And a fourth added: “Looks awesome!”
The mum revealed that it was really “simple” to do, and added that she “just mixed the grout up and went for it!
“Once it had dried a little I took the excess grout off the tiles with a dry cloth.”
She told another social media user that she only needed a third of a tub mixed with water to do the entire job.
