non-toxic, water-based colorant that covers grubby grout stains making it look brand new again
- CAP COLOR: Use the color chart (see images) for most accurate color depiction. Pen cap represents each pen's color but is not expected to be the exact shade, do a small test area first
- SEALED GROUT: Grout Pen may not bond to recently sealed grout. Test the grout with a few drops of water. If the grout does not absorb the water within a few minutes then the grout was likely sealed
- TIP MAY WEAR DOWN: Tip is made of cotton, pressing too hard will damage tip. Contact seller for replacement tips if needed
- SHAKE ONLY WITH CAP ON: Tip is removable and may fall out if shaken hard, only shake pen with cap on (note - Pen does not need to be shaken at all, instead gently pump tip to activate)
- DRY TIP: Pen needs to be primed before use, all new Grout Pens come with a dry white tip. To activate gently pump the tip (20-30 times) until fully saturated

The GROUT PEN I received has a dry white tip, is it broken or did I receive the wrong color?
Tips need to be primed before use, all brand new GROUT PENS have a dry white tip until they are activated.
The tip of my GROUT PEN fell out or is worn down, is my pen broken?

The color of the pen cap is not exactly the color I want

Top reviews from the United States
There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
One wall in my shower has a dark gray grout, which in spots was beginning to discolor. I scrubbed and scrubbed, however, I could not bring the color back. I used a dark gray grout pen and colored all of the grout on that shower wall and it turned out great. It was easy to use, clean up of any excess on the tile was simple and the color looks great. See photos.
Next, my kitchen backsplash. The backsplash is made up of white subway tile with white grout. The only problem is that the white grout became very dingy and yellowish over time. I used the same dark gray grout pens for the backsplash and it turned out amazing. See photos.
The grout pens last a long time in my opinion. I used maybe one and a half pens for both my kitchen backsplash and shower wall. I even double coated near the kitchen sink and behind the oven for extra protection.
It took me about 8 hours to do the kitchen and shower wall. My recommendation to you would be to complete your task, allow the grout to dry for an hour or so and come back to wipe down the excess color off of the tiles. With a damp cloth, the excess color wipes right off of the tiles. With a non-porous tile, you don’t need to worry about coloring outside the lines. It will not stain. Don’t wipe down after every bit of color you get on the tile, it will add so much time to your job. Wait until you’re all finished, then clean.
I used microfiber towels, bundled up and damp. I worked it in circle motions through the tile wall, trying not to apply to much pressure to the grout lines. When the grout color is fresh, some may wipe off if you apply too much pressure directly to the grout. This is why I recommend waiting an hour + before wiping down. Allow it to settle into the grout. I started wiping too quickly after application and had to add some color again.
After you clean up the excess color off of the tiles, examine for any touch up areas. There will likely be a few.
Some reviews addressed the pen tip breaking. I never experienced this. During the color process, keep a paper plate handy to dab and prime the color into the pen tip. Do this often and you won’t need to press hard while coloring. I could see it breaking if you go all King Kong on it.
I can’t speak for the durability of the product yet, but as time goes on, I will update my review. I may add a spray on tile/grout seal after a few days to help protect the color as well.

Application is simple. It sticks to the grout and wipes easily off the face of the tile.
However, in my experience the coverage is wildly inaccurate.
My project had 37M of grout to cover. The pens state they have "Up to 60M coverage for narrow grout joints." One pen should easily do it right? Well, I bought 2 pens just to have a spare if needed later touch-ups.
The first pen lasted 12.4M, and the second pen just 8.9M. My grout lines are between 1.5-3MM wide which seem to be fairly narrow. (The pen applicator is about 4.7MM wide) My grout is fairly smooth and didn't hardly require any second passes. (Until I was trying to milk the last bits out of the pens)
I can't imagine under what conditions they got "up to 60M coverage". Being off by 80-85% from real world usage is pretty absurd. I'd much rather they give a range or average instead of the vague "up to".
Now I must stare at my half finished project, waiting for the second batch of pens to be delivered.
