My bathroom (and, to be honest, a lot of the house) has a bouncy as fuck floor. We're ignoring it for the moment as we'd need to redo the bathroom to fix it and most of it is fine. However, it has caused loads of the grout to come out and a tile to crack.
So, I want to regrout and replace this cracked tile. I know it's not a permanent solution but I'm fine replacing a cracked tile every year or so for the moment.
Extra complication is that (as another poster helpfully pointed out) they are not individual tiles, each tile has 4 fake tiles and a shallow gap for grouting:
So what is the best way to regrout? None of the grouting in the tiles has cracked, it's only the grouting between the big tiles and only redoing the cracked grouting would make it all a lot quicker. However, I'm a bit concerned that I would end up with two different grout colours if I didn't redo all the grouting.
Any thoughts on the best/easiest way to do it? I'm not looking for perfection, the grout is going to crack again due to the bouncy floor, but don't want it to look too weird.
Also, any thoughts on getting the existing grout out? Thick stuff will largely come out easily and I can go multiool if it needs persuading but that is probably too thick for the in tile grouting. Cheers
