How do you change tile grout color?
You can get grout stain. It will let you make it darker. If you want to change the grout altogether then it can be easily removed, but time consuming. Simple grout removal tools are available at local home stores. Also a oscillating multifunction power tool will make quick work of it. Then re-grout the joints in whatever color you choose. Grout charts are available where grout is sold. Remember grout will look darker when being installed and will dry lighter. Be very careful of making sure everything is clean. Vacuum out old joints with a wet/dry shop vac. If you use a power tool to remove grout have someone follow behind it with a shop vac. Or you will have dust everywhere.
How long should it take to tile a small bathroom that is 3 by 3 metres with very large tiles?
Depending on the tilesetter, but typically a couple days. The floor needs to be prepared and if there was any patching it may need to dry. The tilesetter may want to come back the next day. Then the tile needs to be set and if the tilesetter has good tools that should only take an hour or two. Then the mortar needs to set before the tilesetter can do the grout. Grouting should take most of a day since the grout needs to cure while it is being cleaned. You should not walk on the tile while the grout is setting up and sealing the grout should wait for a few days. The time involved isn't so much a funciton of the size of the tile job, but more a function of the mortar and grout setting times.
