How can I improve the look of the grout between my subway tile?
My tiler left a wide spacing between subway tiles. The black grout accentuates this unevenness and the wall looks really messy. Can you scrape the grout out or go over it in white? Any ideas on how to improve the appearance?

Did you and the tilers both sign a contract before the work started?

If you just had it done, I would call him back to correct his work.
Thanks, yes I did ask for black grout. He has come back and is scraping back grout ( slow and messy) between subway tiles, there was so much excess. looking better. Next will remove black caulk and put in white. Hope it works.
