grouter

Tile joint worker

A grouter is a person or tool that applies grout—the paste used to fill gaps between tiles, bricks, or masonry.

The term usually refers to the handheld tool, a rubber-edged float that spreads grout into joints: I need a grouter to finish the bathroom floor.

A professional who specializes in grouting work may also be called a grouter.
