Hi

I have fixed some terracotta tiles around the outside of my pond,
using suitable external floor and wall adhesive but now have the
problem of grouting them !

I had this vague idea of colouring the recommended and sizeable bag of
grout - white is out of the question - but can't see any suitable
colourant. Is such a dye available ?

The alternative is to resort to sand and cement. Has anyone any
recommendation on the best mix or method to ensure longevity.

TIA Andy

Grout is available in a number of colours, including light and
dark greys. What colour did you want?

Something close to terracotta would be preferable and in a 10kg pack,
The white I saw filled gaps up to 10mm which would be OK. I guess this
is available from builders ?

Bal grouts are pretty good and they do a fair range of colors. Try a
google on em.
