It’s a DIY Day in the kitchen! I am going to address our pink grout lines in the kitchen’s backsplash. Joining me in a kitchen DIY will be Tammy Patina and Paint and Corine Junk to Gems, I will have their DIY (Do It Yourself) linked at the bottom of my page.
How to paint discolored grout lines
Start by removing the plug-in plates, clean and dry the backsplash.
There are many options when painting grout lines. There are paint pins and grout paint to buy all probably would be a great way to paint grout lines. But for my project, in my past project I used latex paint on the grout lines of our master bathroom’s floor 3 years ago, it has held up great with daily use. To view that DIY project you can view here UPDATING GROUT LINES.
The color paint I will be using Even Better Beige by Behr. The same color as our wall color in our home. Also, a small stiff craft paint brush to apply the paint.
When applying the paint, I did a rubbing stroke instead of painting the paint on, making sure the paint went deep into the grout.
I painted every single grout line in our backsplash, I let it dry for an hour.
To remove the paint, I used hot water, dish soap and a scrubbing pad.
Using a scrubbing pad to remove all the paint off the tile then wiped it all down with a microfiber cloth.
The last step I applied a spray on sealer. This step probably isn’t necessary, but since I had it on hand, I decided to apply it to the backsplash. I followed the instructions.
Painting the grout lighter was budget friendly and a great decision. In fact, it didn’t take much paint in my sampler paint to cost more than $3.00. The backsplash has brightened up a lot and looks great!
Painting grout was super easy — if you want to see exactly how I did it in a video, you can view in one of my social medias below.

Decorating our home on a budget is my thrill. I think a home can look beautiful without breaking the bank. Your home should bring the best out of you and make you feel happy. You should smile every time you enter your home. 🙂
Terrie what a difference paint makes! I love how fresh and updated your backsplash looks. Great job and thanks for sharing. So pretty. I can’t wait to see how it looks all decorated.
Thanks Tammy. Power of paint is what I always say. 🙂
