The Bartoline Fix and Grout is a versatile solution for DIY enthusiasts and homeowners looking to tile bathrooms, showers, or areas with slight surface movement. It serves the dual purpose of bonding tiles to substrates and finishing the joints, offering a clean, super-white finish. While it is highly effective for most surfaces, users should note that it requires specific priming steps for new plaster or timber surfaces to ensure optimal adhesion.

This product is specifically formulated for wall tiling and is not intended for high-traffic floor applications.
You must allow at least 24 hours for the adhesive to dry thoroughly before you begin grouting.
Yes, new timber surfaces must be sealed with an oil-based primer before application.
Yes, it is moisture-resistant and suitable for areas frequently subject to wetting like shower enclosures.
The adhesive should be applied to a maximum thickness of 3mm.
Wipe away excess with a damp cloth or sponge while it is still soft.
Ensure you are not applying more than 3mm of adhesive and check that the substrate is not overly saturated or unstable.
This may indicate the adhesive was not allowed to cure for the full 24 hours before grouting started, or the surface has experienced too much movement.
Only apply adhesive to small areas at a time to ensure you stay within the 20-minute working window.
Before starting, ensure all surfaces are clean, sound, and free of dust or grease. If you are tiling onto new plaster or porous surfaces, you must prime the area with a PVA adhesive first. New timber surfaces require sealing with an oil-based primer to prevent moisture absorption. When using as grout, use a grout float to force the material into joints, then use a grout finisher for a professional appearance. Always protect newly grouted areas from water exposure until the product has dried thoroughly to avoid structural weakening of the grout lines.
