A grouting machine which has a grout dispensing means for depositing grout between prepositioned floor tiles and on the upper surfaces of the tiles and which contains a grout removal means for removing excess grout from the upper surfaces of the tiles. The remaining grout fills the spaces between the sides of the tiles. The grout removal means includes at least one pick-up assembly. An air conducting system is used for moving the remaining grout slurry to a storage tank by operation of a vacuum source. A diluent addition means is provided for use in the slurry formation means when needed. An application means is provided to assure the uniform deposit of grout into the cracks between the prepositioned tiles. A drive motor, vacuum pump and diluent pump are provided on the grouting machine for operation of the various means. The grouting machine and method for operating the same are disclosed.
