"Hi this is Jon and in this clip we'll be grouting. If we take a look at the base of our door on the inside we have a nicely laid tile that's grouted, however when we did install the door we had to chip away some of the grout so that our new door would fit in place. So what we need to do now is mix up some new grout and fill that in so we have a nice finished look. First thing we need to do is vacuum up any debris that was left. First we're just going to take a little bit of water in a cup and we're just going to spoon in some of our grout mix. Next, we're just going to mix that up and keep adding more grout until we have the consistency of thick mud. What I've done now is just taken a Ziploc bag and cut a little hole at the corner and I'm just going to squeeze that grout into that opening just like you would with a pastry bag on a cake and then I'm just going to tool it in with my finger. Then you'll want to just come back with a damp sponge and real gently just clean it up. Once our grout is dry we're going to come back and add a little sealant to that grout so that it will last a long time and again once that grout dries that will be the same color as our old grout and it will look great."
