Product Information

Full details

The Bartoline Fix and Grout Tile Adhesive is a versatile, high-quality solution designed for DIYers and professional tilers looking for a reliable product that functions as both an adhesive and a grout. It is ideal for tiling various substrates, including wood, and performs exceptionally well in moisture-prone areas like bathrooms and showers. The primary benefit is its convenience as a dual-purpose product that dries to a crisp, clean white finish, though users should be mindful that it requires careful surface preparation and a 24-hour drying period before grouting can begin.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this for floor tiles?

This product is primarily formulated for wall tiling and substrates subject to small movement; it is not recommended for heavy-traffic floor applications.

How long should I wait before grouting?

You must allow the tile adhesive to dry thoroughly for at least 24 hours before attempting to grout the joints.

Do I need to prime new plaster walls?

Yes, all new plaster or porous surfaces must be primed with a PVA adhesive before applying the Bartoline Fix and Grout.

Is this product waterproof?

It is water-resistant and suitable for areas subject to frequent wetting, such as showers and bathrooms, provided it is allowed to cure completely.

What is the maximum thickness for the adhesive?

The adhesive should be applied to a maximum thickness of 3mm for the best results.

How do I remove excess grout?

Use a damp cloth or sponge to remove excess grout shortly after application, then polish the surface with a damp cloth once hardened.

Troubleshooting

Adhesive not bonding to the wall surface

Ensure the wall was properly primed; check if the surface was free of dust and grease prior to application.

Grout cracking in the joints

Ensure the grout was not applied too thinly and that the underlying tile adhesive had fully cured for 24 hours before beginning the grouting process.

Surface feels tacky or soft after 24 hours

High humidity may extend drying time; ensure the room is well-ventilated and avoid water contact until fully hardened.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Suitable for use on surfaces prone to slight movement
  • Excellent for high-moisture environments like bathrooms
  • Bright white aesthetic provides a clean, modern look
  • Easy to clean up excess during the application process

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting your project, ensure all surfaces are clean, sound, and free from debris, grease, or dust. For optimal adhesion, new plaster or porous surfaces must be primed with PVA adhesive, while new timber surfaces require sealing with an oil-based primer. When applying, do not exceed a 3mm thickness. If using as a grout, push the material firmly into joints, allow it to harden slightly for a few minutes, then finish with a grout finisher tool. Protect the area from direct water contact until the product has cured completely. Maintain the surface by wiping with a damp cloth; avoid harsh chemical cleaners that may degrade the grout lines.
