Can anyone advise as to what mix and type of grout to use on the concrete coping slabs at the edge of pool please.

My builder ex son in law used a coloured silicon sealant as he said that even though the edge was stone (marble in this case) they do expand and contract in the heat. The silicon moves with the stone and seems to have been successful.

Normally we grout them with a good quality grey floor grout. Advisable to put some flexy in the mix. Get the best quality you can. There is a shop opposite to the Old Bektas supermarket near the Pia Bella, That stocks BASF products and other quality building adhesives.

Thanks for those replies,but no better off informed.

Internet -- 2/1 sand and portland cement, or epoxy resin or flexible resin.

I need to regrout between the coping stones themselves not underneath ,ie rake out and re-level but what product do I use?

Has anyone done this and what product was used,solid or flexible?
