One of the last bits that they need to work on includes filling grout between tiles. It isn\u2019t uncommon to find thick and uneven grout lines when you move into a new construction home or a used home you just bought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Contractors usually take a long time to fix these because they\u2019re really not that easy to \u2018fix\u2019. So how do you fix thick and uneven grout lines yourself?
