Product Information

Full details

The Bartoline Fix and Grout is a versatile, dual-purpose tiling solution designed for DIY enthusiasts and trade professionals needing to fix and grout wall tiles in residential bathrooms or showers. This product offers the convenience of a combined adhesive and grout that dries to a bright, crisp white finish, making it excellent for high-moisture environments. A key caveat to keep in mind is that this product requires a 24-hour drying period before transitioning from the fixing stage to the grouting stage, necessitating patience for successful results.

FAQs

Can I use this on floors?

No, this product is specifically formulated for wall tile applications.

How thick should I apply the adhesive?

The adhesive should be applied to a maximum thickness of 3mm using a notched spatula.

Do I need to prime new plaster?

Yes, new plaster and other porous surfaces must be primed with a PVA adhesive before application.

How long until I can grout the tiles?

You must allow the adhesive to dry thoroughly for 24 hours before you begin the grouting process.

Is it safe for use in showers?

Yes, the formula is designed to withstand frequent wetting, making it ideal for bathrooms and shower areas.

What do I use to seal new timber?

Use an oil-based primer to properly seal new timber surfaces before applying the adhesive.

Troubleshooting

Adhesive is drying before tiles are positioned

Work in smaller sections to ensure you fix tiles within the 20-minute open-time window.

Grout lines appear uneven or messy

Use a dedicated grout finisher tool for consistent lines and clean away excess material with a damp sponge while still workable.

Tiles are not sticking to the substrate

Ensure the surface was primed correctly. Raw plaster and timber require specific priming steps before adhesive application.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Combined functionality saves time and money
  • Suitable for use on surfaces with slight movement
  • Excellent for wet room environments
  • Easy to apply with standard tiling tools
  • Dries to a bright, clean white color

Cons

  • Requires a 24-hour curing window before grouting
  • Not suitable for high-traffic floor installations
  • Limited to a maximum adhesive thickness of 3mm
  • Requires specific primers for new plaster or raw timber

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting your project, ensure all surfaces are completely clean, sound, and free of loose debris, grease, or dust. Compatibility depends on the substrate: if you are working with new plaster or porous surfaces, you must prime the area with a PVA adhesive first. For new timber installations, an oil-based primer is required to seal the wood. To maintain your finished surface, avoid harsh chemical cleaners and keep the tiled area dry for the initial 24-48 hours to ensure maximum durability of the bond and grout lines.
