There ARE, however, fast setting thinsets that arre made to set up in as little as 2 hours. Using these thinsets, you CAN set and grout the same day without any risks.
How soon can you Grout tile after grouting?
It is very advantageous to grout the next day as grouting to early will possible move the tiles making them uneven. As the others have said I would always grout the next day, As you don’t want the tiles to slip if the adhesive isn’t set.
Can I use rapid set and Grout the same day?
Small tiled area, there’s nothing wrong with using rapid set and grouting the same day. My advice would be leave it overnight as you will have to remove the spacers to actually grout and depending on how tight you have wedged the tiles to the spacers you may end up pulling off the tiles.
Then, how long should I leave tile spacers dry before grouting?
This is what we stumbled across. my advice would be leave it overnight as you will have to remove the spacers to actually grout and depending on how tight you have wedged the tiles to the spacers you may end up pulling off the tiles. It’s only a small job and will only take you 20-30 minutes to grout it so for what its worth i would suggest waiting 24 hours for it to fully dry.
Do you haggle over price when grouting?
You don’t haggle over price but justify it by telling the customer that to do a guarenteed job you will tile one day and grout the next. By lowering your price you are telling the customer that you are short of work or were trying it on in the first place. I have grouted the same day but you must leave 24 hours before using.
This is so the adhesive can dry up and the moisture of tge adhesive is released. If grouted too early for instance of adhesive that takes 24 hrs to dry the white grout may discolour because of the moisture still in the adhesive and it cant get out due to the grout.. So will discolour.
